MLB Season Opener Thread

Recommended Posts

So the Twins gave Joe Nathan a four year, $47 million contract? That's absurd for any team, especially a small market one bitching about payroll. Why didn't they use that money for Santana and trade Nathan for prospects? Pat Neshek could be the closer tomorrow and that team wouldn't miss a beat. What a fall this team has quickly taken since Bill Smith took over as GM.

I just got done watching game 2.

 

Rich Harden looked damn good today. In 6.0 innings of work he had 9 strike outs, 1 ER, and a 1.0 WHIP. Harden is a great pitcher. I really hope he stays healthy.

 

Emil Brown also got some redeption today from losing yesterday's game with a 3 run jack off of Lester.

 

Boston fans should be concerned about the starting pitching situation.

Concerned, maybe, but Beckett is fine and i'm of the mind that he used this "Back spasm" crap to avoid the Japan trip altogether. Dice-K is probably going to win 15-17 games, Lester will most definitely be better that he was today...I mean this IS March. Wakefield is good for 13-16 wins. Colon and Buchholz are the #5 possibilities and whatever they contribute is bonus.

I just saw that the Red Sox are playing the Dodgers right now in a spring training game. Did that happen in 2004 when the Yankees played the Rays overseas? As in they played a couple regular season games, went back to exhibitions, and then resumed regular season play when the other 28 teams started up? I know Boston and Oakland don't play again until Tuesday.

That's so awesome.

And that happened! Apparently it was an S.

 

He's number 15... One yellow light and one blue light... Pitch comes along, and that happened!
