Finally! Season opener for the Jays.

[B.A.]

Why, oh why, are they showing the KC/Detroit game on ESPN2? :hscratch: I thought the whole point was to get people to tune in to the games, not skip the channel.

If the Cardinals aren't going to start the season against the Baby Bears, then it should be against the 'Stros. :up: Too bad it's in that craptastic stadium. -ohbfrank-

I was about to ask why in hell Texas was opening the season with an interleague game and then I realized that was the "LA" Angels not LA Dodgers. :down: What a stupid name. Bring back Anaheim!

Pedro is on for today... cant wait to see it......


THE New Mets...

[DaveNinja]

I'm guessing there will be lots of strike outs at the Brewers vs Pirates game with those 2 pitchers.
Hopefully the A's and barry Zito will get off to a good start.

Says the sweepstakes is over.

[Deftones]

Well, Beltran is *officially* a bust. He grounded out to first in his first Mets AB. :lol:

Matsui w/ a solo shot, though.

[Tommy Ceez]

He's quickly moving up to being the second best Matsui in NY

[Mad Dawg]

Pedro's getting hit a little, but his stuff looks solid. He's hit the mid-90s on the gun.

[Mad Dawg]

Now he's getting hit a lot. Dunn with a 3 run bomb. And it was a big one.

[Third Baseman]

Say hello to Mr. Dunn. :)

[Mad Dawg]

Estimated 424 ft on Dunn's shot.

Hey, maybe the other Jeff Cirillo has returned. He's 2-2 with an HR and 2 RBI in his return to the Brewers.

Cubs sign Ramirez to $44 million deal
Third baseman gets four-year contract extension
SportsTicker
Updated: 2:55 p.m. ET April 4, 2005

PHOENIX - Aramis Ramirez, one of the keys to Chicago Cubs’ chances in 2005, Monday agreed to terms on a four-year, $44 million contract extension.

Ramirez, who was 10th in the National League Most Valuable Player voting last season, was slated to make $6 million this season and would have been eligible for free agency in November. His new deal also includes a vesting option for 2010.

The 26-year-old Ramirez hit .318 with 36 homers and 103 RBI in 547 at-bats last season. He is a career .273 hitter with 127 homers and 458 RBI in parts of seven seasons.





Glad that's over with :up:

[Mad Dawg]

Pedro is beginning to look dominant. He has struck out 7, including the side in both of the last two innings.

[Aphex Twin]

With the home runs today, Dimitri Young is on pace to hit 324 HRs!

Great to see Young having a monster day. Hopefully, he stays healthy and has the great year that he deserves.

[twikoff]

holy crap.. just got a chance to check in

someone hurry up and get a urine sample from dmitri young!

[SpaceBoy]

ok pedro has become what he is worth

Yeah against the mighty reds ;)

I think everybody expects Pedro to pitch great this year with the chip on his shoulder... and in the pitcher friendly National League. However, no way he plays that great for the life of the very expensive contract.. That's how I see it, it's more a 2-3 year down the road problem, not this year.

[raven56706]

yeah and give me what he is taking because he is doing super awesome

[twikoff]

I think this is the year that Detroit will go 162-0






<small>and then get swept by the wildcard team in the first round of the playoffs</small>

I guess you'll have to wait at least one more game for that. :lol:

I give credit to whomever is running this MASN entity for hiring Mel Proctor to do Nats' games. One of the best in the biz. However, they are still avoiding references to 'Baltimore' for the O's games - using 'O's' instead of 'Bal.' I guess we won't be seeing 'Baltimore' on the Orioles' road unis anytime soon. :down:

Xavier Nady has 2 HRs for SD today. He's no Dmitri Young, but it'll be interesting to see him put in considerable time this year.

....and then gets ejected.

Mark Buehrle 8 inning pitched, 2 hits, 0 runs. White Sox win 1-0.

I thought he had worked on his "headcase-itis" over the offseason.

I guess not :rolleyes:

[Mad Dawg]

I thought he had worked on his "headcase-itis" over the offseason.

I guess not :rolleyes:

It wouldn't have been so bad had he:

a) not whistled to get the ump's attention

and b) not been completely wrong. Don't get me wrong, that was a close pitch. But he was getting strikes at the armpits and higher for the majority of the game. Wasn't hard to see that Blue has a high strike zone.

But it was somewhat humorous to hear the announcers talk about how he was making an effort to control his emotions this year.

[nevermind]

Nice catch by Burnitz. Sosa wouldn't have got that :).

He's having a good debut in Cubs blue.

[Al Padrino]

Expect Zambrano to regress a bit this season. I still love watching him pitch, but until he gets those emotions in check, he's going to have a huge flaw hanging over his head.

But how about this new small ball Cubbie offense? I know it's one game and against the D-Backs, but to see them post nine on the board before getting a homer, was incredible.

[nevermind]

Boy, Ramirez sure likes his new contract :D

[Al Padrino]

And I sure like the trade I made to get him on my fantasy team yesterday.

[FantasticVSDoom]

Petey goes 6, gives up 3, the bullpen blows it. Who woulda seen that coming?

(It was rhetorical; put your hands down).
The new Mets, same as the old Mets...And I still want to kick Wells in the nads right now.

[Brian Gentz]

FYI Cubs lost too much production to compete this year.... They've only scored 16 runs so far

[nevermind]

Every Cub starter has at least a hit :up:

New club record - 16 runs on opening day,

22 hits so far.


FYI, the WGN announcers just said the Cubs scored 19 runs in 6 games against the Dbacks last season

Deftones will not be happy tonight.

FYI Cubs lost too much production to compete this year.... They've only scored 16 runs so farBut, but, but how will you overcome the loss of Corky and Alou and all of their magnificent home runs?


;)

[nevermind]

Well I didn't expect a game like that, but I'll take it :up:



I just hope they aren't shut out tomorrow :)

Blah - WGN just isn't the same w/out Stoney.

I agree.

But it is much better without that pompous ass he shared a booth with :banana:

Can't wait for Cubs/Cards to heat up. Hopefully Cubbies can put up 16 against them aswell.

[twikoff]

great win for the cubs
although its a shame that they wasted all their runs for april, on opening day

[Deftones]

Someone needs to mention that to Time Warner in Houston. I was looking forward to seeing the Twins/Mariners opener.

Christ, Vazquez sucks. Deftones is probably not enjoying himself at the park today.

I don't know what was worse today. The assraping the Cubs gave the D-backs or the assraping I had to endure paying $7.00 per beer. :(

[Deftones]

Every Cub starter has at least a hit :up:

New club record - 16 runs on opening day,

22 hits so far.

Hey, I have peace in the fact that the all time series record is 33-26, D-backs ahead. ;)

:lol:

When you posted tonight I was going to say, "At least the beer was cold." That doesn't take the sting out as I had hoped it would :(

So was the highlight of the day, Ryne Sandberg throwing the "opening pitch" to Mark Grace? For those that don't know, They didn't do the normal opening pitch, and had Ryne Sandberg throw from 2nd to Mark Grace at 1st.

Aramis 'thanking' the Tribune Co. for the nice paycheck was the highlight for me :)

Yeah. It was pretty funny. They had the fake mound setup for the pitch. Then the crowd goaded them into going to the real mound. Then Gracie/Sandberg decided to do it 2B to 1B. They were both miked, so it was pretty fun to watch. :up:

[kenbuzz]

:D:up: WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

KEARNS DUNN RANDA ... BOO YAH

Reds 1-0! :D
Like I always say, you can't win 'em all if you don't win the first one.

Who dey think gonna beat dem Redlegs?

[Josh H]

Orioles had a record opening day attendance yesterday. Guess the Nationals aren't drawing fans away like Angelos wined about. -rolleyes-

I had a 1:30 meeting in Baltimore yesterday, was a pain to park.

[BrianYuen]

lol

the oakland A's lost to the Oriales....

how do they lose to the worst team ever?

[nevermind]

I'll ask again...

Is Randomville near Vacaville?
