did you not see his last outing against the red sux:glugglug:8-0 I believe just spanking them its good that he is coming back to '06 form

No, I missed that one, one of the few games I haven't really tracked this year. The more I watch them though the more I love what I see.

That must be one time when you are a Twins fan...when they play those bastards from the bean-town.

^^^No worries the Jays get another Giants castoff in Fred Lewis aka K-Fred (you'll see why) he is sure to be a big draw. Did MLB do the Jackie tribute by confusing everybody once again and having every single player wear #42? Great idea Bud. In honor of Jackie I will be tepid in my DODGERS SUCK DODGERS SUCK DODGERS SUCK chanting.

I remember back last season when they were talking about signing Barry Bonds in Toronto. Couldn't have hurt the fanbase...

I guess the Disastros won't go 0-162 after all.

SIDE QUESTION: Anybody here doing MLB.TV on the web? Is it worth it? It's pretty expensive ($199) so I am reluctant to go for it. Any input appreciated.

Jagger, I wouldn't get it. What they put in the fine print is that games are subject to local blackout restrictions regardless of whether the game is home or away or even televised (see here). For example, I live in northern Indiana and every Cubs, Sox, and Reds game would automatically be blacked out all year long.

I did get the MLB Audio package so that I could listen to the games that aren't televised on WGN or CSN Chicago (15-20 games a year). It's also great because I can listen at work during my prep time.

Before you get it, figure out if the team you're following would be blacked out. There's a zip code check on the link above and it tells you which market you're in. If you want to follow a team and you aren't in their market, then I guess you might consider it. If I lived in California, this would be a great package to have. But as my team is so close, MLB TV doesn't make sense because I couldn't watch my team's games on it anyway.

I dont have any idea why nobody signed Bonds after he left the Giants. I guess him being a colossal asshole far outweighed his hitting prowess. Collusion? He would have been great as a DH.

Atlanta..............Goodnight

Ubaldo Jimenez with a no hitter.

Cardinals vs. Mets scoreless in the 17th inning. :helpme:



Make that the 18th now.

Felipe Lopez in to pitch for the Cards.

 

[sp00ner77]

Mets won in 20 innings....probablly more acurate to say the Cardinals lost.

crazy

I'm stil stunned at the awfulness of some of the managing decisions on both sides.

Pirates are now 6-5 with a win in the bottom of the ninth against the Reds 5-4 tonight. Pretty good game, I like the Pirates fight they have in them. Definitely see something better this year than last year from them. Garrett Anderson is one hell of a ballplayer. He makes some miraculous defensive plays, as well he knows how to swing the bat, with a walkoff single tonight. They need to keep it up and not give up hope so early in the season, this is exactly what they needed. Looked like they were down and out, and came back with the win.

Good to see the Reds are getting their seasonal "drop out of the race" early season choke out of the way even earlier this year.

I see the Tigers are starting their mid-season collapse early.

Poor bugger. And you haven't even had to deal with us Twins yet. :ban:

I'd venture a guess as to say almost any AL team would have been happy to have him as a DH, however the legal processes he was tied up certainly had a major effect.

 

[Dean Henneberg]

Is the Cardinals game over yet? :eek::1orglaugh

 

[PlasmaTwa2]

He was still in legal problems when the Jays thought about signing him, if I remember correctly. Probably didn't want to pick up a huge contract for him and then have him miss every game or something. Plus that was when the debate on steroid use caught on fire, and I assume the Jays didn't want to take the bad press.

 

[HE1FiNEARTiST]

woohoo, the 'stros beat the cubs and won that series. lol sorry ass cubs :rofl:

 

[Red001]

proof that it's April the Pirates are in second place 1 game behind the Cardinals

I could fax this to Yawkey Way. The Sawx are finished. Tampa just clowned our asses with ease. Boston and Baldymore battling it our for last place in the AL East this year? :dunno:

What the hell was Theo Epstein thinking when he put the lineup together this offseason

This is basically a .500 club, at best...:weeping:

I'm sure he'll throw a couple truckloads of money at some Twins next year. :tongue:

 

[Skyraider22]

The Dodgers are off to a 6-6 start not what I had in plan but it could have been worse:dunno:

Watching Cubs v. Mets. Falling asleep...
