Like with everything else, Ichiro is the exception to the rule. Most position players switch down from numbers higher than 49 or so once they’re something more then September callups.
Let’s just say that what resulted was not pretty…I’m blaming KFC specifically because I had it at an independent restaurant on the way back (because I’m a sucker and a slow learner), and was quite fine after.
Comment: Does it terrify anyone else that Gerald Laird is shaped like a giant potato?
Matthew: He’s got five tools! He can be sliced, diced, frenched, julienned and cubed!
We’d assumed most of the spring that Kotchman would be the No. 3 hitter against righties, Gutierrez against lefties. And that’s what — Wakamatsu’s weekend comments notwithstanding — it appears it will be to start the season.
Being in the Giants market, I don't get the ESPN2 Feed.
I get ESPNews instead on ESPN2. (NO JOE MORGAN!!!) For those in the Bay Area, you can watch the Giants-Astros game on Comcast Sportsnet, channel 720 or 40.
I can import them fine, but I am having trouble editing them and then creating the gif. All I need to know is the tools you use and then I can work it from there.

It’s so sad that we can’t have our home opener here today. The weather is sooooo nice.

You can't have earthquake weather every day

Was there a broken bat in the game last night?
If not, Skip Schumaker and Harang just provided the first of the season.

Yes there was
On the last play! To Beltre!
Jeff Sullivan - April 5, 2010
Oh yea I remember that now.

Yep. HD is working fine. Just no DVR functionality.

Just like the last couple years, I think, which is nice
now they just need to show the damn HD feeds

How many former Mariners are starting today?
I felt awful for Royals fans when I saw Willie Boom Boom and Yuni in their starting line up.
bluemax - April 5, 2010
I still can't believe the Royals found a way to start BOTH Yuni and Bloomquist ahead of Aviles.
marc w - April 5, 2010
Yeah I don't get it either
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Clement leading off the next inning for the Pirates!

That's when the 2010 MLB season REALLY begins.

Clement already out
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Wait no!
He got a hit! A single! Pirates rallying!

Rick Sutcliffe is surprisingly candid about intentionally beaning replacement players

Yay Blue Jays!

Iwamura's glove is made out of alligator skin?
Weird. Pirates load the bases with no one out and get 0 runs, so sad.

I had no idea Rolen could hit a ball that hard

Why couldn't he do that while he was playing for the Cards? :-(

Meh.
No special rooting interest in that matchup.

Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
Carlos Gomez batting 2nd? Really?

Great play by Asdrubal

I'm disappointed the FSN feed for the Rangers game is not in HD.

Ryan Howard is going to hit the first grand slam of the season.
And have the first two-homer game of the season.

I didn't say it was going to be today, though.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Garrett Jones already has two today
edddgar - April 5, 2010
And Pujols just went deep for the 2nd time.
Maybe he can have the third two-homer game of the season.

More accurately, he's playing again.
He only played like ten games in AAA last year, no MLB time.

Why is Feldman starting opening day?
drm1125 - April 5, 2010
If he keeps pitching like this, I hope he starts every game.
Floyd Gondoli - April 5, 2010
He knows how to win ballgames!
Bearskin Rugburn - April 5, 2010
Could be worse
like Vicente Padilla!
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Harden had a bad spring, and the AL West has decided that spring training stats matter a lot
OlSalty - April 5, 2010
So... the new gameday is pretty nice.
But I don’t see a way to ‘replay’ finished at-bats.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 5, 2010
I love that there is now a nasty factor as part of the pFX system.
I have no idea what it means, and I sincerely hope it is just a random number assigned to each pitch.
Bearskin Rugburn - April 5, 2010
Beluga Tits sighting!
Teej - April 5, 2010
And he walks the first batter he faces

Batista writes books you know......
Yeah, I’ve heard.
Limerickx - April 5, 2010

Jeff Sullivan - April 5, 2010
Yup.
Opening Day Starter John Lannan didn’t last very long
Teej - April 5, 2010
Call up Strasburg!

I think Batista cancels out Strasburg

Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Holy shit!
To the Nationals game!
Goose - April 5, 2010
This shit is hilarious to me
Poochie - April 5, 2010
At least he got Roy Halladay out
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
And only Roy Halladay.
Bullpen’s active again!
Teej - April 5, 2010
That might of been the most hilarious dive and miss I have ever seen.

I wish we had Willie Harris :I(
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Willie Harris is an entertainer.

Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Based on a sample size of five games, I suspect that steroid use in baseball is running rampant once again

So, any bets on what number Adam Moore will be wearing today?
I assume he’s going to drop down from 50 now that he’s a real major leaguer.
Corco - April 5, 2010
I have been dying to find out
If it still is 50 that’s retarded,
Snowman1025 - April 5, 2010
Or he likes the number 50
Corco - April 5, 2010
I thought he's always been #50
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Same here.
50 isn’t that high.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Even in the minors?
Corco - April 5, 2010
Any bets on what number Ichiro! will be wearing today?
I assume he’s going to drop down from 51 now that he’s a real major leaguer.
harkening - April 5, 2010
Adam Moore will be wearing #10 according to the updated Mariners.com roster
Fuck you.
Corco - April 5, 2010
Gah!
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
And Corco wins!
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Or phrased differently
Like with everything else, Ichiro is the exception to the rule. Most position players switch down from numbers higher than 49 or so once they’re something more then September callups.
Corco - April 5, 2010
I'd even lower that to 40
Corco - April 5, 2010
But that would be too low- I can think of many 40+ position players off the top of my head
Corco - April 5, 2010
Is it my computer, or is MLB.tv having fits of really bad choppiness?

Don't wanna hit into a DP
Poochie - April 5, 2010
The White Sox DH is Mark Kotsay
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
The Mariners DH is Griffey
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Mark Kotsay has not had an average wOBA since 2005
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Mark Kotsay is a defense first player
Poochie - April 5, 2010
How ironic!
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Don't ya think!!
Poochie - April 5, 2010
And don't forget Mike Sweeney.
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
I'd rather have 9 Kotsays than 9 Griffeys in my starting lineup
but as a DH Griffey is way better
Corco - April 5, 2010
Nine Griffeys would be the worst baseball team ever.
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
Nine Yunis?
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Way better defensively
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Would amazingly be a defensive upgrade
Corco - April 5, 2010
I don't think it could even last a whole game
Catcher Griffey couldn’t last more than an inning or two, so you’d have to rotate folks around.
Corco - April 5, 2010
Nine Ben Sheets?
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
The would pitch better
Poochie - April 5, 2010
And do everything else so much worse
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Can't win without pitching
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Ben Sheets is like the least athletic baseball player ever
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
David Wells?
Poochie - April 5, 2010
I think the left handed throws from SS would be a problem
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Nine Felixs?
Coach Owens - April 5, 2010
Would be sex on a field
Corco - April 5, 2010
Carlos Silva?
Corco - April 5, 2010
Modern day Bartolo Colon?

Poochie - April 5, 2010
I like where this is going
OlSalty - April 5, 2010
Would instantly end up on the disabled list requiring the team to forefit their games
Which would have the same record but be way better to watch then nine Griffeys
Corco - April 5, 2010
How the hell did Rick Sutcliffe get hired.
If it wasn’t the Cardinals I don’t think I could bear watching
Poochie - April 5, 2010
So Colby Rasmus is a star
Poochie - April 5, 2010

Jeff Sullivan - April 5, 2010

I've seen at least two today.
Teej - April 5, 2010
That's just the ump feeling sorry for him.
Coach Owens - April 5, 2010
Couldn't even throw the IBB pitch on target
Poochie - April 5, 2010
I guess he's trying to keep Pudge on his toes
the other side - April 5, 2010
He got Halladay out again!
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Matt LaPorta sucks d
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I'm not sure what this means!
Poochie - April 5, 2010
LL now has auto-censor
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Judging by his face he's at least 45, so his best days are definitely behind him.
Teej - April 5, 2010
I see the Brewers plan to make Jim Edmonds their right fielder has gone off without a hitch
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Every Phillies starter has a hit
including Halladay. This seems like it’s going well for the Nationals
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
They're not a laughing stock anymore!
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Pujols is on pace for at least 300 home runs.

Nope. Broke.
royalcurve - April 5, 2010
Just take a dirty old shirt and write "Bed-Hard" on the back
tootthekazoo - April 5, 2010
I already have a homemade Bedard shirt.
Or a shirt with Bedard written on it in Sharpie. The shirt itself is not homemade.
royalcurve - April 5, 2010
Bed-Hard made me snort.
section331 - April 5, 2010
Sometimes I put on my shirt inside out too
It’s annoying
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Sounds crazy
but try dropping a thin slice of apple into a Bombay G&T. Reacts with the botanicals and is kind of amazing.
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Usually I add St Germain elderflower liqueur, but I will try the apple!
royalcurve - April 5, 2010
Will seem overly pine-y at first but give it a few sips
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Hmmm. Intriguing.
I’m going to assume it works with other gins, as the botanicals are mostly the same.
marc w - April 5, 2010
I thought that was some MD 20 20
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Yes, except even better
Teej - April 5, 2010
Gets you real drunk.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Good things
I like the twist on the LL tradition. (And quality gin is amazingly tasty).

Jeff Clement is being intentionally walked
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
And rightly so.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
why
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Mark Buehrle just made an insane play
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I love Mark Buehrle.
I want him to be a Mariner.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
I hate Mark Buehrle
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I think we have a problem Fogel.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
No I think you have a problem
Mark Buehrle is boring as all hell
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I don't think throwing a perfect game is boring.
Just saying.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Mark Buehrle is to Jarrod Washburn as a person is to the exact same person
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Plus a perfect game.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Jarrod Washburn once threw a one hitter
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I was there!
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Also Mark Buehrle doesn't look like a chipmunk.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
He looks like a guy who breeds chipmunks.
Teej - April 5, 2010
Does he?
I’ve never seen a chipmunk breeder.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Neither have I but Teej is so right
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
I quick GIS didn't return a picture of a chipmunk breeder.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
He would live in the woods, smile awkwardly and have terrible facial hair.
Teej - April 5, 2010
Comparing those two is just so wrong.
Sec 108 - April 5, 2010
How is a problem Fogel any different from a regular one?
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
It comes from Fogel.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
.
msb - April 5, 2010
Fantastic
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
I did this in softball once.
But I was playing SS and this is way more impressive because of the angle.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Nice, I wanted to see it from the description that Bill Simmons gave.
It was a line drive that caromed off his foot and then went towards the 1b line, correct?
seattle_since_81 - April 5, 2010
Yep.
marc w - April 5, 2010
Yep
Drilled him in the foot and this was what happened right after. Heads up play.
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
#1 on top ten plays I bet.
That was a great heads up play!
seattle_since_81 - April 5, 2010
I didn't realize he tossed it between his legs at the time
That’s incredible.
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
Holy shit! That's insane.
joof - April 5, 2010
Woah
royalcurve - April 5, 2010
That is amazing
tootthekazoo - April 5, 2010
Aaaaaand the 2010 AL pitcher GG is decided
Bearskin Rugburn - April 5, 2010
I just can't get tired of seeing this play.
Amazing.

I just popped a stiffie when I heard the news.
Robert - April 5, 2010
I heard that might happen...
There is a picture contained herein…..
section331 - April 5, 2010
I read that you can supposedly get Poutine at any KFC in America
bluemax - April 5, 2010
I read that we never landed on the moon.
the other side - April 5, 2010
You can get it at KFC's in Canada
But I would not recommend eating it. :p
section331 - April 5, 2010
Secret menu!
Its the KFC equivalent of Animal Style!
bluemax - April 5, 2010
I had it once while traveling to Edmonton
Let’s just say that what resulted was not pretty…I’m blaming KFC specifically because I had it at an independent restaurant on the way back (because I’m a sucker and a slow learner), and was quite fine after.
section331 - April 5, 2010
KFC does not have cheese curd.
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
Bwahaha Dodgers
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Cedeno singles on a pop up
the other side - April 5, 2010
Marcum has a no hitter through six.
It’s always fun listening to Josh Lewin in agony.
houseofprime - April 5, 2010 via mobile
His first start since 2008!
bluemax - April 5, 2010
COME ON BLUE JAYS!
Do something right for once.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Would suck if he gets it but misses out on the perfect game due to the error.
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Yeah it really would.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Oh wait but he beaned Guerrero too, so...
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Oh well thank god.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
That was SWEET!
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
He hit a batter too.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
And now a walk
Wow, this guy sucks.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Just walked someone
So at least its not the error that cost him.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Aaand there it goes.
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Wow Buerhle just made an amazing play
Poochie - April 5, 2010
He's not even on the field!
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Let's ask Poochie
Poochie - April 5, 2010
All right
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Sure looked like he was on the field to me
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Word Poochdogg
Poochie - April 5, 2010
I get it it's a play on words
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
He says no.
Robert - April 5, 2010
Dodgers getting whupped
8-2 Pirates.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
I love the Pirates, Andrew McCutchen is so badass.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Their stadium is badass
Their team not so much.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
They have some cool players.
McCutchen is amazing; Jones and Iwamura are fun…
Alright that’s it.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Jeff Clement
Dewey N - April 5, 2010
Clement is a fag.
Kirk - April 5, 2010
Plus they have Ronny Cedeno and Lastings Milledge.
Is there a more hilarious team in baseball?
the other side - April 5, 2010
Well the Nationals are coming off their second straight 100 loss season and are losing by 10.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Roy Halladay....
However, touche..
the other side - April 5, 2010
And their opening day starter is Lannan.
And Willie Fucking Harris is their #2 hitter.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
They had a 20 minute pre-game ceremony congratulating their only good player
Zimmerman on winning both a gold glove and silver slugger award last year.

Wouldn't that be a game that we care about?

No more
Vlad gets a hit.

MOTHERFUCKER
OlSalty - April 5, 2010

Welcome back, Baseball.
ThundaPC - April 5, 2010
The no-hit was gone, they play in the AL east, whats the point of winning?
the other side - April 5, 2010
The hopes and dreams of a nation?
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Over rated, its Canada who really cares?
the other side - April 5, 2010
White people with silly accents care
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Bollocks.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Massive hairy bollocks.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Career .394 batting average?
Uh… I don’t think so.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Soriano batting sixth, Soto batting eighth.
Two years ago this would have convinced me that the Cubs’ lineup must be incredible.
katal - April 5, 2010
Aw fuckballs
Tied up
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
Reds pull one back on ESPN
6-4 Cards, bottom 8.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Nelson Cruz with a 3-run homer, apparently
Did that just happen? I’m on MLBN, and they’re switching around a LOT….
section331 - April 5, 2010
Yes
Watching on MLB.TV. The Rangers idiot announcers just went crazy.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Yes it did :(
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Yep.
ThundaPC - April 5, 2010
Boo to that.
I see the Nationals are still not good…
section331 - April 5, 2010
Not good is kind
The Orioles are not good, the Nationals are a fucking FEMA disaster area.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Conveniently located!
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Yeah well
No one in our division truly sucks this year (although the As are trying their best to do so with their demotions of random players).
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
A's have a pretty good chance of winning the division IMO, at least as good as the Angels.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
No politics.
Robert - April 5, 2010
That's not political
Its a DC joke. Its like SI wrote in last year’s MLB preview issue that “The Nationals are in need of a bailout.”
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
The sun is shining in Oakland.
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
Good
Let’s keep it that way.
section331 - April 5, 2010
But not on the A's.
Not on this day.
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Nope. Felix is going to make them look silly.
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
Lollipops and rainbows are sure to follow.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
It's getting close to that time, isn't it?
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
ManRam with a 2 run single
Dodgers trail 8-4 now.
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Albert Pujols is on pace to break the all-time homerun record.
All while smashing all records held by Bonds, Williams and DiMaggio.
katal - April 5, 2010
Except for the consecutive hits thing
Only Ichiro really has a chance at that one.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Nope!
As I type this he has a shot.
katal - April 5, 2010
Nobody has a chance at that one.
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
True
But Ichiro is the only player I can ever envision coming at all close.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
When you're talking 2 in a million vs 1 in a million, I wouldn't count that as close.
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
It's 100% more!
wilsonpdx - April 5, 2010
Ichiro would be the right player
but the odds are so slim that it’s not going to be him.
Two Rs and Two Ls - April 5, 2010
Good to see Willie Bloomquist batting 6th in a major league lineup
Corco - April 5, 2010
When did the Royals trade him?
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
I need to type faster.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
He's not with the Royals anymore?
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
He should produce well
No way to pitch around Willie with our favorite short stop right behind him.
the other side - April 5, 2010
If any batting order has ever been created for Jose Guillen to rebuild his value by seeing excellent pitches
It’s that one
Corco - April 5, 2010
MLB Networks seems to think I want to hear Mitch Williams say things
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010

Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile

Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Woooooooo!
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Current Pirates pitcher is from Bellevue
bluemax - April 5, 2010
And Matt Kemp just missed a 2 run homer
bluemax - April 5, 2010
That asshole.
katal - April 5, 2010
My hometown produces quality
Unless the guy in question sucks, in which case he’s actually from Redmond.
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Well he was a slight breeze away from giving up a 2 run homer
bluemax - April 5, 2010
At least he's not an arrogant asshole.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Neftali Feliz is overrated
Had to be said
bluemax - April 5, 2010

4-3 Jays.

skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Adam Lind is fucking good out of nowhere.
What are the odds the BJs trade him?
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Teehee.
katal - April 5, 2010
Since last year I mean.
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
They just signed him to an extension
Potentially under club control through 2016.
OlSalty - April 5, 2010
So he'll be gone before they're good again?
lailaihei - April 5, 2010
Jay Bruce is not Ichiro.
katal - April 5, 2010
Since when?
the other side - April 5, 2010
Since he failed at preventing a grand slam just now.
katal - April 5, 2010
Ichiro prevents grand slams now?
That could be useful
the other side - April 5, 2010
You see
Some times he makes pretty spectacular catches in right field.
katal - April 5, 2010
Oh, and use punctuation at the end of your sentence.
katal - April 5, 2010
Those Molinas can hit!
katal - April 5, 2010
That is the pussiest grad slam I have ever seen
Poochie - April 5, 2010
Is a Grand Slam ever really that pussy?
InSpokane - April 5, 2010
Still, I've been waiting all off-season to use this phrase

Oh Raul
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010
Ibanez would make some amazing catches so I don't think this is an entirely fair representation of him
Robert - April 5, 2010
Of course it isn't
But in honor of his first error of the year.
skywaker9 - April 5, 2010

Haven't seen that one yet
would probably have to go all the way to BevMo for it.

Ah, that's too bad. If I knew how to ship a bottle down I'd totally do it. It'd be worth it to help someone out with trying a new
BrettJMiller - April 5, 2010
I'm sure I could find it
it would just require more effort than going to the grocery store.

You can ship legally if you declare it as glassware or collectibles
try FedEx or UPS.

Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
3 Run Bomb in his first AB.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Went yard in his first AB.
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
Thinking a home run.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
3-run bomb.
Braves up 6-3 over the Cubs.
ThundaPC - April 5, 2010
I didn't see it did he hit it well?
the other side - April 5, 2010
Crushed
Teej - April 5, 2010
Clobbered it.
ThundaPC - April 5, 2010
Destroyed
BrettJMiller - April 5, 2010
Dammit now I want to see it.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
It just might be on sportscenter.
the other side - April 5, 2010
I imagine there'll be a video of it on mlb.com as well.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Yes. He's clearly made of Jesus.
BrettJMiller - April 5, 2010
Matthew posted this in the wrong place so I can't rec it, unfortunately.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Jason Heyward is here.
Teej - April 5, 2010
Sit down, Hamilton
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Why would you walk Vlad at this stage in his career?
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Double play?
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
My understanding is that you don't put the winning run on base.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
I know.
I’m just reaching for some type of reasoning.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Reasoning has now gone out the door.
I hate the Rangers.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
This game is now very interesting.

Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Nelson Cruz happened.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Somebody set up us the bomb.
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
Well my Heyward Challenge could not have gone any worse.
Robert - April 5, 2010
Fuck you, Toronto.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
First Nelson Cruz hits an Arlington home run, and then he bloops a double.
I’m beginning to hate him with a passion.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
The Rangers game doesn't surprise me one bit.
ThundaPC - April 5, 2010
Fuck. You. Texas.
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
GOD DAMN IT
TEXAS IS GOING TO BE SO ANNOYING
BrettJMiller - April 5, 2010

OlSalty - April 5, 2010
This is gonna end well.....
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
GTE!!!
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
A lot of Toronto fans are writing off the League-Morrow deal right now.
Let’s see how the season plays out.
harkening - April 5, 2010
Isn't he starting for them?
the other side - April 5, 2010
Yes.
But League was likely their closer, and looking at Fraser… It’s a short-term judgment thing.
harkening - April 5, 2010
Oh I see.
the other side - April 5, 2010
Heck.
In my mind I wanted the team to draft Jason Heyward in the first round of the 2007 draft.
Nope. Turns out I wanted Matt Dominguez. Turns out there’s a reason Jack and Tony never call me.
katal - April 5, 2010
No, you were right.
Matthew started it, though.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Yes!
Thanks for the save there.
katal - April 5, 2010
Wait we took Aumont over Heyward?
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
Bavasi era!
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
To be fair, a bunch of other teams passed over Heyward.
Just like Lincecum.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
I noticed but god dammit.
Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
And a lot of teams didn't really get a chance to see him swing.
In high school he was intentionally walked like three times a game. Probably because he was 27.
Teej - April 5, 2010
I'm much more upset we passed Nick Hagadone for Matt Mangini when Hagadone was from Washington
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
I love how the Bavasi era brought lots of local players, they just passed on all the ones who actually had talent
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010

See what we’re missing?
the other side - April 5, 2010
He's the power bat this offense is missing.
Trade that always injured Bedard, and that headcase Bradley for him.

Ahahahaha.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
1.1 IP
Fine opening day start.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
They can always bring in Carlos Silva for some long relief.
the other side - April 5, 2010
But then who would they use
on Friday as their 5th starter?
harkening - April 5, 2010
Wait, they made Silva their fifth starter?
the other side - April 5, 2010
Yes
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Someone better than Carlos Silva
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
They fixed him though.

seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Oh, sorry
he actually did record four outs, not three, you’re right, Prof
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
I'm not sure what his smell factor was.
But his WPA was -.607. Go Cubs!
harkening - April 5, 2010
Did he ever!
BrianL - April 5, 2010
In his defense, he was hosed with some terrible luck before Heyward's bomb.
A flurry of bloops that should have been caught and a weakly hit grounder finding a hole. But then, as he always does, he imploded.
Teej - April 5, 2010

Scruffy Lefty - April 5, 2010
We're just not going to have an offensive line to speak of next year.

I've revised my projection.
Matt Hasselbeck will be dead at the conclusion of the first offensive snap of the season.
BrianL - April 5, 2010
If the Rams draft Suh, I can honestly see Matt being subsequently killed.
katal - April 5, 2010
It's looking more like they are drafting Bradford.
They released Bulger today.
seattle_since_81 - April 5, 2010
They did? Ha!

ESPN says Calos Silva played with Boston and Seattle "for the last couple of years."
And that the Cubs were able to “dump” Milton Bradley onto us. Bah.
katal - April 5, 2010
Did they really say Boston?
Eyebrows - April 5, 2010 via mobile
I replayed it a couple times, and it sounds like they said "Carlos Silva, who's been a Boston Seattle for the last couple years."
Maybe he meant “who’s been lost in Seattle”…?
katal - April 5, 2010
a bust in Seattle?
Teej - April 5, 2010
Maybe! Thanks.
katal - April 5, 2010
That's how I heard it.
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
That sounds most likely
but it wouldn’t surprise me if they did say Boston. Some kind of Freudian slip.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Jon Buck (I think that's who it was?) at least acknowledged Silva was a bust in Seattle.
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
Remember the time that Buck told us that Jon Lester was the best pitcher in the AL
while down 7-0 in the third inning of a playoff game against Tampa?
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
I'm going out on a limb here, but
I wish we hadn’t traded Derek Lowe. It would have been nice to see him anchor our rotation over the last decade or so.
katal - April 5, 2010
Really think Boras would have let him stay here at free agency?

I wonder what the strikeout # was
Trenchtown - April 5, 2010
That line was picked because Davis had 50+ homers and 300+ K's.

He is from GA – There could be 50 people in that group next to his parents.

Neither did I.
But if Ramirez saw it while running to second base, you would think the umpires could spot it.
Bad call.

He's right
No catch

Wow and the Braves get away with it.

I'm a Padres fan (in distant 2nd behind the M's) so it's quite whelming
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Jason carry on my Heyward son
Trenchtown - April 5, 2010
Boomer?
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
I'm rooting for the Braves in the NL
almost solely because of Heyward. Do you ever get that feeling where you just want that certain player to succeed?
See Franklin Franklin.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
I couldn't help rooting for Bo Jackson
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
Boo
bluemax - April 5, 2010
I love how the ESPN feed of the Braves/Cubs game is talking about how great McLouth's defense is.
“He’s driving in runs with his glove!”
“With his run prevention in center, all he needs to do is hit a little bit and he’ll be a great contributor”
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
All of our pitchers were born in the 80s
I don’t know why but that’s really weird to me
Corco - April 5, 2010
Better than not being born in the 80s.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
This is true
For a current major league player that is the ideal decade for them to have been born in
Corco - April 5, 2010
90s!
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
And all but 4 of our position players were born
between the 20th and the 24th of the month
Corco - April 5, 2010
ITS A SIGN
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Hopefully that we'll still be playing baseball between October 20 and 24
Corco - April 5, 2010
If we are playing baseball after my birthday
I’ll be rather happy.
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Yeah, I'm October 9th and baseball beyond that would be super
tootthekazoo - April 5, 2010
That's weirder to me.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
That...is weird.
Does that include the bench players?
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
Yes
Corco - April 5, 2010
Not that it's a surprise but Bradley is confirmed to be in tonight's lineup
Drayer
Ichiro
Figgins
Kotchman
Bradley
Griffey
Lopez
Gutz
Johnson
Wilson
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
YES
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
Needs Moore...
Slurvey - April 5, 2010
I'm just excited that Bradley's not as badly hurt as I was expecting.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
Felix's personal catcher.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
So Guti isn't hitting 3rd after all?
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Presumably "platooning" the 3 spot with Gutz
lemonverbena - April 5, 2010
That's the assumption now, I guess.
i was referring to the fact that earlier Wak said Guti would be hitting third in the opener.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
I thought Gutz was gonna hit 3rd, no?
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
FAIL
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Chris Davis says, "FLAIL."
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
Gutz is hitting 7th? Seems he should hit higher then that.
joof - April 5, 2010
Who is he better than against RHPs, though?
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Billy Wagner is a potential Hall of Famer?
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
I'm a potential Hall of Famer.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
I'm a potential Slayer.
Phil Hatzenbuehler - April 5, 2010
I didn't know Thornton Wilder played baseball.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
And is pitching with an 11 run lead?
Weird?
Slurvey - April 5, 2010
Way to swing the bat, Willie!
Brian Floyd - April 5, 2010
Hey he almost beat out those..uh strikeouts.
the other side - April 5, 2010
Three more hours.
Until I say adieu to posting.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
I reserve the right to rec Scruffy's gif, though.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
You can rec everything you want as long as you don't hit post
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
I am going to miss participating in game threads the most.
I should use the extra time to work on gifs, but I am going to need ideas first. Then when I come back I can put on a Scruffy-esque barrage.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Just write a bunch and click preview..
It will act like a nicotine patch.
seattlesundevil - April 5, 2010
Giants Astros Time
We can Lincecum before we Felix.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Screw Lincecum
We get to watch the Astros!
Wooooooooo Astros!
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Woooooooo Astros!
Let’s get another extension for Wade!
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
BRANDON LYON WILL CARRY THEM TO THE PLAYOFFS
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Lincecum versus older Lincecum
Let’s go Roy!
Teej - April 5, 2010
SANDOVAL TIME!!!
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
HE HAS NOT LOST WEIGHT
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Fat Ichiro!
Also what’s going on with the sound?
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
John Morgan thinks Aubrey Huff is the key to the Giants winning the west.
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
Durr Joe Morgan
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
"Joe Morgan thinks"
That is where you’re wrong.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Guess I should have said Joe Morgan mindlessly blurts that the Giants will win the west largely in part to Aubrey Huff.
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
Being in the Giants market, I don't get the ESPN2 Feed.
I get ESPNews instead on ESPN2. (NO JOE MORGAN!!!) For those in the Bay Area, you can watch the Giants-Astros game on Comcast Sportsnet, channel 720 or 40.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
GODDAMNIT GET A HAIRCUT YOU LOOK LIKE A WOMAN
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
I like to think he is honoring Randy Johnson somehow.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
In that case, he should try growing 14 inches first.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
They did call him the Big Unit
Snowman1025 - April 5, 2010
And try pitching with the other arm.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Top facial hair, Kaz.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
IT'S ALMOST FELIX TIME!!!
seattlesundevil - April 5, 2010
Settle down, still like 2.5 hours
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Alright, I think we've seen enough.
Give Timmy the Cy Young.
the other side - April 5, 2010
So MLB.com appears to be dead.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
And it is back.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
HEY!
No Posting!
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Ben Sheets hasn't thrown a pitch yet
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
The #1 makes Molina look even fatter.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
DP right here.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Well I was wrong.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Shut up Joe Morgan
Posey would have been a lot better than Molina.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
What did he say?
I’m only allowed the Giants feed.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
He said it was a good thing that the Giants re-signed Molina
Otherwise they would have had to have Posey at catcher.
I Lick Squirrels - April 5, 2010
Its not a good thing to have the best catching prospect in the league at catcher.
I mean, they Jason Heyward guy sucks.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Thankfully I am being spared the agony of Joe Morgan today.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
Ditto
Griffin Cooper - April 5, 2010
It's too bad, because Jon Miller is so good.
BrettJMiller - April 5, 2010
Yeah Feliz is a good hanging breaking ball hanging fastball hitter. Great insight Joe.
Zwakamatsu - April 5, 2010
Scruffy, I need help editing video in Photoshop.
I can import them fine, but I am having trouble editing them and then creating the gif. All I need to know is the tools you use and then I can work it from there.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Pulling out something extra special in tonight's bag of tricks?
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
I need to get working on something so I can be prepared when Griffey does hit a home run.
Wilder. - April 5, 2010
Cool.
I’m looking forward to it.
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Sadly, you probably have time to perfect your artwork.
thehemogoblin - April 5, 2010
"Michael Bourn is one of the better CFers in the game"
bluemax - April 5, 2010
Better than McLouth
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Hmm 8.7 UZR/150 last year
not as wacky as I thought.
bluemax - April 5, 2010
I guess you didn't know...
The Bourn Identity
Trenchtown - April 5, 2010
One of the Astros announcers just said, regarding the 2009 NL Cy Young award
“Maybe the voters are starting to figure out that wins are overrated in analyzing starting pitchers”. Coolio.
Griffin Cooper - April 5, 2010
Hire him to run the Astros!
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
Why?
Ed Wade is way more fun
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Have them replace Joe Morgan!
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
"Panda Cam, brought to you by Panda Express"
Fat Ichiro’s plate appearances have a sponsor.
Eyeball Kid - April 5, 2010
No way ESPN would have done that.
Hooray for hilarity on CSN!
perfectstrat - April 5, 2010
The commercials practically write themselves
Griffin Cooper - April 5, 2010
This is awesome
seattlebruin - April 5, 2010
Wow.
