[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm all jacked up.

NL Gay Dames

Cardinals (Carpenter) @ Cincy (Harang)

Dodgers (Padilla ... really?) @ Pittsburgh (Duke, batting 8th)

Rox (Jimenez) @ Milwaukee (Gallardo)

4pm
Cubs (Zambrano) @ Atlanta (Lowe)

5pm
Pods (Garland) @ Dbaggs (Haren)

7pm
Giants (Lincecum) @ Houston (Oswalt)

Rox (Jimenez) @ Milwaukee (Gallardo) - that's a matchup I would like to see.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

-- Agreed with Irish. Them boys can sling.

-- I could have sworn that Oswalt was hurt.

-- Is it possible the Doyers are lining up Billingsley or Kershaw for a home opener?

After the Mets, I'll be looking for an online stream of Verlander v. Greinke in Kansas City. Watching the MLB Network right now with new analyst John Smoltz doing a breakdown of the matchup. First I've seen of Smoltz as an analyst, and he's outstanding. Comfortable on camera, did his homework, avoids silly jockisms, and of course knows a couple of things about pitching.

Unlike Nomar last night , he practically used every cliche in the book. Not that I expect anything else form ex-players but from what you are saying about Smoltz then I look forward to seeing him. What is his roll on MLB, studio guy or in game analyst?

[Guest OlerudOwned]

Studio dude.

Less time for travelin' means more time for golfin'.

I have the Nationals pre-game on until Extra Innings kicks in at 1... it's like a Phillies home game in DC. Absolutely pathetic showing by Nationals fans. Edgy and Vladius notwithstanding, this is an awful sports town. Perhaps the locals are out buying McNabb jerseys.

Ryan Zimmerman doubles home Nyjer please Morgan to give the Nats a 1-0 lead on first ballot hall of famer and "difference-maker" Roy Halladay.

I'm going to be terribly amusing when Cliff Lee has a better season than him.

Even more so when Kyle Drabek wins ROTY in 2011.

[Guest Edgy DC]

John Lannan just imploded in Washington on Harry Kalas Memorial Opening Day.

Lannan dominates the Mets but can't do anything with the Phils, despite their lefty-heavy lineup.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

The Bucs and Dodgers are tied at 2.

I pointed out that the Pirates are batting Duke 8th and SS Ronny Cedeno 9th. Last time around Duke bunted with 2 on and one out and reached on an error, everyone safe. Then Cedeno hit into a 1-2-3 DP.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Padilla's been cruising for the most part in Pittsburgh. If he just stopped letting up homers to supersoph Garrett Jones-- 2 ABs, 2 HRs, 3 RBI-- he'd be fine, and winning.

As it stands, it's 3-2, Pittsburgh Dukes.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Pirates winning big now, thanks in part to a pinch-hit bases loaded double from Ryan F. Church.

Phils hanging on to an 11-1 lead in DC

[Frayed Knot]

Toronto OD starter in the post-Halladay era, Shaun Marcum, had a 3-zip lead and was working on a no-no thru 6.1 -- and then promptly went BB-1B-3RHR (Nelson Cruz) and the game was tied.
Toronto re-took the lead 4-3 and are trying to close it in the 9th with Jason Fraser on the mound.

[Guest attgig]

wow!

jason heyward is beast.

[Guest OlerudOwned]

I am shitting bricks over the idea of Jayson Heyward being a Brave forever.

How would you feel about six years as a Brave, then a FA signing by the Yanks?

[Frayed Knot]

Carlos Zambrano exits after giving up 8 runs while getting 4 outs (and committing an error)


Texas comes back to win the game off Toronto on a game-winning hit by Gerald Salatalamacacahaia

[Benjamin Grimm]

Six years from now the Yankees will have moved to Salt Lake City, and we won't care about them at all anymore.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Caught the end of that Pirates game in bonus coverage...

I really need to make it a priority to catch a game at PNC, don't I? It looks glorious on teevee.

[Guest Edgy DC]

wow!

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Zambrano 8 earned runs 1.1 ip. It I were a Cub fan I'd be outraged; they had a 3-run top of the first!

Yes, you really do. Don't forget your Primanti Bros. sandwich as you settle back into a surprisingly-affordable great seat on the first base side.

[TransMonk]

Ex-Met Carlos Gomez went 4 for 5 with a HR in Milwaukee's loss to Colorado.

[TransMonk]

Also, JJ Putz pitches a scoreless 8th for the victorious White Sox.

I watched baseball all evening, good portions of the Astros/Giants tilt on ESPN2 and then the first few innings of Twins/Angels after that. So great just to watch games that count -- and having teams in 3 different fantasy baseball leagues gives me more reason to want to watch more games.

Thinking of getting the MLB Extra Innings package for 2010.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If you want to watch that much baseball, you might as well get it.
