Best part of today is that I had Hamels going against me in my fantasy league. So there is a silver lining! Right guys? Right?

Whatever. I am not even worried. Joe Blanton will right the ship on Wednesday.

didn't blanton pitch out of the bullpen the other day? i thought they were skipping his turn in the rotation.

 

[Jangocube]

It sucks being an Orioles fan in southern California. I only get to see them play in Angels in 2 weeks for 1 three game series and then that's it. But hey, maybe I'll go back to Baltimore sometime this summer for a game and I'll definitely go back for the playoffs and World Series to see them win it.

Another, Orioles fan? What is this?!?!??!?!?! And on the West Coast! Pure craziness sir! Glad to see you are as delus...realistic as me!

I have it! But I still miss the smell and sounds of Camden, the taste of Boog's pit beef and the silence of those annoying Yankee and Red Sox fans when the O's manage to squeak out a defeat.

And a true fan you are. May the west be blessed with more souls like yours.

 

[Sanjuro]

Pretty sure I'm a Orioles fan too.

Yeah Blanton is not pitching on Wednesday. Doc is so the offense only needs to produce 1 run.

That is true.

Thanks =) Unfortunately, I didn't follow the team last season due to other things happening and a lack of interest in sports in general. But I'm back, or so to speak, and I'm looking forward to good season, whatever that means.

[Macattk15]

Why are the Twins SO bad? CJ Wilson is gonna no hit em! I'm callin' it.

edit : YES! My JINX worked!

edit 2 : damn. Blackburn with a nice behind-the-back grab.

 

[SoulPlaya]

Has any team in the history of baseball pissed on its fans as much as the Marlins have this year?

What kind of hypocrite says they love Castro, while being a millionaire manager who works for a team that just spent $150 mil? You're like a representative of Capitalism. Thank God that idiot is out of Chicago.

For the guy who was laughing at the Rosenthal tweet, you don't think Selig is going to nail this dude? ESPECIALLY considering where Ozzie is coaching? Dude will be lucky if he doesn't get suspended.

He should be let go, honestly. Can't stand him. I usually am never for letting someone go, but he's pushed his gimmick for too long. That's enough.

 

[LJ11]

Suspended? LOLOLOLOL

 

[Malo]

I would actually be surprised if he gets suspended. I think a fine is far more likely.

 

[clemenx]

Suspended? Fine? I didn't know America was still stuck in the 70s where anything Communist is worst than a rapist.

I'm talking about MLB btw. The Marlins can do whatever the fuck they want with him.

 

[Talon]

I'm pitching my tent in the "who cares" village as well.

But I do understand there will be repercussions, purely as a result of the community where he works.

Meanwhile in Atlanta, our bigoted pitching coach gets off scott fucking free.

 

[Windu]

Meanwhile in Atlanta, our bigoted pitching coach gets off scott fucking free.

he was suspended for 2 weeks without pay as well as fined. And had to go to some sensitivity training and apologize to the family.

 

[Talon]

he was suspended for 2 weeks without pay as well as fined.

So we'll have another 2-3 years without Ozzie saying something idiotic.

 

[darkside31337]

The other Florida team has Luke Scott and Josh Lueke on their team and nobody cares. I don't think anybody has ever been suspended for a DUI or various other actual crimes.

What Ozzie did was stupid and if the Marlins want to punish him then that is their own prerogative and that's totally fine. I honestly don't see the justification of MLB stepping in and doing something about a non-issue.

 

[Doytch]

Suspended? LOLOLOLOL

This.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Ackley DH'ing today? Interesting.

 

[Blearth]

Lincecum, Cain and Bumgarner get beat up

Barry Zito is dealing in Denver

The Giants have scored 21 runs in 4 games

What kind of crazy planet is this?

 

[Malo]

Ackley DH'ing today? Interesting.

Is Montero catching or is he getting the day off?

USS Mariner says Jesus is sick. Surprised they are going with Kawakami at 2B instead of putting a better bat in the lineup.

Fredi Gonzalez's parents wanted him fired. Come on Wren, do it for his parents.

Nunez is slowly becoming the new Cody Ransom.

Remember him, Kev?!

 

[Lambtron]

I hate Mike Scoscia so much you guys.

 

[Sanjuro]

Expecting a giant sea of horny Asian girls, waiting for Yu once this plane lands.

That sucks I was looking forward to him catching.

Daisuke's leftovers.

Which were Irabu's leftovers.

Which were Nomo's leftovers.

poor kei igawa

That's racist. Not all American bound Asian pitchers play like American bound Asian pitchers.

Tazawa. :'(

 

[Corran Horn]

Zito is our ace again. Like he always is at the beginning of the season before he craps out again

 

[clemenx]

No one is broadcasting the Rangers game here. What the shit.

 

[Macattk15]

USS Mariner says Jesus is sick. Surprised they are going with Kawakami at 2B instead of putting a better bat in the lineup.

Maybe that explains why he has been hitting like shit.

Kawasaki has actually faced Darvish in Japan .... he probably has a small advantage than anyone else. I would imagine that is why he is in the line-up.

He DID have a .420 something average in ST!

 

[Kave_Man]

I'm coming home!

Jays opener.

 

[clemenx]

Looooool Zito shutout at Coors Field.

 

[darkside31337]

Zito shutout? In Colorado?

Maybe the Orioles really can win the AL East this year.

 

[h3ro]

Underdog Yanks taking on super power Orioles.

Let's go.

 

[The Elite]

Let's get this Jays game started.

 

[Corran Horn]

First shutout since 2003.

 

[h3ro]

These new 'oldschool' O's caps are dope. I like the new cartoon bird logo.

 

[Lambtron]

Jesus christ I hate this Twins team.

But not as much as I hate Mike Scoscia.

 

[clemenx]

Time to trade Mauer for some prospects and rebuild! Oh wait.

 

[The Elite]

I can feel the classic Jays opening day. What is to be thrown on the field tonight?

 

[Lambtron]

Time to trade Mauer for some prospects and rebuild! Oh wait.

It'll be a lean couple of years, but the Twins will rise again lead by Miguel Sano.

 

[h3ro]

I'd like to see tight-suit come through here and give Nova a lead.

Wishful thinking.

edit: woooo tightsuit!

 

[Parch]

That crowd is really hyped for the Jays opener. Reminds me of the good old days when Skydome was packed for every game. Considering the fair amount of anticipation, this year might see some decent attendance.
