and turtle army, good for a chuckle. Maybe you need to make one of MY with a ham in place of his glove.

Josh Hamilton is a 5 tool player, one of those tools is a syringe with heroin in it. How hateful is that?

About Laird.

Is that close to a record for game posts? I don't remember that many for any games last year.

Even given how the AL West doesn't really strike too much fear into me, I really don't have any illusions about winning the division...
Tonights game just made me really excited about the direction we're going.

its also not like last year was their typical year. their combined career ERA is around 4.1. They should be at best #2 and #3 instead of #1 and #2, but they arnt actually really bad ptichers just because of one injury plagued bad season.

But that can be said for any and all teams in the Majors. So remember, if Bedard and Felix can't get wins against our offense...

Felix and Bedard are much better than anything in your rotation. that said, we only scored 7 total runs in the first two games. I'd like to see how we do in warmer weather without the whole team under the flu watch, and I'd like to see some of that attention to defense pay off. and maybe Josh Rupe - is that too much to ask, for some Josh Rupe tonight?

either way, if Anaheim thought we'd just roll over and give them 3 or 4 in a row without a fight, obviously, our pitching has another thing to say about that. just two games, but a huge two games to prove that our top 2 guys are both healthy and effective...crossing my fingers for Jennings to join them tonight

do the interview and constantly looking over his shoulder.

Then he tells Josh and TAG that he's looking around expecting someone to try and pie him, hilarious.

the M's announcers immediate reaction to Hamilton hitting a HR, is to bring him down and talk about how he battled and was suspended for his drug use, and not to talk about how he just shut that entire stadium up.

yeah, it was ab =p

Somewhere in between...17 wins. Best of the staff.
Just guessing. Seems to be coming in this year under the radar.

you should look into getting a new homepage during baseball season

and ended up an hour behind. had to fight myself to not check LSB before it was over, and was glad I did...although I did have a friend text me with "J-Ham!!!" which kinda ruined that moment. Still: seeing him do it, and against Putz, and Kinsler's hit before that setting it up, and CJ's closing moments (double the enjoyment as he's one of my closers on both of my fantasy teams) were just awesome to watch.

They play the day before in Boston as well at 12:35 CT.

Not because of the Boston Marathon, more the Boston Marathon is always on Patriots Day. I think it's the earliest game of the season each year. People get the day off work and get drunk good and early. I enjoy getting to work and listening to a game first thing in the morning.
