Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted April 4, 2005 I'll watch the Reds opening day. They seem to have a lot of faith in Austin Kearns as he'll be batting 4th tomorrow. I'm guessing Griffey will look good for about a month before going on the DL in May. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

strummer 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 Due to the Time Warner/Cablevision turmoil and ESPN local blackouts, I will be unable to watch the Mets opener in Cincinnati. This royally sucks. It's back to the 1950s as I will have to listen to the game on the radio (and I probably will have to the whole season as there is no end in sight to the Time Warner/Cablevision fiasco). I'm still psyched for the start of the season though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sfaJack 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 I'm skipping my workout this afternoon so that I can make it home for first pitch of the Cubs game. I definitely miss my college days when I could take in a whole triple-header on Opening Day. GO CUBS! Though I'm excited about the new season I'm not as optimistic as I was going into last year.

Damaramu 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 About last night......damn that Randy Johnson. I remember though I was wearing my Boston hat at work and this girl in a Red Sox shirt walked by and was like "Hey Sox are going to win tonight right?" and I just said "Well Randy Johnson is dangerous and I don't trust Daivd Wells." Hey.....I was right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mike546 0 Report post Posted April 4, 2005 I have a question. Beside the fact that I KNEW Randy Johnson was an amazing pitcher, and from the fact I’ve seen his stats, I haven’t actually SEEN much of him in my lifetime. I know that’s sad, but I tend to forget the 01 WS, and the only time the Yanks faced him since was a game we beat him up pretty bad. So after watching the game, I was a bit confused. He pitched well, but wasn’t the complete OVER POWERING pitcher I expected. I think it was just because it was his first start. My question is, is Johnson the COMPLETE DOMINATING pitcher he’s made out to be, or not? Oh, and I'd like to hand out a personal "told ya so" to Al. Even though it was only two innings, Sturtze was NASTY again, just like all spring. Fluke my ass. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even though it was only two innings, Sturtze was NASTY again, just like all spring. Fluke my ass. Sometimes he is, sometimes he isn't. Depends on the line-up he's facing as I've seen quite a few beat him all over the field. Then there are nights where you can't touch him. Pressure situations? You can't touch him so just forget it. I'm sorry but the people who were comparing the signing of David Wells to the signing of Randy Johnson, were high. I'll think Wells is a great signing when he makes a full season without having a hot dog take him down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest LooneyTune Report post Posted April 4, 2005 David Wells isn't in Randy Johnson's league. Wells has great control (something he didn't show last night), but other than that, he's not as dominating as Randy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whatever it was, you know he will be smiling for months. Kris Benson will constantly stay on the DL as long as he a) has a hot wife and b) has a hot wife who is constantly horny. Hell, you can bet if he stubs his toe that he'll go on the DL for 60 days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
