The one good thing about the Pirates being my team is that my expectations are incredibly low. I would be happy if they finished anywhere close to .500. It's not likely to happen, unfortunately.
Well, maybe Hurdle won't keep letting guys with 1-11 records pitch.
Royals win their second game 2-1 when Kila Ka'aihue makes a walk-off homerun in the first at-bat in the bottom of the 9th.
I'll bring the champagne. It is a very exclusive club, after all.
Thank you
BTW, I love how one run is "did well against Halladay."
Anytime Halladay leaves the game and the other team is leading, I think I consider that doing well.
Well, the Twins sure started the season ugly. They lost to Toronto 13-3 (worst opening game in Twins history), but it looked even worse- especially that 1st inning. Hopefully Tsuyoshi Nishioka just had an off game. In Japan he was known for his fielding, but he sure was out of sync Friday.
Ah, the hits from the New York Mets keep on coming:
So, let me get this straight ... the pitching coach says the usage wasn't abusive, but then says that the usage is why they didn't try to re-sign him? The cognitive dissonance is ... astounding.
Keith Olbermann took a picture of somebody in the Yankees organization feeding hitters in the on deck circle pitch speeds and types. An MLB no-no. If he gets fired, he can fill in as a Joel McHale impersonator.
Good win for the Giants today. They won't go 0-162 and nice way to exercise some demons.
Huh. The Jays are looking really good so far. Sure, it's just two games, but they've kicked the shit out of the Twins the past couple days. I don't think they're going to be serious contenders or anything, but if they can put up as many or a few more wins than last year I'll be satisfied.
On pace now for 81-81. Sigh.
Omar Infante goes 0/5 tonight. Boy needs to come back to the Braves and start hitting well again!
Think positive. They're on pace for 161-1!
Red Sox are getting shellacked by the Rangers. But Gonzalez is having another good game.
From up in the 500 level of Rogers Centre, that first inning was great fun.
Especially Rajai Davis's mad scramble back to first and the double-steal.I didn't get to see the game today, but I like the approach the Jays are taking at this point. It should make for some exciting baseball this year.
They've got a good young pitching staff (sure stymied the Twins so far) and some good long ball hitters. I don't see Toronto winning the east (tough division), but they'll be competitive.
I sure wish the Twins would have tried to upgrade their starting pitching. They had the money, but pretty much stayed with the same mediocre lineup.
I like how even SNY made fun of them the other night with an unauthorized use of a Family Guy clip ripping them.
If your team sucks and tries and has some plan going forward, good for them.
If your team is a smoldering grease fire of an abomination, with ownership crying poor, and $18M tied up in old salary, and questionable injuries year after year, and your stadium pays homage to another team, much less one that old timers in NY hate for leaving for LA, screw 'em. Like a jilted lover finding out your ex has alien space herpes, take pleasure in their misery.
I put the over/under on Jose Reyes at about May 12.
Schadenfreude. Coming to Citi Field this April. First 10,000 fans 14 and younger get a free Yadier Molina bat (c. 2006) and a Commemorative 2007 poster detailing the Heimlich Maneuver.
KM - Mets rehab hotline is available 24/7, PM for details.
