Anybody here going to Opening Day? Really considering it since Score Big has some deals for that day.
I've only missed it once.
Even Safeco won't be able to contain Michael Morse.

Bold Prediction: Blue Jays miss playoffs.
Connecticut you say? I see obstructed view seats in your future for opening day.
I never go to Yankee Stadium. Even when the M's play there.
I do often frequent Fenway and will be attending the end of July series the M's play there as I enjoy that park / area.
That stadium can be hell with obstructed views also, but I know where they are at least.
That shit at Yankee Stadium I did not even know about. But hey those are bleacher seats ... shit happens when you pay $20 a ticket.

It shouldn't be like this though. Bleacher seats are super fun at Giants games AND you can see the whole stadium. Just another LOL Yankees moment that we've been having a lot of lately.
How dare you!
With the short fence its not like you need to see both sides anyway.
Today is truly a glorious day for all.
I would rather have this. I don't like Joe Buck, but normally his partner is the greater of both evils.

So if you are out of options, is it like that forever? Say you sign a contract with another team after using all of your options, do you get more?

I believe service time is the only factor so changing teams wouldn't affect how many option years a player has left.
Mr. Enigma

It's like that until you hit 6.000 service time and can file for free agency. No matter if you switch teams, you're still out of options and can't be sent to the minors without passing irrevocable waivers.
Once you hit 6.000 service time and are on a Major League contract, you can't be sent to the minors without your permission.

Girardi: Phil Hughes to start season on DL with bulging disc

You guys with your PECOTA and MLB.TV. Who's bringing baseball back to the working man?
Do the yanks have anyone in their rotation that will make 30 starts this season? Kuroda and Pettite are guaranteed to go down at some point. Last I saw CC is dealing with some elbow problems. Nova? Do you even want him making 30 starts? Pineda? lol. Who am I missing?

Nothing really to add except that I think it's hilarious that things have gotten so bad for the Astros that people are actually picking them to lose 112 games before the season even starts. And they might be right too.

Might as well put the whole team on the dl.
CC had surgery in the offseason, he'll be fine and make his 30 starts. I wouldn't expect Kuroda to go down since he doesn't have a history of injuries and has been very durable. I agree with you on Pettite even though his injury last year was a bit of a fluke. As for Nova, he's the 5th starter, and I wouldn't expect him to make 30 starts anyway unless someone in front of him gets injured. You're missing Phelps, who'll be in the bullpen and a spot starter like he was last season.

Yankees projected disabled list to start the season:

all my starters are dead.
http://www.ajc.com/news/sports/baseball/gattis-makes-braves-opening-day-roster/nW5Wy/If ever a movie is made about Evan Gattis’ life (the way he’s going, it might be) then what happened Wednesday could be a climactic scene.
Gattis was told he made the Braves’ opening-day roster, bringing to fruition the catcher’s once-improbable dream of playing in the major leagues. The big Texan teared up when manager Fredi Gonzalez told him he made the team.
“Definitely a day I’ll remember forever,” said Gattis, 26. “It finally happened. I’m trying not to get too excited yet, even though I’ve already cried and everything else.”
Now he’s a prospect with a splendid nickname, El Oso Blanco (“The White Bear”
He’d been out of baseball nearly four years, after walking away from a Texas A&M scholarship without attending a class. Gattis battled depression, anxiety and substance abuse and traversed several western states doing odd jobs, from cook to janitor to ski-lift operator, while seeking out new-age philosophers and spiritual advisors.
After getting the itch to play baseball again, he spent a year of college at Texas-Permian Basin and was drafted by the Braves in the 23rd round in 2010.
Upon learning he’d made the team, Gattis made three phone calls Wednesday morning, the first to his girlfriend of four years, Kim Waters.
“She wanted to be the first to know, and I told her I’d call her before my dad,” said Gattis, who then called his father, Jo, and mother, Melinda. All were in Dallas, and Gattis said they’ll try to come to Atlanta for Monday’s season-opener against Philadelphia.
“Tough ol’ Oso Blanco shed some tears a little bit,” Gonzalez said. “He was excited. We were excited. The whole coaching staff was excited for him.”
Just two years ago, Gattis didn’t make the Class-A Rome roster out of spring training, instead toiling in extended spring training until there was an opening.
Now he’s on the major league opening-day roster and might end up starting as many or even more games than veteran catcher Gerald Laird until starter Brian McCann returns from shoulder-surgery rehab, perhaps in late April or early May. Laird strained a calf muscle early in camp and had only 22 at-bats before Wednesday.

Fuck!!!! It took me 20 mins for it to finally let me into the draft and I already got 3 players. What a horrible way to start the season.
