Wow, guess they sold a lot of flex packs.....
Bought tickets to the first game against Boston, Josh Johnson should be starting and everyone is going to boo the fuck out of Farrel
Oh man, the salt on Twitter is hilarious, people thinking that no tickets went on sale until today, how could you miss all those flex pack commercials and reports that flex pack opener tickets were sold out weeks ago =/

The email they sent yesterday said there would be a limited number of home opener tickets available. I honestly don't think there were any. Did best available as soon as I got the email at 10:02 and nothing.
I'm not complaining, but that's crazy levels of hype.
I'll see Dickey pitch another day.
1. Is Bautista back to normal? Wrist injuries for hitters are like shoulders for pitchers. There's no guarantee.
2. Will Melky be good again after the 50 game suspension? Probably not, but a decent OBP should get him the 2 spot in the lineup.
3. The kids are alright? There's room for improvement from Lawrie and Arencibia. Stop striking out so much JP.
4. Who plays second? Gibbons says Izturis, but I'd like to see Bonifacio split time and bat 9th. That sets up the track meet with Reyes for the sluggers.
5. Will Rasmus stop being an inconsistent flake? The southern weirdo needs to mature or Gose will steal his job.
6. Can Lind hit lefties? I doubt it, so platoon him with Rajai Davis.
7. Can Dickey repeat as Cy Young champ? Slim chances, but 70% is still all-star calibre.
8. Can Josh Johnson stay healthy? If so, get him signed long term.
9. Is Romero done? 5th in the rotation takes all the pressure off, but it'll be a short leash. Happ is needed in the bullpen.
10. How about that bullpen? Is Santos alright? Horses Dickey and Buehrle in the rotation should lessen the bullpen workload. Old man Oliver is back, so it would be nice if Cecil could be an effective 2nd lefty. If there's any extra pennies in the bank, spend it on the bullpen.
Good speed, good stick, good starters, and depth if they falter. It's a solid lineup so everybody on the hype train. Season ticket sales are great and the rest of the country will be watching. OK Blue Jays!

Oh snap. Will that get a separate thread?
I'm ready to continue to post sporadically but always reminding you that I'm here...in the background.

So Los Mests can spend monies again?

A lot of good it does now.
Apparently M's traded Shawn Kelley to the Yankees.
No details yet. Kelley is pretty good ... dunno why the f they designated him. Guess they get scared of his tendency for giving up dingers and replaced him with a minor league deal groundballer in Kameron Loe.
edit : For Abraham Almonte. Depth jobber.

On who?
Low. There will be individual tickets available, but they'll go really fast.
Damn.
Guess I'll be sticking to the broadcast. Not that it's terrible, but having been to the home opener for 2 straight years sitting in the 100s, I'm spoiled.

Dan Uggla looks like a deflated balloon now.
Also, Fredi ripped Schafer and Pastornicky to the media for not showing up early. Classy.

Uggla probably toned his HGH way down.

Classy, but those two did need to be there early even if they didn't have to be- they're pretty much 4A guys at this point in their careers, and it's not like Schafer doesn't have a bad rep. Pastornicky couldn't even make his winter ball team apparently.
He doesn't look that big when he's not wearing his smediums.
