2012 MLB Thread

The Mets shouldn't pitch Santana again this year. Let him sit for another year and he can start and have another outing like that next Opening Day.

I know this goes against everything I was saying in here yesterday, but I think that's a great omen for the Jays' season. We already knew last year that with the offence they have, you can't count them out no matter how far behind they are or how late in the game it is. Now they've got a bullpen that won't blow games, and the hitters are all one year better.

You setting your sights on a third place finish instead of fourth, then?

Could be enough for a playoff spot

Intentionally walking the bases loaded only for Carlos Pena to hit a grandslam... nice start for the Yanks.

*mutters*

Rangers had a nice opening day. 13 Ks of the White Sox.

Hey Blitz, how insufferably hot is it at Rangers games? I can get tickets for like $1.70 on Stubhub, so I'll have to go at some point.

It's insufferable now, but it's only going to be larger portions of Ball Soup the later in the season you go.

Kirk Nieuwenhuis called up to replace Andres Torres in center. I knew he'd be roaming the outfield at Citi Field some point this year, I just never expected it to be Game 2 of the regular season. Eager to see what he can do.

The Captain Kirk era has begun.

It's really not that bad right now. If you go during June-July, you'll have a death wish if you go to a day game. A night game is actually really nice, best place to sit is first base side.

Also, if you can score tickets for the home run porch in right field, it's all you can eat seats. So if you spend $30 on the ticket, you'll make your money back real fast.

Great start for Weaver. 8 shutout innings giving up four hits and striking out 10. Angels putting up 4 runs (so far) in the 9th will end up costing him a shutout.

[sahyder1]

We see a lot of bad terrible first pitches but all things considered this has to be one of the best.

Hey I forgot that team used to be one of baseball's best.

[Maxx]

I know the season just started, but I really don't think the Red Sox' new strategy of not scoring runs is going to work out. :/

[DYSI]

They must not play well sober.

[Blitz]

Watching the Angels lose to Kansas City = good day.

Their just using the same strategy they used at the end of last season

[T.J.]

BUCS WIN! On an infield hit!

[Evil Chase K]

Is there any way the Pirates can end the season now and not forfeit the rest of their games?

.500 feels good. Even if it's two games into the season.
