MLB Opening Day Thread

Recommended Posts

Intriguing lineup the Reds are trotting out today:

 

D Jimenez 2B

K Griffey Jr CF

S Casey 1B

A Kearns RF

A Dunn LF

J Randa 3B

R Aurilia SS

J LaRue C

 

Kearns cleaning up? Casey in the three hole? Dunn stuffed back at No. 5?

And Griffey batting 2nd?

Griffey's average from last year wasn't that great so I don't think they wanted to stick him in 4th. Dunn also isn't a good choice for 4th. Like I said earlier they must have a lot of faith in Kearns to bat him 4th.

Welcome back to the NL, Pedro

Three run homer by Adam Dunn.

He fucking jacked that son of a bitch

 

And that's understating it.

 

424 feet....yeah right. Add an extra 100 feet and I might agree.

Absolutely. Injuries held down Kearns' production last year. When healthy, he can and will hit. He posted a .315/.407/.500 line at the age of 22.

Some anchor woman on Channel 13 in preparation for the O's game said she hopes the Orioles have another memorable season like 1988.

 

The Orioles finished 54-107 in 1988!

Maybe she hates Peter Angelos' guts

 

Edit: and/or paid off by the Nats

Or she hates the Orioles in general.

There was nothing positive about 1988 for the Orioles. Even Cal played like crap that season.

That was an amazing team. The Orioles had TWO infielders fail to break a .270 slugging percentage.

Lima's been pulled. His final stats:

 

3 IP, 6 H, 5 ER, 3 HR and 2K 15.00 ERA.

The brilliance of Tony Pena, not starting Zack Greinke opening day. Jose Lima is a mediocre NL pitcher. Greinke is without question, the Royals best pitcher.

Well, they did have Billy Ripken.

When Billy hit a homerun off of you, it was time to question your abilities to pitch in the majors.

Pedro Martinez has struck out 7 Reds in a row

Note to Adam Dunn: do not piss Pedro Martinez off.

I don't think he hit him today, but after that horrible first inning, Pedro was a man on the mission.

We really should make a "Junior Injury Day" pool.

 

I'm going with July 18th with Torn Bicep.

Don't piss off the Reds, or Adam Dunn will hit a home run in your face.

it's official, the Reds NEVER lose in April

 

Bad loss for the Mets, but Pedro pitched great and Beltran was awesome, so it wasn't a killer. Bullpen needs serious help

The White Sox game was very fun to watch. 1-0 Sox win over Cleveland with a great pitcher's duel between Buehrle and Westbrook. Westbrook pitched awesome, but not awesome enough to beat Buehrle's 8 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk, and almost no difficult plays for the defense.
