They are so coddled and watched, scientific break downs, bigger faster stronger emphasis. Its just a different age of baseball, with more injuries and less seasons.

I'm assuming the Widowmaker is Dusty? And the thought that Dusty kills pitchers' arms is a bit overblown.

One of the articles I read recently with predictions for the season said "First Manager to be Fired?" One of the guys said, Dusty. Found that humorous.

I wouldn't doubt it. Dusty and Walt don't seem to agree on much lately.

Not on ESPN for Opening Day? I thought it was a sellout?


At least Dusty has Stubbs in the 7 spot to minimize his AB's and subsequently his K's.

I don't think you'll find many Cubs fans who agree with you on that. Right or no, I believe he played no small part in ruining Mark Prior. Shame, that guy could flat out deal. And no, I'm not a Cubbies fan.

Was actually impressed with the pitching today. Could be a good year for the Red Legs.

Go Reds!! Was excited to see it on ESPN2 so I could watch it up here. Really missed watching them last year. Went from watching a TON of games to maybe 5. Might have to spring for the MLB package this year.

Prior and Wood are really the only two names that keep coming up in the debate. Although I'm not Dusty's biggest fan by any means, he hasn't ruined any arms in Cincy, and I don't think he did in San Fran either. Cubs fans are just negative.



I picked my two boys up early from school to prepare for the game today. Not as exciting as last year's opening day, but it was a good one. Back to back wins on Opening Day!

Cueto was excellent, as was Chapman and Marshall. Every starter got on base today.

ESPN home games are blacked out no matter what. (Sunday night might be the one exception.) Sell-outs don't matter in baseball like football. Also, if Fox Sports Cinci carries the game all other stations carrying it will be blacked out as well.

Just got stuck watching it on FSN Ohio. I just don't like hearing the homers talk about how Drew Stubbs is a future Gold Glover and Jay Bruce is going to have 50/100 this season and will be the MVP some day.

I distinctly remember hearing grumblings about his overuse of Livan Hernandez and Rob Nen while he was in San Francisco, but ultimately I don't know enough to make an informed opinion. I do however know just enough to fire off a sarcastic one-liner.

To be fair, he is on pace for 162/324.

I don't mind listening to Thom, but Welsh is terrible.
