I kept reading this as "sober friendly" and I was like...yeah, I don't like the drug threads either!

I've always said baseball is more of a stats thing. Helps one appreciate the consistency the greats dispay when it comes to having the odds on their side.

I really have to stress that I mean "sober" as in "realistic" rather than "not drunk". I'm already drinking my way through this season.

Sounds like a safe bet.
Well that's something that you don't want to see.

In all my years as a forum-dweller, I've never known a poster who so many people have a hard on for than ez.
Being loud and brash and seemingly not giving a fuck attracts attention.

I'm the only self-loathing fan of his in my circle of friends. They all believe he's innocent of wrongdoing, and their naïveté brings a tear to my eye. ;_;
Surely we've had better? Opening day should have had some really good ones. I mean, it's definitely a good matchup. I guess it depends how much you like Cueto.
Pretty much this.
Honestly, the only one that's probably been better is Cain vs. Kershaw on opening day. Otherwise, there hasn't been too many great matchups.
Well, no, I think there have been a few great ones, but I see guys like Stras and Kershaw and Cain as being on a higher tier. Compared to Stras-Cueto or Kersh-Cain, you're not going to get any better than that by default.
Speaking of pitching porn, Jose Fernandez makes his debut today!
Yeah, I just went back and checked and I think you're right. Actually, Verlander vs Sabathia as well (there was no reason think C.C. was going to be awful, was there?). Shields vs Sale also stands out... Sale is really fucking good. But Kershaw vs. Cain is the only one that's definitely better, I think. Weird how many teams' number ones are people I wouldn't consider aces.
Why would I go apeshit crazy? Did you see my predictions? I expect them to finish 4th in the division. If they finish behind the Cubs it's not like its some terrible disappointment.
I have no clue who you are or who you root for but I'm glad I can make you happy!

Gonna suck that Fernandez will always have oon his resume: lost debut to Aaron fucking Laffey.
Yu vs Weaver should be good today
I am not looking forward to facing him today for some reason. Maybe it's because Laffey, or it's because it just seems like the Mets aren't very successful in recent years against young, inexperienced stud pitchers. Hopefully the Mets will threaten him enough to shake him up a bit and cause him to make a mistake.

So to the shock of nobody, Cubs have announced Carlos Marmol is no longer the closer and the save chances for the immediate future will be going to Kyuji Fujikawa.
That didn't take long.

Move the Mets to Tampa.
Make the Cyclones the NY NL MLB team.
Move the Rays to Montreal and get the Expos history from Montreal.
Everyone wins!
Dale Sveum took a week longer than every other baseball observer to realize he was making a huge mistake.

Vancouver would be a better choice than Montreal. The Quebecois give zero shits about baseball.
Don't think Vancouver would do any better. The only thing that matters here is the Canucks. Most people don't even know the basic rules of the game...
In that scenario Tampa Bay still has a team in the end though.
They gave more shits than some fan bases. 1994 World Championship banner. Vancouver has the Mariners anyway.
Rays arent going anywhere lol

Article from March of this year talking about the Rays tv numbers
The problem is that nobody wants to go to the Trop because the stadium is in the worst possible location and is falling apart as well.
Shame that Loria had to pull that stadium nonsense with the Marlins and essentially ruin the possibility of any public financed stadium for the rest of the state.

As awesome as it would be to have a team in Montreal -- I'm in Ottawa, so we haven't had pro baseball here in a few years, and Montreal is close enough that I could at least go to some games -- I just can't root for another city to lose its team. The Rays may not have many fans, but the people who do go are obviously diehards, and it would suck for them to have their team taken away.
In other words, expansion would be awesome, and it would do away with year-round interleague! (Though the downside is that the Montreal team would be NL, and I'm not sure I could deal with year-round DH-less baseball.)
