The Opening Day Thread

Happy Opening Day!

What is everyone smoking today? Which game(s) are you watching?

Go Mariners! FTW! (Lee on the disabled list? Why? Maybe it is because his shoulder is pushing the ball to the side of home plate... in the general vicinity of the batter's box?)

Oh yeah...finally, Opening Day is here.

Everyone is in first place today...except the Yankees.

Yankees and the Giants. But mostly the Yankees

I'll be watching SF vs. HOU, Saturday is the parks official "opening day", I'll be there. Their are going to be fireworks and a Cy Young presentation.

shilala · 04-05-2010, 10:36 AM

I haven't picked a game yet. I'll see what's on. I'll probably watch the Pirates.

Starscream · 04-05-2010, 10:36 AM

Cards at Reds. Go Reds!

Ah, nm. Looks like the mariners/giants was a cactus league game. It's just the yankees

I can't wait to see the opening day pitch.

He throws like a girl.

I picked the Mets/Marlins. Damned good game, but the Marlins forgot to show up. They're having a hideous defensive game. Nice to see the Mets kicking ass though.

MiamiE · 04-05-2010, 02:11 PM

Marlins look like crap!

Whoa! And I thought Cy Young was dead!

Now it's Cubs/Braves. Just turned it on and it's sloppy already. Looks like I can get three ballgames in today.

Wait...
There's a 7:00 game and two 10:00 games. I might be able to catch four games today. The cool thing is that I can do whatever I want and drag the game with me. The games look freakin awesome on the ipad. I'm surprised mlb.tv doesn't suck. I really didn't expect much and never imagined it'd be this good.

St. Lou Stu · 04-05-2010, 02:34 PM

Good day for my Cards.
Pujols w/ a 2 HR, 3RBI performance, Carp was lights out (OK, good enough), Yadi finishes off the game with an 'insurance' Grand Slam.
11-6, ahhhhhh.

shilala · 04-05-2010, 02:43 PM

Jason Heyward just stroked a three run shot for Atlanta.
His first major league at bat, against Carlos Zambrano. The kid must be walking on a cloud. His Mom and Dad were there to see it, too.

I have Albert in Fantasy Baseball. 10 total bases and 4 runs and 3 rbi's ain't a bad first game. Sure made me happy. The man is a machine, no doubt.
Imagine how he'd hit if he was on the juice?

SouthernSmoke · 04-05-2010, 04:23 PM

If you're not watching the Braves/Cubs game, you'll kick yourself. The Braves are looking very solid offensively.

MiamiE · 04-05-2010, 04:27 PM

Braves look nasty!

kelmac07 · 04-05-2010, 04:31 PM

Braves look damn good...look out Phillies. And the Mets win.

wolfandwhisky · 04-05-2010, 04:38 PM

AZ is rocking SD... kind of like a triple A team beating up on a single A team... zing!

Drew hit a dinger, which is good to see him get off to a nice start.

I feel like I need to get an MLB package as I can't see the Mariners play today... who wants to cover an Oakland home game? zing again!

...en fuego!
