OMG that STL win % is giving me a half-chub. A Cardinals-Astro WS would be epic, I have fond memories of the early '00 series with them and now we could meet them again in October although I don't think they're honestly ready right now. Would still be a lot of fun to watch so many of the young guns on both sides of that showdown imo.

Standing in line at Petco and some dude gives me and my friends 50 dollar seats for free.
Does that make up for Time Warner refusing to let me see the fight last night? No, but at least it came around.

I need eznark's opinion of Roenicke being fired.
I'm going to blame you if the Yankees lose this game.

What are these assholes doing?
That was quick, thought they would at least wait till we got closer to the all star break.

Even standing in line for seats at Petco is news to me.

The April schedule was fairly light on tough series compared to May so it's nice to start off with a sweep. The Cards have a chance to expand their lead in the next several games but I imagine it'll be pretty rough at times.
Our pitchers can't keep up their crazy strand rates for too long.

I mean it wasn't a big line or anything but I don't recall big lines even at sell outs or close to sell outs.
Yeah that's for sure - the series against the AL Central's current top dogs seems ripe for drama, as does the showdown in the big apple. And you called it on the strand rate; I haven't checked but I'm sure guys like Lynn and Wacha's FIPs are way out of proportion from their low ERAs. Wacha's start today is the perfect example with him only striking out 2 and allowing a >1.0 WHIP, yet holding his opposition to a doughnut on the big board.
Either way I like the fact that we could play .500 ball from here on out and still probably take the division.

Is eznark ok with counsell being the possible replacement?

Craig Counsell will be named the new Brewers manager tomorrow.

Don Mattingly relieved himself in one of the bathroom stalls at Dodger Stadium today.

Lynn's FIP is actually a full run lower than his ERA I think, he's been very good this year. Wacha is probably not sustainable. Neither is CarMart, but I expect his hr% and lob% to both normalize so his regression won't be that bad.
Wildcard is definitely Jaime or Marco taking over Wainwright's spot. But pitching will still be good, just not April good

He's a gritty guy who played the game the right way and was great in the clutch. He'll be a player's manager who has a real good feel for the game. He'll follow his gut, and not be swayed by the so-called experts.
Blargh.
But hey, it's worked for Ned Yost so far in Kansas City. If that clown can get to the World Series, anyone can.

Please don't get destroyed in STL Cubs.
The season seems to have a weird flow to it.
First our offense sucked and Lester sucked, then our offense was great and Lester still sucked, now our offense sucks and Lester is pitching well.

Someone make the hurting stop.
It's supposed to be pretty warm so I imagine we'll finally start hitting HRs.

The one memory of Craig Counsell as a player I have rattling around in my long term memory is him hitting an infield fly and shouting very audibly into the mics "FUUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!!"
Fun fact: Petco Park is somehow second in Major League Baseball in homers. Nobody on the team is raking a ton of HR either.

Wondering why the Padres are going to call up Hedges if all he is going to be is a backup C. Seems like he could use the AB's.

What are my baseball game options with a 360 or a Wii U?
Does using a Wii mote as an actual bat count?

Sell both for a PS4?

Older games like Power Pro Baseball on Wii (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0019C6KBG/?tag=neogaf0e-20) which will play on Wii U.
Or, if you want to be a boss about it, get Baseball Stars from the Virtual Console.
Honestly though the lack of competition in modern baseball games is pathetic.

So guys, biggest April MLB surprise? The Astros or the Yankees?
Selling both and putting the money towards a PS4?

2K gave up.
How did Sony actually gain a monopoly on the MLB License?
I can't buy 2K12, because rosters and because of no online, so that's a problem.
Kind of doesn't matter til 2018 anyway, Brewers are a shit-show until at least then.
