If only the season were over. The O's would be ahead of the Yankees!
Nice while it lasts.

Not hoping for much from my Tigers this year. Pitching sucks, offense no longer looks that dangerous. I was reading "expert" predictions in the paper. 1 of six "experts" had the Tigers winning the AL central. The other 5 had them picked dead last.

Nice first day - Marlins get an Inside the park HR and a Grand Slam.

Considering they built on speed and power...I'd say it worked quite well.

CC certainly didn't start my fantasy team out on the right foot.

Nice start for the Dodgers, especially against someone like Peavy.

agreed, nice to finally pull one from Peavy... really, looking at the Dodgers line up, 1-7 is a very formidable... when you have someone like Kemp batting 7th, easy 20-30 guy with a .300 average, hey life aint bad...

if the starting pitching can remain solid with the loss of Lowe (Penny & Schmidt were non-factors last season), no reason why the team cant challenge for the NLCS again this season

go Doh-yers!

Big name free agent pither who gives up 6 runs, walks five, hurls wild pitches left and right and doesn't strike out anyone...170 million

Big name free agent who goes 0-4 and leaves 5 stranded...180 million

New stadium for a bunch of overpaid ageing, injury prone, steroid using line-up who missed the playoffs last year...1.3 billion

Watching them implode this season and seeing Hal go off the deep end with a payroll of 200+ million dollars is going to be...PRICELESS

What's going to be priceless is not seeing your posts after September because the Red Sox would have folded like cheap lawn chairs.

Damn, why can't the Marlins play the Nats 162 times each year.

You mean folded like Texiera with RISP? You'll still see my posts, I won't vanish like Wine Wizzard should my team not make the playoffs. I can stick around and take what I deserve should that happen. Until then, enjoy my posts.

Nice 10 spot for the G-men. I'm sure this isn't a sign of things to come, however, I am sure they will be much better than last year.

DVD, not sure I like the Kung-Fu-Panda, I still like Little Money if you ask me. Either way, I am pretty optimistic considering the potential in with the pitching, we won't need to score too many runs to win some games, however I think we will!!

Nice video of Joba's DUI arrest. Strangely I like him better now that he called New Yorkers rude and ungrateful.

Hard to argue with that.

Baseball rarity:
April 6--PHOENIX (AP)—Tony Clark and Arizona newcomer Felipe Lopez each homered from both sides of the plate, and the Diamondbacks outslugged the Colorado Rockies 9-8 on Monday.

Lopez and Clark became the first switch-hitting teammates to homer from both sides of the plate in a game since Jorge Posada and Bernie Williams did it for the New York Yankees on April 23, 2000. It had never been done on opening day.

Note by Irwin: It is not that frequent that one switch hitter hits two home runs in the same game, and sometimes the person hits them both from the same side.

My Marlins and Bravos are off to great starts. ALthough the fish are having some trouble closing this game out. Thank you Dan Uggla and your awesome glove work.

I was born and rasied in North Palm Beach so I was growing up when the Braves had their spring training in West Palm Beach. My dad and I would always go to games every year, even on a school day which is a big deal when you are 10. They will always be my favorite team because of the memories. However, I am a big Marlins fan. You gotta love the home team. I go to 8-10 games a year. That will change when they move to the old orange bowl site though. Joe Robbie Stadium is so easy to get to from West Palm; Orange Bowl, not so much.

Hey, that's no excuse. I grew up going to Red Sox and Tigers spring games and I can't stand the Sox and could care less for the Tigers.

No doubt the new location will be worse for me as well. Easy to get to now from P.Pines when I visit. Was really easy for me when I was living in Miramar..but...oh well. I can't get to many anymore anyway, so having a "real" baseball stadium will convince to check it out when I can.

I do plan on catching them when they are up at the Dump that is Tropicana.

Hey GlennK - that was a pretty good AAA offense yesterday....

Twins got pretty lucky last night. Slowey goes against Silva tonight so I like our chances.

The nickname, I like the nickname Little Money better, the one I believe Jon Miller gave him last year. He was little money, while Bengie was big money.
