El Blanco Maybe it was a bad idea to put 3 Tigers on my fantasy team. Cabrera being my first pick and all.
Apr 4th, 2008 03:27 PM
GADZOOKS So the team to beat got swept by the Royals.

this will be an interesting season
Apr 4th, 2008 02:39 PM
El Blanco No, the Cubs hate young pitchers.
Apr 3rd, 2008 09:36 PM
sspadowsky Matt Clement is on the DL to start the season. Again.

I guess God really hates Matt Clement, and not just the Cubs.
Apr 3rd, 2008 09:17 PM
Colonel Flagg Gee, do the Phils need some pitching? Well, I guess a win is a win, even if it's ugly.

Good News - Flash Gordon's ERA is below 35. Film at 11.

GADZOOKS Hearing Cubs fans whine on the train back home yesterday was unbearable. Thank god they won today.

WhiteRat Kevin Slowey gave up 3 runs in 3 1/3 innings before leaving with a strained bicep as the Angels beat the Twins for the 3rd consecutive time.

Oh man I think this season is going to be a bit frustrating.
Apr 3rd, 2008 05:29 PM
Colonel Flagg Hamels pitches 8 innings of 5-hit, 1-run ball and loses. I hate being a Phillies fan.
Apr 3rd, 2008 01:37 PM
Pentegarn So how bout that Larry Bowa?

I'd put up the youtube link, only MLB already orderd youtube to take it down. Guess they don't like free publicity that millions of people would likely look at over the next few days until the next MLB meltdown happens.

Save this quote for 2012.

Brian Bannister throws 7 shut out innings of 3 hit ball against probably the most stacked offense in MLB. Even with Granderson out, the Tigers should be killing the ball.

layla17 I can't wait to see Liriano dominate this year. He's finally gonna get the spotlight.
Apr 1st, 2008 09:15 PM
Colonel Flagg And we have Santana v. 0.2 in Tom "Flash" Gordon, of the 135.000 ERA

Hey, at least he's still below the Mendoza line.
Apr 1st, 2008 05:40 PM
WhiteRat You can have him. He wanted way too much money and in the end didn't want to be here in Minnesota. Besides, we've got Santana V2.0 in Fransisco Liriano.

Our opening day starter was some guy named Santana. Maybe you've heard of him.

Baseball thread

Detroit lost today... to Kansas City?!

C'mon guys, you're better than that
Mar 31st, 2008 10:25 PM
WhiteRat Livan Hernandez pitched 7 decent innings as the Twins squeaked by the Angels 3-2. Not surprsingly, Torii Hunter received a standing ovation during the player announcements as well as his first at bat. His replacement Carlos Gomez (centerpiece of the Santana trade) looked good going 2-3 and showcased his speed with 2 stolen bases.

Several times they left runners on bases, one time leaving them loaded. This has been a problem for the Twins in the past. Hopefully they work out the kinks as 6 of the starting lineup are new to the team this year.

WhiteRat Anyone else think it's fitting to start a new baseball thread now that countdown to Opening Day has ended? At the very least maybe change the title of the thread?
Mar 31st, 2008 08:05 PM
Colonel Flagg Phillies start the season in traditional fashion - with a blowout loss.

Eh, they're only one and a half games out of first place, right?

Todays' weather is a bit extreme but normally around this time the weather is in the high 40's or low 50's. By the end of April the temp hits the 60's and sometimes the 70's, so it's really not that cold. Don't listen to the idiots on ESPN, they make it sound like it's sub-zero year round.

sspadowsky Cards were off to a good start. Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis (in the words of Crash Davis) "couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fuckin' boat." Ankiel doubled in two, and Pujols hit his first home run, but they might not count- it's raining like hell here, and the game has been delayed for almost two hours now.

Colonel Flagg Two words. Publicity Stunt.
Mar 30th, 2008 11:53 PM
Pentegarn I think having the first games that count be in Japan was a freaking abomination
Mar 30th, 2008 10:22 PM
Colonel Flagg Does anyone else find it strange that the Nats and the Bravos start the season by playing a single game homestand in DC? Even Boston and Oakland played two in Tokyo.

This is relevant because the Phil's Brett "bad boy" Myers is the opening day starter against those Nat's tomorrow, and Matt Chico gets the nod for Washington. Sidebar - Myers was the opening day starter last year, yet due to the Phil's pitching woes (Tom Gordon going down and out), ended up as the closer in the bullpen. No worries; Brad Lidge looks like he is at least as durable as Flash.

WhiteRat Tomorrow the Twins start the 2008 season against the Anahiem Angels of Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim of California. Fatboy Livan Hernandez gets the opening nod for the Twins while hippy haired Jerad Weaver starts for the confused angels. The Metrodump will be rocking it's teflon roof off!

Who's on first for your respective teams?

EDIT: The start of the season also means that the Twins have only 2 more seasons left to play in the ToiletDome before moving into this beauty in 2010:
