Boy the Yankees got embarassed in there home opener by The Tribe.

:)

Indians-22 Yankees-4 What in the world is going on with the Bronx Bombers?

Humm. Maybe their new stadium has something to do with it :) Or...could it be the

David Ortiz No. 34 jersey that was buried under the New York Yankees' new stadium ???? :)

It looks like NY is going to be able to pull in every left-handed free agent hitter for the next twenty years. I know the dimensions are supposed to be the same as the old Yankee stadium, but apparently that right field line is a left-handed pull-hitter's dream!

I agree Stonecutter.Your Orioles have been very competetive so far. You been an O's fan all your life? I remember those great Oriole teams with Brooks, Boog Powell, Belanger, Blair, Palmer, McNally and the rest...Earl Weaver was a character. That Adam Jones is a good looking young outfielder.

Thanks DBG, I'm probably dating myself here, but yes, I have been a big O's fan ever since I started watching sports at about age 7. I grew up as a huge Cal Ripken fan (still am) and I was a real big Mike Mussina fan too. When he went to the Yanks it hurt. Like a foolish young man, I thought he was going to be an Oriole forever.

I have studied up on Oriole history my whole life - although not as much since I started college. I would have loved to be able to see the guys from the 60's and 70's play - especially Frank Robinson. In hindsight, he seems to be more of a "baseball" legend than an Oriole or Red legend. Palmer would have been really cool too. And I'd give anything to have seen Weaver in his prime - although from the looks of it Pinella in the 90's was pretty close!

As far as this year's team goes, you're right - Adam Jones is a future All Star. I think we have a solid young nucleus of hitters, now it is just a matter of bringing in some good young pitching.

Well, that was fun. O's swept in a four game series by the BoSox. The icing was today's 12-1 azz whopin'

Hey Red Sox, thanks for letting us play with the big boys. Maybe one day Oriole fans will have their very own major league team to root for.

Any of you guys/gals into fantasy sports? I love fantasy baseball and have been playing since 2003. I also love fantasy football. I prefer the Yahoo leagues and I also play in sone ESPN leagues. I have been commisioner of Yahoo baseball and football leagues for years. Always looking for teams so let me know when football season comes along!

My Red Sox on a roll...

Reds in 2nd place and tied with the Pirates at 9-6! :)

I played in the GOLO fantasy football league last year and lost in the finals to Full_Decker. I stood a good chance of winning, but Chris Johnson sat out the final week, so that cost me big time. Either way, it was a lot of fun. I would completely be down with doing a GOLO league again next year - maybe we could even have a live draft somewhere local.

I have never done a fantasy baseball league because I thought it would be too involved. Is it the sort of thing that you have to update everyday?

Yes fantasy baseball is more time consuming than fantasy football. You have got to make sure your players are in the lineup on any given night and make sure your pitchers are pitching. On Yahoo you can set your lineup a week or more in advance. But injuries or if a player gets a day off you really need to check nightly to be good at it...I'm fairly new to Golo so i did not know they had fantasy football league, I will have to check it out.

How 'bout them sox? Youk....we love ya man :)

Yeah! Go Bosox, what a game!!!

Sox/Yanks in slugfest today...Mike Lowell with 6 RBI...

White Sox over Blue Jays last night 10 to 2!

Sox sweep the Yanks ya hooooo :) ♫♫ doot doot doot~~doot doot doot~~doot doot doot~~doot doot doot~~ ♫♫ I'm gonna tell you a story ♫♫

♫♫Down by the river Charles♫♫ ♫♫Well, I love that dirty water~~~~~~♫♫ BOSTON YOU"RE MY HOME!!!!!!!!!

GO SOX :)

The sweep...Bosox looking good!

hahaha╔╗╔═╦╗ hahaha hahaha║╚╣║║╚╗hahaha hahaha╚═╩═╩═╝hahaha Love dem Sox :)

Congrats to the BoSox. Looks like right now they are hands down the best of the AL East. Gotta love to see the Yankees get swept, even if it is by the Sox. (The Mussina betrayal still burns)

My O's need a win tonight against Texas to split that series. Has anyone else looked ahead at their teams schedule? I don't know if Baltimore is getting dumped on because the are a bottom feeder or if it is just a scheduling quirk, but we have three different two-game series in the next two weeks. Has anyone else seen this?

Yes that is kind of weird, I just looked at the O's schedule and saw the 2 game series. I also looked at the Bosox upcoming schedule and in early May they have a 2 game series with the Yankees and another 2 gamer with Cleveland. Maybe it's an early season thing? It's usually a 3 or 4 game series...

Doggone it ...Reds slipping to 4th place at 10-9 ...wish they'd start to buck UP and learn to hold their ground!

DBG - I dunno, i thought the same thing. Oh well, roll with the punches. Just like the O's rolled over last night. They were leading 4-0, ended up losing 6-4. Having no pitching kills us every year. Ugh.

Skywatch - sorry about your Reds. They have a lot of good young players just starting to come into their own from what I understand. Since you are a NL Central fan, what in the world is the deal with the Pirates? Also, you have to know the Cubs will be back to form soon.

Does anyone with Time Warner Cable watch the MLB channel? 268 in HD I think. It's actually pretty cool, they broadcast portions of different games while the studio crew discusses what is happening. Kind of like if Baseball Tonight were able to check in and show live games. The broadcast also answers the question of what happened to Harold Reynolds.

Hey Das! :)

St. Louis 14 6 Pittsburgh 11 8 Cincinnati 10 9 Chicago 9 9

Yes Stonecutter the new MLB channel is awesome. All Baseball! I use to like Harold Reynolds on Baseball Tonight but he was fired from ESPN and glad to see he is back...

Do any of y'all go to Bulls or Mudcats' games? I haven't been this season, but want to check some games out before the dog days of summer hit!

My wife and I usually go to a couple of Bulls games a summer. What a great ballpark! We plan on going Memorial Day weekend. I never have been to a Mudcats game. What is Five County Stadium like?

Five County is small, but in a cozy way. It is a fun place to watch a game. There is one gravel parking lot outside the stadium where in my experience there is always plenty of room to park. You can request your seat at the ticket window, and I've always managed to put myself on the front row near first or third base, even up to about 20 minutes before the game. The scoreboard is actually pretty nice, nothing like you would see at for example a high school game. Food and beverages are pretty cheap (for a baseball game), and the vendors have always been friendly even when it is hot out. I have never seen any fan act overly obnoxious, which is a little surprising because "that guy" always seems to be around no matter what sporting event you go to. So I would say it is very safe to bring the family - and even if a fan were being obnoxious around you, I would wager that they would move him or let you move to a better seat.

Cont'd...

More importantly, Five County truly has that quality that is unique to minor league ballparks. You are right on top of the action, the players are close enough for you to talk to (or razz, if that's your thing), you see the defensive moves that happen before a pitch that you normally don't see on TV, it's just got that "feel" of watching an uncorrupted baseball game.

Anyway, that's just how I feel about it. I think it is a really fun place to spend an evening with family and friends. And for what it's worth I've taken several friends who would not consider themselves baseball fans, but all have come away having enjoyed the evening.

I've been to a couple of Mudcats games and enjoyed them! :)

One of two games I went to ...my niece sang the National Anthem! :)

skywatch, thats impressive!!

Hey Skywatch, great game pitched by Volquez last night. One hitter!

Was truly awesome, Das! :D

skywatch, thats impressive!!

Yes, we are so proud of her and it was a neat once-in-a-lifetime occasion for us all! :)

//comes in pouting// still wondering what happened to my BoSox :'(. Even Bays game was off last night.We have three games left in St Petersburg, ouch..

Beckett is not the same pitcher he was a couple of years ago, I wonder if his arm is ok? It makes you wonder. As a Bosox fan I really miss Curt Schilling...

What's up Stonecutter? Thanks for the info on Five County Stadium! I will have to check it out this spring or summer...

DukeBlueGuru, I agree with part of what you say about Beckett's arm, but, it's like a known that we say, he's not consistent and...wonder what he'll bring to the game today :( Not sure who they could use as a starter but i'm thinking Francona needs to go to the drawing board on that one.I really miss Curt Schilling too. As far as Ortiz....:(, I like big Papi but I honestly believe it's time for him to be gone, from Boston anyway. They need some younger blood,I mean Bay is awesome but, he's only as good as the other players...Don't get me wrong, I like Terry F but, I also see him as being a lil passive...like leaving Beckett on the mound so long, lol, TB has his number....(my husband disagrees...that's nothing new rotfl) Well anyway...still a die hard here :)

Yes Ortiz wrist is not well, I firmly believe that no matter what they say plus he is getting older...But the thing I like about Theo Epstein is he keeps mixing young talent with the veterans...Ellsbury, Youkilis, Pedroia, Lowry, Papelbon, Bay, Masterson, etc...with veterans like my boy Lowell, Ortiz, Wakefield, Drew...:-)

Dang I love the Sox :)

GO White Sox!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, Rose, et me clear the color of SOX here.........RED!!!:)

Go tube Sox! ;)

Love you, Karen!

Right back at cha Rose ;)....even though you are a Caniac :)...Actually the Canes don't bother me it's just I love everything about Boston.But, your Canes were l@@king very serious last night...uh oh for me..

Hey everyone, hope you all had a good weekend. My O's of course did not. We are struggling. Lost six in a row and 14 of 17. Don't worry BoSox fans, at least you get to spring back against the Yankees tonight!

Go Canes! LOL, I get the feeling my boss is going to say something about my playoff beard soon! :)
