Mik 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Well, I just returned from Easter weekend at my parents house, which is why I wasn't able to comment on the matter beforehand, but I'm sorry to Al and pinjockey and all the other poor Phillies fans, because the Marlins owned them this weekend. Beckett was damn near unhittable today (literally) and Choi and Cabrera are swatting homeruns like flies. It's beautiful right now. It's also nice to see Benitez way out in front of everyone else with 5/5 save conversions. The Phillies might beat everyone else, but they still can't touch the Marlins.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I meant for the rest of the season. They could win as many series as they want, but until they actually produce some Ws against the Marlins, they are gonna have it in the back of their head that they can't beat them...and lately they can't.

Guest Wildbomb 4:20 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Good to see both games I go to so far are Sox wins. Ortiz's homer wasn't dramatic enough. We gotta have the over-the-head wave for it to be perfect. Damn long ball though. Jones shoulda got sent down instead of Daubach, dammit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bored 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 Well Arthur Rhodes couldn't get through the first week without blowing his first save although he breezed through his first three so I guess I won't panic yet. Chris Hammond then decides this game has gone on too long and gives up five in the 10th. A's about to hand the Fighting Bavasi's their first win. Pop the champagne Mr. Rant!

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted April 11, 2004 I don't know what is going on with our offense. 13 runs in six games is absolutely terrible. Well, a Reds series is the perfect chance to turn it around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest OctoberBlood Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Well, a Reds series is the perfect chance to turn it around. Nah. 1st or 2nd in the league in ERA. No more Jimmy Anderson, Joey Hamilton, or any double A pitchers who aren't ready - plus, you'll miss Jimmy Haynes. Thankfully. BTW, what's the word on the new park? Does it suppose to favor the pitchers or hitters, or neither? I'm looking forward to it, it's a beauty from what I saw. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 From most accounts, it seems to favor the hitters. That's the impression you'd get from most commentators, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dimensions are about the same as before. The offense should go up some because of the weird angles in the outfield. The wall is higher and lower at some points.

The Czech Republic 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 Am I the only one who prefers the Cubs' blue "alternate" jerseys to these ugly-ass grey ones they're wearing today? Oh yeah everyone prefers the blue to the grey. I apologize to the white-grey purists of baseball, but those road uniforms are awful for the Cubs...in the playoffs they jsut went to white at home, blue on the road, and it was better.

Mik 0 Report post Posted April 12, 2004 I'd just like to say that no matter what happened in this offseason, after one week of regular season play, Pudge would be on the team with the best record in baseball (Marlins and Tigers both 5-1). Now, of course, his former team will keep winning and his current will not, but as of right now...not so bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
