So who's ready for Spring Training? First game for the Sox is March 5th vs. LA Dodgers.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

As ready as I'm gonna be for this year. At least on opening day, my Mets will be in first place. Won't be able to say that the rest of the year. :bh :bh

Well I'm hoping for a full blown disaster in Detriot for my Sox to do anything:r

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Because I'm too lazy to look it up, how far did they move the fences in? Also, were they lowered any?

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

The Mets are moving in portions of the outfield wall at Citi Field as much as 12feet and lowering the height of the home run line to 8 feet throughout the outfield. The outfield wall will become blue in 2012 concurrent with the Mets 50th Anniversary season. The home run line and distance markers will remain orange.

The Mets will erect a new wall in leftfield starting between the New Era and Caesars signs and angled to the Citi sign in left-centerfield (see renderings below). The new wall will be closer to home plate by approximately 4 feet in leftfield and up to approximately 12 feet in deep left-centerfield.

A new wall will start in right-centerfield and extend toward the bullpen, and be as much as approximately 11 feet closer to home plate. The fence in front of the Mo's Zone/Modell's Clubhouse will move in approximately 10 feet. The distances from home plate to centerfield and the foul poles in leftfield and rightfield will remain the same.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Rangers 4-1, Darvish and Feliz both got W's in their first outings as starters. The boomsticks are picking up where they left off.

Re: MLB 2012 Thread
 

Unreal. JV was rolling a 1-hitter coming into the 9th. What a let down.

That sucks, but what better opportunity than ever to have a uniform with Billy Dee Williams holding a 40 oz. Colt 45 right on the center!:banger
