Mariner's at Oakland for me tonight. We'll pick up some hotdogs to have for dinner on the way home.

Awesome - go Mariners! I'm watching the Houston/SF game now. Lincecum is sharp... tried to pick him up on the fantasy team, no luck, also Kershaw with no luck.

But, ended up with Cliff Lee and Felix the Cat (again, Go Mariners!), Strasburg, and then a couple of decent pitchers to round it out.

I need Lee to get back in and Strasburg to come up... and it could be a good season. Bats need some improvement though - maybe for next season... although Rasmus had a good start.

I managed to get three games in today and a Padron 80th maduro.
Not a bad day.
I'm gonna grab a shower and fall asleep watching game number four.

A nice opening day game for the Giants.

Great day for Chicago! White Sox that is. Hopefully they can have a good year.

Yesterday I watched the Yanks lose a tough game, today I watched the Phillies just destroy the Nats. Also watched the Tigers beat the Royals. Fun day, already ordered the season package so i'll be getting 80 games a week

I would have liked to, but I only had that free trial and my choices were limited. I will be as of tomorrow, I think it should kick in by then. Can't wait to see some central division games, gonna be some good close baseball I think. Saw the highlights of the game, Buehlre looked really good.

Today actually worked out, saw a bunch of ex yanks in action. Got to see Bruney pitch with the Nats, and saw Damon and Jackson in action with the Tigers.

Kotchman rules! Go Seattle!

Woo hoo! Mariner Victory! With 4 Oakland errors it may have not been a pretty win, but it was a win nonetheless...

Despite the Reds losing, it was a good opening day all around.

I'm just now catching the condensed game from Sunday where the Sox paddled the Yanks. The Yanks were really bringing it for the first 5. I'm excited to see how they managed to lose. My guess is that they relied too heavy on their pitching to do what they're supposed to.
I haven't looked at the pitching changes the Yanks made in the offseason. It's tough to bring all the same pitching back the next year with the level of talent they play against. Not sure if that's the case, but I'm gonna find out.
