IGT 4/1/2013: SDP @ NYM -- 52nd Season's the Charm

[G-Fafif]

G-Fafif will have the ball to open the '13 season... you don't mess with a winning streak.

While I'm still hot...

chances we remember/keep this thread through the offseason?

chances it's already 52 pages long?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I got no problem with this. DO WHAT HAS TO BE DONE.

[Ceetar]

projected lineup? Does Santana get the start, or Dickey?

[bmfc1]

Johan's in extended spring training but he'll be ready when they need a 5th starter.

no way, if Johan doesn't start game 1, he starts game 2.

[bmfc1]

I hope you're right Ceetar and he's healthy.

Whatever it was, I'm guessing that one of these guys did it.

Subplot: Battle between reigning and former Gold Glove/Silver Slugger third basemen. David Wright comes out of the winter super well-compensated but according to the votes of National League coaches and managers, he's no Chase Headley.

[Edgy MD]

David still gets the WBC nod.

How did Head add 100 points to his slugging percentage last year? Oprah wants to know.

in _San Diego_!

14.7% HR/FB rate is twice the MLB average. and more than 5x higher than the 2.8 he put up in 2011.

He's a prime sell-high candidate. strikeouts rose too.

[batmagadanleadoff]

Did somebody say Headley?

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Volquez will start for SD, no?

[Edgy MD]

And maybe Jon Knees for the Mets.

[G-Fafif]

Nieuwy in center looking like a longer shot. And Murphy might want to get a few swings in already yet, lest Martino look deep into his eyes and see them burn with mischief.

[Fman99]

C'mon, April, you tease, get your sweet tits in here.

[Edgy MD]

Headley scratched from series.

"Hanley" autocorrected to "Headley"

[Ceetar]

Let's get going already!

[ashie62]

Bring it on Padre...

[Fman99]

Officially not working on Monday, so I can get some errands done in the AM and watch the game after lunch.

Is the kid a member here yet?
