It's New! It's Improved! It's the Official Annual Off-Topic Baseball Thread!!
Opening Day, baby!!

I'm not big on Opening Night, but at least this year, the Sox didn't have to fly to Japan for regular season games. Unfortunately, they got rained out this afternoon; they'll make it up tomorrow at 4.

More good news: The Yanks are getting killed in Baltimore 10-5 in the 8th. Mick's Tigers are off to a tough start, down 4-0 only 2 innings into the new season. The Cubbies are poised to go 162-0 (they're up 2-0 in the third) and DJ's Mariners open the season without a Putz on the roster for the first time in years. The Pirates, meanwhile, score 4 in the top of the 9th to beat St. Louis.

Personal apologies for the delay in getting the thread started. Real life intruded. Enjoy, and I'll see you all in the chat room tonight for the Men's Final!

If it is improved it is not new. If it is new it is not improved.

I think someone here has that tagline.

I thought Hockey ended a month ago. I guess I am going to have to start paying attention to other sports.

Peace

While watching the MLB network yesterday, only ONE (Sean Casey - I think) even picked the Cardinals to make the playoffs. It looks to be a long season. BUT, there is hope - remember 2006!!

He's one of the talking heads on the MLB network now that his career is finished. I had the pleasure of watching him play in college.

Huh. So one of the commentators on the network owned by MLB is the only one picking the Cardinals. And, I would think MLB would want one of their own to be known as a great prognosticator. Sounds like the perfect setup for a conspiracy.

Once again, the Cubs are being held back from their destiny.

(Yep, we're great with coming up with excuses - we've had 101 years of practice...)
