Opening Day!! Other Thread

[Cubswin11]

Rickie Weeks is going to have a monster [expletive] year if he stays healthy

[cheapseats]

That is definitely the best use of Brandon Phillips in the first inning with nobody out and a runner in scoring position of the first game of the year.

 

Don't forget down by three runs. :good:

Ah yes, good old Dustyball.

MLB.com's "Gameday" feature got a facelift, including digital renderings of every ballpark in MLB. That Great American Ballpark is depicted as being about 1/3 full on opening day demonstrates their dedication to realism.

BASEBALL!

 

MLB decided to ruin what is usually a great day and split up opening day. So here is Opening Day 2011 (Pt.1)

 

Atlanta (Lowe) @ Washington (Hernandez) - 1:05pm ET 
Detroit (Verlander) @ NY Yankees(Sabathia) - 1:05pm ET - ESPN
Milwaukee (Gallardo) @ Cincinnati (Volquez) - 2:10pm ET 
LA Angles (Weaver) @ Kansas City (Hochevar) - 4:10pm ET
San Diego (Stauffer) @ St. Louis (Carpenter) - 4:15pm ET - ESPN
San Francisco (Lincecum) @ LA Dodgers (Kershaw) - 8:00pm ET - ESPN

 

What's not to like? This is the first of four days in a row with games coming on all day long.

Chopsticks at Yankee stadium? What ever happened to a dog or Brats?

[JonJayCutler]

Go Reds and Padres.

I love opening week, because it offers the best time for people to make huge kneejerk reactions based on wildly small sample sizes.

 

Like Austin Jackson, on pace for over 400 strikeouts.

STEALING OUR JOBS, STEALING OUR FOOD.

The new Gameday looks awesome. How much longer until the batter actually starts moving?

[mookie]

Theriot's little [expletive] ass just lined out.

 

I can't wait to see him get plunked.

Al Hrabosky on Ryan Theriot:

 

Fundamentally sound, knows what it's like to play on a champion, grinder

[Formerly Snayke]

Rasmus just took an extra base on Venable's screw-up in right field. The Ryan Theriot Effect is already working!

[Formerly Snayke]

The season is 25 minutes old and Hrabosky has already worn me down.

[Formerly Snayke]

All these high character guys on the Cardinals make me want to go clean up my local park.

[Formerly Snayke]

Schumaker strikes out, but thanks to Chemistryball, he reaches first base.

 

God this feels good.

Having Theriot on the team should help take Pujols to a whole new level of excellence.

[Formerly Snayke]

BASE HIT, RYAN THERIOT!!!

 

UMAD?

[J.R.]

The Padres ditched their "sand" road uniforms. Sad.

[Formerly Snayke]

Double Plajols.

[Cubswin11]

Pujols apparently can't wait to get to Chicago soon enough. :wink:

[Hairyducked Idiot]

BASE HIT, RYAN THERIOT!!!

 

UMAD?

 

LaRussa told him to do that.

[Formerly Snayke]

String together three singles and Berkman waddles home.

[Cubswin11]

Brewers close to imploding

[Friendly Confines]

Brewers close to imploding

 

who are you guys rooting for in this game?
