Well, I was right about the Reds scoring only 1 run today.
Not my fault the Mets lineup can only manage a pathetic 2 runs against them tho. Nevertheless, a win is a win. Mets'll sweep. Reds will start the season 0-3.
Meanwhile, Cubs'll sweep and they'll start the season with a 3 game lead over the Reds. BTW, where's Margesschottman111...?

Put it this way: a lead-off hitter doesn't go Sammy-Sosa-swinging-for-the-fences and the way the ChiSox choked against the Dodgers in the playoffs last year was enough for me. Soriano is going to fail, fail, and more fail at the top of the order.

Because the Twins were sucking big time on all the lemons last night. They need to burn their '82 throwback uniforms.
oops
One game means squat...he does not have the plate discipline to be a leadoff man.

I don't think this is our year, but next year when some of these young guys mature we will be a solid contender (I can't believe I'm saying that and meaning it).
Oh and I would start bitching about Dusty Baker, but you guys don't want to hear it and what's the point anyways
I think if we have a slow start he'll be gone by the All-Star break

Not sure if he the trainer too. I did see him sprint over to Felix after he came up limp when his cleat got snagged in the rug. But, after all of the ankle injuries he has had, you need to keep your crown jewel copesedic.

That said, King Felix looked bad ass last night, and if he can keep his head straight he definitely has the talent and stuff to win the Cy. Felix's biggest enemy is himself. He was dealing last night on a bum ankle.

Morrow looked great for two batters, then his command just deserted him. He's finding out that closing is harder than it looks. He had similar struggles at times last year.

Speaking of the M's. I am going to a couple of their games next month. May 4/5. Never been to SAFECO before, I am going to try and work in a tour of the ballpark, since I work for the company who built it.

That'll be sweet. I'm catching two of the three games against the Giants at the end of May. You will love the place. Definitely get there early so you can really soak the place up. A tour sounds like a great way to do that. It's a special ballpark.
Nice avie, BTW.

More Safeco: One of my favorite things about the park, besides it being one of the best baseball venues ever, is how beautifully integrated it is in the surrounding city infrastructure. It is so cool to just walk up to the park at street level and just walk inside and see the field. No lung busting hike, it's just right there. Step in, grab a beer and enjoy some big league baseball.
