As if someone needs to pay Curt Schilling to get his thoughts

Pumped as hell

Good luck by the way

8:00 is never gonna come. Can't wait to here Jon Miller's voice.

I forgot to ask you Frazor...why are there asterisks after the Red Sox and Dodgers?

I assume because they're the WC teams?

What?

because they are the Wild Card teams.

good call

Can't wait for the Yankees to lose tonight

Giants/Mariners exhibition. What the hell is this crap?

The Orioles don't start til tuesday, which absolutely sucks.

I'm going to see them job to the Red Sox on April 30th-May 2nd

Thats in the middle of a brutal stretch for the Os where they only play the Yankees/Red Sox from April 23 to May 5 and its bookended by a trip to Seattle before and a trip to Minnesota after.

then they do it again June 1-10 with only Yankee/Red Sox games.

I think it's fair to say Baltimore's brutal stretch goes from about early April to early October.

Love that AL East

The Red Sox pretty much have a home crowd at Camden

the 2nd half of May through June could actually be good if the schedule holds true to form:

3 vs Cleveland
2 vs KC
2 @ Texas
3 @ DC
3 vs Oakland
3 @ Toronto

Thats a 16 game span that they should do well in. Leapfrog that 10 day stretch vs Red Sox/Yankees to start June off and then they get:

3 vs NYM
3 @ SF
3 @ SD
3 vs Florida
3 vs DC
3 vs Oakland

This year they are also doing everything they can to encourage
more Os fans to show up even though they raised ticket prices for prime games vs Red Sox/Yankees (doesn't make sense though does it?)

There are like 5 people there for this Giants/Mariners exhibition

Why are they playing a ST game in the rain like that?

It's awful. I guess both teams are bullshit too, because they have 15-20 day schedules after this.

An exhibition in the rain, on opening day. What's the point? It's particularly awful that it's at a real ballpark too.
Lots of awkward silences from the broadcast team

Fucking hate the Yankees

Dr. Dre taking batting practice right now

<font color=goldenrod>Alrighty then, another year of trying to win MLB's Beat the Streak.

*picks Kevin Youkilis tonight due to not wanting to start the year by picking a Yankee*</font>

I went with Victor Martinez

this game might not take 5 hours to play lol

:rofl:

Jorge's homer of the pole.

Ain't Curtis Grand?

Welcome to the Yankees Granderson

I don't like YES' new scoreboard graphic. Put the thing in the corner, not a few inches away from it.

<font color=goldenrod>WOOOOO Youk! 1 game hitting streak in Beat the Streak! :shifty:

Seeing Granderson do something good in his debut with a new team has inspired me to pick Jason Bay for tomorrow.</font>

<font color=goldenrod>lol Angel Hernandez makes a bad call. What a shocker. Dude is probably the worst ump in the majors</font>

Rough start for Beckett on Opening Day. A rare occurance.

Brand new ballgame here, lads.

so much for that brand new ballgame

wtf is that girl doing with Aerosmith, just keeps looking at him

thats his daughter

/awkward

Theres hope for the rest of the AL east if both of these bullpens suck as bad as they're sucking right now
