Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 Tie game, bases loaded, eighth inning, and the second best hitter in baseball at the plate. Who's #1? Vlad or Ichiro? I didn't see the Yankee game, skipped it to go out for dinner/drinks, and I'm glad. I hope I'm wrong about Wright, but I was really down on his signing, and this start doesn't give me much hope. I know Baltimore is potent, but they got shut down by Saarloos and Haren, so the 7 million dollar man should be able to handle em I wish we still had Lieber Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cuban Linx 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 The Bullpen was very good for the Rangers last season, but their start this year has been less impressive, yesterday they give up the winning run to the Angels in the bottom of the 9th, and today make a royal mess of things in the 8th to lose to the Mariners. A 1-3 start, but they were in each game right up to the end and with some luck their record could be the other way around, so there's definite promise for the season ahead.

Dobbs 3K 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 Brewers are undefeated and Mets are win-less. I love opening week of baseball, its the short amount of time before everything re-adjusts and Brewers go back to the cellar and Mets return to their normal mediocry. These aren't the same Brewers of years past...get used to it. I'm not saying they're going to make the play-offs, but a season above .500 isn't unrealistic this year. They have a very good starting rotation, including one legit ace (Sheets) and another who could be the ace on many other teams (Doug Davis). Plus, the trade for Carlos Lee is already paying dividends on offense and Spivey is healthy and producing thus far. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 The Brewers are a lot like the Reds. Some good talent in their starting lineup, but once injuries hit, there's no depth and that's when everything falls apart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaceman Spiff 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 An interesting note of managerial idiocy, stolen from a Phillies board, that I did not even realize watching the game: Think about this guys. He replaced Burrell with Perez, an IF. Then he pinch hit for Michaels with Lofton. That means if Lofton had got a hit, the bottom of the inning would have seen Abreu in RF, Lofton in CF and............... in LF. He had no other OFs since he blew through Burrell and Michaels. So either Offerman or Perez or even Polanco might have been in RF. So not only is he braindead in the dugout, he was braindead when he decided to carry only 4 OFs. Hey, is it too late to bring in Leyland? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 I swear the Yankees actually brainstorm ways to score runs without actually getting hits. Heres a new one. Break up a double play by giving the 2nd baseman a bloody nose, which disallows him to get the ball, which allows a run to score. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jericholic82 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2005 Hey hold it right there. Stop assuming that EVERY Yankee fan was so worried becuase Mo blew a few saves. Its the first week of the season, you don't worry about stuff like that yet. That being said, the yanks-os was a good game today. And the yanks continue to play the comeback kids (with lots of money in their pockets) from last year. Also shows why Randy agreed to come to the Bronx. Even when he has a bad day and gives up 5 runs, the Yanks find a way to bail him out on offense. I didnt see the Boston Game much. I saw the score was 5-4 after an ortiz homer, then was shocked to see that Toronto won by that score. In any events, it looks liek the orioles will be a tough team this year as they have a very potent lineup. If they had a better pitching staff they might contend.
