This is kindof a fake Opening Day but I still like it.
Also, I love Austin Kearns for a sleeper this season in fantasy baseball SI

Got my powder blue Royals jersey on at work today. Meche should pitch a dandy and we'll be 1-0.

I'm a little worried about the offense on a cold day in Detroit. Meche could pitch a dandy and we'd still lose 2-0 to Verlander. That said, here's to a good start of the season. SI

I am amazed at all these talking heads who are predicting the Braves to win the NL east.
They have 2 over 40 pitchers in there rotation, a suspect closer and an injury prone third baseman. Not much speed at the top and a lineup that strikes out way to much. Outside of Tex and McCann they have offensive questions at every position and Mark Kotsay is their opening day center fielder. Am I missing something here?

Did anyone else buy the MLB.com GameDay Audio or the video package? I bought the GameDay audio so I could listen to the afternoon games at work. Great deal at $15 for the whole season for all team radio broadcasts.
I had the video package a couple of years ago when I lived in Baltimore and wanted to watch the Royals. That was a pretty good deal for the price as well. |

Great, great Opening Day at Nationals Park. First batter faced? Strikeout. First pitch faced? Single. Last pitch faced? Homerun over the left field wall by none other than Ryan Zimmerman, the face of the Nationals. GO NATS!
and.. damn was it cold.

Wow. Justin Verlander hit a wall. He was cruising along with a 1 hitter for a long time. 1 inning later, he's out of the game.
Edit: There goes the lead. 3-3 tie and Verlander gets a no-decision. Last edited by Mizzou B-ball fan : 03-31-2008 at 02:06 PM. |

True. They're not out of the inning yet. 2 on, 2 out. Or does the loss go to the reliever and the runs go to Verlander? Edit: Royals just took the lead. Obviously the run is Verlander's, but I'm guessing that the reliever gets the loss for actually giving up the hit that gave the Royals the lead.

I have XM so I don't need the audio, but I always get the premium video package so I can watch the Mets games.
Well worth the $20 a month or so. 2 features I like alot are the mosaic where you can watch 6 games and the fact you can watch archived games so if you are busy you can watch the game later that night as if you DVR'd it. |

Great win for the Royals to start it off. That was a fun game to listen to. I agree that the Gameday Audio package is a great deal and I use it to help pass the time at work. Good to see Gordon start off well also.
I'm trying out the video package for the first time this season because the Mosaic sounded very cool to me, and the Player Tracker sounded awesome if it works well. Getting ready to fire it up now and see how it plays. |

Bah, 0-1. Though I got to say, I like that D-backs team that we went up against. Bunch of young guys, though I don't think it's a good sign when Eric Byrnes is hitting in your 3-hole.

I have no idea what his age has anything to do with it. He hits for decent average, doesn't strike out a ton, has some pop and a ton of speed. They aren't a high powered offense anyway. I don't see the issue with him hitting third, not every team has a David Wright to put in the 3 hole |

Ok, you are right in the sense of 1 season age has nothing to do with it so I will rephrase:
do you really believe a player with a career .780 OPS is a good fit for 3rd? point being, i said i like the team but don't know if it's a good sign that they have byrnes hitting 3rd. if this was the giants, it's fine. but the dbacks are contenders. all i'm saying is that's kind of a weak ass 3rd hitter. yer like teh dumbest resident of cincinnati ever |

Again, the point is that while they won a nice amount of games, we can't just pretend that their lineup was as equal the reason as the pitching staff.
These are obvious rebuttals, how are you not picking up on them |

pitching wins. period. As long as they score timely runs thats all that matters. I just don't understand your argument. It's not like Juan Pierre hitting third. |
