I hate it when the majority of the games are rained out

Ever since I was going to see Pedro Martinez pitch a Saturday night game against the Rangers last year with seats 4 rows behind home plate that I'll never even come close to again, only for it to get rained out with a day-night doubleheader the next day (meaning I lost my tickets and could only get a refund)...I've felt every stadium should have a retractable roof
![]() Shame that adds hundreds of millions to the cost and would negate the need to ever have double headers. |

also, people are starting to question the way Yankee Stadium was built because it seems to be homerun haven thus far
fucking lazy pop flys are sailing out. probably just due to certain Yankee pitchers throwing sinkers that don't sink though. ![]() |

Has anyone else noticed that Zach Greinke is 3-0 with a 0.00 ERA and 26 Ks?
AAAAAND, he also didn't give up a run his final two starts last season so he's currently thrown 34 consecutive scoreless innings. |

yep, I noticed. This guy came on the radio yesterday and basically said Greinke was nothing special and he could hit off of him. I swear, he wasn't joking around either. he was about 40ish and I guess insane.
but yea, that's an awesome performance thus far. |

Yeah, supposedly its the same dimensions. Although as if RF wasn't already a perfect hitters spot the OF wall seems to be a couple feet shorter. That Posada HR the other day that was contested probably wouldn't have went out in the old stadium.

I read somewhere that Dan Haren was 0-3 with like a 1.30 era and that the d-backs scored like 1 run in his 3 outings.

Speaking of new stadiums, it will always be retarded that there will be no roof in Minnesota.

Mets blow a 4-0 lead as Daniel Murphy continues to be a terrible fielder. I know he's a natural 3B but come on now...Ryan Braun didn't have this bad of a transition...in fact I don't think Braun's committed an error in left.

Apparently there's a theory that the gradual slope of the seats at the stadium creates a launching ramp for wind to shoot out the opening in right field. So it'll be kinda like Wrigley. When the wind is blowing out to right field, balls are going to fly.
And when you look at a picture of the stadium like this, it actually seems feasible. ![]() |

Ryan Doumit out 8-10 weeks. I didn't think my fantasy team could get any worse.

Naitch, what the hell, man. Are you in an NL-only league or something? There's no reason for anyone outside of Pittsburgh to have a Pirate on their team, with the possible exception of Matt Capps. I should know - I've suffered through 2 seasons of Freddy "Dirty" Sanchez, and was free to let someone else draft him this year. In '06 I had to suffer with Adam LaRoche
![]() Oh, BTW, what's up with the Marlins? They let us sweep them out of the building! |

OK, so last year he was out of his skull with a top 10 finish among catchers in HR and RBI, and top 5 in AVG and runs scored. I guess I'm still equating him to the guy that is a career .277 hitter with just over 1 HR per 10 games. He still strikes me as mid-range at best until he can put another season like '08.

yea, this instant replay thing is bogus. both times it was clearly fan interferance and the umps said no. what the fuck? does the fan have to leap over the wall for them to call it?

Reds taking 2 of 3 from the Cubs at Wrigley.
Marty Brennaman said it best. There's nothing quite as satisfying as beating this team at this park and watching these fans shut the hell up. |
