NoCalMike Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 The upper deck will be opened for the playoffs if they make it. Actually they'll have to untarp everything come August when the Raiders play their first preseason game. Rain is in the forecast for both Monday and Tuesday which creates a big problem. It is the Yankees only trip to Oakland all year and typically there is an off day the first week of the season but the A's don't have one this year and have to travel to Seattle immediately following Wednesday night's game (A night game on a getaway day?) so they have no chance for a make up date. So warning to Yankee fans both Monday and Tuesday's game might go well into the morning EST hours as they will probably play as long as they have to to get official games in. Well I am somewhat happy to hear this as I have class on Monday/Tuesday so the most I can see of these games is the last inning or so, but if the rain delays the game(s) at least an hour, then I will be seeing a good portion of them. Wednesday however, I will be home for the entire game.
Guest Brian Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 After the way the Sox dissed Frank Thomas, I joining you north-siders.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Cleveland's pen looks awesome! Back-to-back walks to lead off the last three innings.
The Czech Republic Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Um, is there rain in the forecast for, like, y'know, every fucking place in North America?
CanadianGuitarist Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Um, is there rain in the forecast for, like, y'know, every fucking place in North America? Snow in Toronto's for tomorrow.....It could rain blood for all I care, it's not going to ruin my first Jays game or first ever opening day.
The Czech Republic Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Okay, so apparently this is what I've got to choose from today. 1 p.m. games: Red Sox @ Rangers on ESPN2 Cubs @ Reds on WGN Nationals @ Mets on ESPN Pirates @ Brewers on FSN 3 p.m. Braves @ Dodgers on ESPN 6 p.m. Giants @ Padres on ESPN2 9 p.m. Yankees @ A's on ESPN2 So that's seven games for me. The rest are all local coverage, I guess.
Bruiser Chong Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Stupid class. Looks like I'll have to catch the last fragments of the Reds/Cubs on WGN Radio or something, since I don't get out of class until 4 and then I have to head over to the other campus right after to take an exam.
Failed Bridge Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 It could rain blood for all I care, it's not going to ruin my first Jays game or first ever opening day. If it rained blood then the game would only be more enjoyable.
The Czech Republic Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Dickie V on the Cubs: "They have to get back healthy Prior Wood."
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 We start the year where we ended last season, #1... Brandon McCarthy needs to be a starter by June.
Guest Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I get MLB Extra Innings until the NHL season's over. That's what the cable company said, so now I don't have to watch ESPN's broadcasts.
naiwf Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 So the Mets new network decided they'd just stop showing the game after the 2nd inning. Brilliant!
Hawk 34 Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Bush and Selig on the same field, I wonder who is more hated.
naiwf Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Bush and Selig on the same field, I wonder who is more hated. Most people don't hate Bud. That's a no contest.
The Czech Republic Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Pierre triples, Walker doubles, Lee walks, Ramirez singles. It's all downhill from here. EDIT: Sac fly for Jones, error on Dunn, 2-0 Murton is playing great at the plate and in left, hitting a 3-run homer and robbing Kearns of a game-tying GS. Glad we picked him up. We'll get more out of him than Nomar. Who knew?
Cheech Tremendous Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Bush and Selig on the same field, I wonder who is more hated. Most people don't hate Bud. That's a no contest. That's news to me.
naiwf Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Bush and Selig on the same field, I wonder who is more hated. Most people don't hate Bud. That's a no contest. That's news to me. Ask a non baseball fan (that's what at least 60% of the country?) what they think about Bud Selig, and watch their faces contort as they have no fucking clue who you're talking about. Ask your average American what they think about Dubya, and just enjoy the show one way or the other.
USC Wuz Robbed! Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Only 40% of the country is a baseball fan?

Ask your average American what they think about Dubya, and just enjoy the show one way or the other. I think the question is who is more hated within the ballpark at that moment, Bush or Selig, not in a nationwide poll. Good to see Zambrano has apparently settled down, though I'm bothered by the fact that Tony Womack has reached base against him twice so far!

And who the hell cares who is disliked more? They are both dicks.
naiwf Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Seriously though, what's there to hate about Bud Selig? Last time I checked he didn't start any unnecessary wars, create panic and confusion in the populace, lead America to become more hated than ever, cut jobs, healthcare and everything else that Bush has done. Baseball's a fucking game. Ooh, he let the All-Star game end in a tie one year. Let's get 'im!

Baseball's a fucking game. Ooh, he let the All-Star game end in a tie one year. Let's get 'im! Can we leave the politics in the other thread? No one cares what Bush did right now. He threw out a pitch, that is his full extent. Baseball fans do not like Selig, this is a baseball thread about baseball opening week. Therefore, the feelings on Selig are revelent to this thread and folder while the feelings are Dubya are moot. This Cubs game is getting interesting. Cubs have went cold after that first inning while the Reds are heating up. O's are down 1-0 to the Rays with miserable weather all over.
naiwf Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Baseball fans do not like Selig, this is a baseball thread about baseball opening week. Therefore, the feelings on Selig are revelent to this thread and folder. Again, I'll ask what is there to hate about Bud Selig?
Cartman Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 Opening day...trying not to get all too excited about the Sox already being just 1 game and all. That said I love their lineup 1-7 and Schilling looks GOOD right now hitting 95mph in the 4th.
CanadianChris Posted April 3, 2006 Report Posted April 3, 2006 I cannot believe there isn't a single televised game for me to watch on Opening Day. This sucks.
