I cant predict 7 runs

so ill predict millwood finds his 2005 self and the rangers win 3-2 w/ 2 runs off of whoever pitches the 8th.

2.0

Apparently one of the uber-kewl new features of 2.0 is that it starts not 1, but 2 (!) game day threads.

That's totally awesome. I never would have thought of that.

Does this mean he goes to the penalty box?

And I'm predicting 6-2 Rangers loss, sorry but we are going up against a Ranger-killer and we haven't fared too well on opening night

by Taylor on Mar 31, 2008 4:41 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

Too cold for 7 runs.

I'll say 6-4 Rangers. Joking. 3-1 Rangers. Milly will be a Bully tonight.

BTW, really good game between Detroit and KC today. Royals slayed the Tigers in extra innings. Verlander outpitched Meche, by a little, even though Verlander's box score looks a little bit worse in some ways. Cabrera went deep all ready.

Kinsler back in lineup, per ST:

Ian Kinsler has risen from his sick bed and will be in the lineup today in the season opener. Fewer than two hours ago, he had been scratched with flu-like symptoms that included a high fever. But he took batting practice in the cage in the Rangers' clubhouse and declared himself fit to play.

-- Jeff Wilson

Woo-Hoo!

phew

didnt say anything because i didnt want to even vaguely insult kins, but i thought it was pretty odd that he would miss opening day with a fever unless this was far more serious than most average cold/fever stuff is. a sick kinsler on medication > vazquez.

Hopefully we can get 2 runs in the last couple of innings

I'll say 5-2 Mariners. I don't see any reason why Bedard won't shut us down.

Hopefully I am dead wrong :).

obviously not even 4 ip yet.. but hey, its johan in shea vs the marlins on opening day.

also worth mentioning: mark hendrickson is the marlins opening day starter.

I have DirecTV, the sports pack with all the FSN channels and I subscribe to the extra innings.

Now, I am getting all the games on the FSN channels which I thought would be blacked out hence purchasing extra innings.

As I wrote on an earlier reply above

FSN HD will only be for HOME games, not away games. That's how it is for the Mavs games on FSN as well. Sucks, but at least its something.

usually like Stars games and such, they don't even run the FSN-HD feed and only show it on FSSW.
