I really don't get how the White Sox really improved. They still have no proven closer. And why Vazquez is a nice addition to the rotation, his career has been a question mark for the past two years. Not to mention, Frank Thomas, who I think is about as good as Thome, was let go. Thomas for Thome seems like a wash, and then the ChiSox let go of Rowand, who was a legitimate clubhouse leader and a damn good OF to boot. Whole offseason seems like a wash.

Videos are also forthcoming. Aaron Rowand got the biggest and longest ovation I've ever heard at The Cell.

I also quite like this Jim Thome guy. The rings are very, very nice btw. I was surprised.

Dammit Bidge! Lift some weights old man! Send that shit out!

Shit,he's shown more power than Fat Elvis,Moberg,and Plain Lane!

Wilson has shown the power of the stare down.


edit- Andy is pitching like poop.
 
Andy is pitching like he hits.
 
Mig.....look at that Astros hit machine go!

I swear this is my face anytime we get a single...

Jesus Christ, Pettitte fucking sucks. Try not to give up another homer to Josh fucking Willingham, you stiff. On the other side of things, I don't think the Astros could produce five runs in five weeks, especially against a stud like Mitre, so this game's over.

PS Florida is basically a AA team, things are looking really good for the Stros.
 
LMAO :lol

Andy gives up a 3 run blast :lol

Hammerin' Mike Jacobs.

Florida should call in some of their A-ball guys (as opposed to the AA guys they have out there right now) for a little confidence boost/BP.
 
Get the fuck out...Andy almost gave up another hr :\

9-0 Marlins...I CALL 10 RUN MERCY...PLEASE UMPS!

edit- its 10-0.......CALL IT! astros cant even make contact,thats if they ever bat again.
 
Andy Pettitte is a fucking joke, Astros are going to be the worst team in the league once Oswalt breaks down.
 
Looks like The Male Shannon Stewart has RoyBoy's number. Two homers. Chased from the game.

It's too bad most highly-touted pitchers can't be SUPERSTUDS like my man, dark-horse Cy Young candidate Brandon Webb.

EDIT: Holy fuck the Astros have a man on first. Should MLB change the rules such that each base=2 runs for them?
 
Hanging Chad Qualls gives up a hr....this is sad.

11 runs for the AA Marlins....2 hits for the little league Astros.
 
Marlins are loaded with young talent.. got Jacobs in a few fantasy leagues and I was so close to taking Willingham, but instead I took Johjima. I've also got Hermida and Reed in various leagues.. seriously, they're stacked.

Young Talent =/= Good team though (don't know if you were implying that). Devil Rays are loaded with young talent too. I've got Willingham on 2/4 of my teams (other two have Barrett). In fact, most shitty teams besides the Royals are. I wouldn't take this abomination of a performance by the Astros as an indicator either. Also you forgot Hanley.

Anyway, go Penny.
 
Abercrombie is also good -- was disappointed the Dodgers gave him up. I'm just saying they're not a "AA team" because they've got young players who are talented. I bet they'll do well this year if their pitching holds up.

Come on Preston! YEW CAN DEW ET!

No he cant :(

Btw,I now want you to be known as "Sergio's little biznatch" >_<
 
6-3, Jays win in a very solid game from everyone. :D After suffering through Miggy Batista's "guaranteed hightened drama" method of saving games last year watching BJ Ryan make it look quick and easy was great. Doc pitched a great game as usual, the Jays bats got plenty of hits off of Johan Santana on a mediocre night and a pleasingly large crowd in the Rogers Centre is loud and excited for the upcoming season. :rock

What pitching?

Their 1-2-3 is Willis (decent but can't ever rely on him in the second half) Mitre (haha, a guy who had a 4.33 ERA in AAA Iowa in 2005, a career best, before posting a 5.37 ERA after being called up in Chicago) and Moehler, a fill-in starter, and they may have the worst closer in the majors right now in Joe Borowski. Their hitting is decent and is certainly impressive from a young talent standpoint, but their pitching is just flat-out bad, today's performance against a WMLB team aside.

It's too bad they don't get to play the Astros every day.

Jesus, Harden just owned the middle of the fucking lineup.

Yeah, Harden is awesome. I'd like to buy him. The A's pitching development system is so freaking unreal.

Fucking Moose. Already nibbling. Three pitches into the game. Attack attack attack you big blubbering vagina.

EDIT: Heh. He went after him and struck him out. Keep it up.

Yea they even said, "This is why he has high pitch counts after 4 innings"
