only a week until the regular season kicks off. GET STOKED!

holy shit philly has the most epic starting rotation of all time. can't wait. such a relaxing way to spend an evening, not to mention the atmosphere at big games is unreal. loves me a night at the ball diamond.

p.s, go jays.

The Brewers finally have all the pieces to be succesful, hopefully they can piece them all together.

hate.


there you go.


Gotta say, any ns'er who frequents fenway is gonna be blown away by the new screens and renovations they did this year. You would not think that its a 99 year old park. It did take away some of the funny little fenway perks (like the fact that the main gate had a goddamn hill leading up to it from inside the park) but its infinitely nicer.

Jays probably won't make the playoffs this year but it should be fun to watch them develop.


Rotation of Romero, Morrow, Drabek, Cecil and Litsch should be fun to watch. All of them 26 or younger.

Snider should also have a big year at the plate...

Did you get full season or a 15 game package?

My buddies and I were up there on single game ticket sales day and bought tickets for 5 games...we'll buy more as the season goes on.

Can not wait...I'm really excited to see Kyle Gibson (pitching prospect for the Twins) make a debut hopefully in June, and hopefully get to see Luke Huges come up and play some short stop/second base.

Should be a fun season, pitching is a little sketch but with a healthy Morneau and Cuddyer the batting lineup should be able to produce like mad.

Can't wait.

I really can't believe we resigned pavano, last year he put up ok numbers but the dude sported a 3+ era the only reason he had the wins is because of the insane run support we gave him.

Grats to the Jays on dropping bombs just like they did all of last year, lead the league in it...and damn was bautistas a shot.

Hopefully tomorrow the Twins rebound with Franky on the mound, if his slider is on should be a 8k+ game...if it's off the Jays will take another one.

yeah and fucking hernandez still beasting it up. lets in a pair early and then completely dominates the game for the complete game victory

i love the way the jays have crazy offensive firepower this year, but that starting rotation of 5 young, inexperienced dudes scares me. no confidence in these guys at all. freaking halladay COME HOME!!

FUCK THE DODGERS! Back to back losses for the G-men. I'm a die hard Giants fan, but I just don't see this being a successful season for them. I hate to say it, but there's just way too much hype around them now.

A close one, and not so pretty but a win is a win...and of course Nathan makes it as sketchy as possible, just like always.

Good to get the first W out of the way, now time to play the Yankees...

I like the O's...and honestly if their pitching can keep it close, they have a line up that can score runs.

Fuck the Yankees! Any team could be just as good if they had the highest payroll and could be all the star players. There is only a few players I like on that team. But hopefully the Tigers can pull it together this year! and i will be watching a lot of the Rockies since I live in CO now.
