2012 MLB Thread

[Your Mom]

I'm really happy for Hamilton. After that problem in the off season I was a little worried things would be going badly this year.

[Blitz]

Going to Houston this weekend to see the Astros vs Rangers and get a Nolan Ryan bobble head.

Anyone else get out to any good games lately?

[Maxx]

I think I'm going to try and go to one of the games in the Rangers/Blue Jays next weekend. Pretty sure Darvish will be on the mound for one of them.

[Damian WayLNKe]

I'm trying to go down to D.C. with some friends to see Strasburg vs. Chen on Sunday.

[Blitz]

I really wanna see Washington soon. I had taken a trip up there last year with my dad to see Washington, Baltimore and Philly, but the whole earthquake/hurricane thing threw off our plans.

Seeing Strasburg AND Harper in the same game would be awesome.

[Maxx]

I figure I'll also inevitably end up going to see Red Sox/Rangers, as it's a midweek series so tickets should be cheap.

Orioles-Nationals series starts tomorrow with both teams in first place for obviously the first time since the poorly named Beltway Series (there's 2 beltways and neither team plays very close to them, Parkway Series is more apropriate) began being held. I'm excited to see how many sellouts both DC and Baltimore can get.

Also, on the note of Baltimore, it's great to see the O's beat up on the subpar and mediocre tfeams on the schedule for the first time since the nice run at the start of 05. They're likely playing their best ball now and will slow down/slump at some point but it's truly been a blast the first quarter of the year. I've never had so much fun as an Oriole fan as I have had the last few weeks. 81 wins this year would be enough for me to pop some champagne and celebrate.

But alas we've still got a long year ahead of us, lack of depth among starting pitchers, and nobody at the corner infield positions.

You mean Chris Davis and Mark Reynolds doesn't cut it for you? .

Blue Jays' record in 2012 in games in which Adam Lind is in AAA: 1-0

And Nick Johnson at DH baby! It's a 1-2-3 punch out.

[Meacon Keaton]

Does Johnson still have his porn star 'stache?

[Ananas]

Yan Gomes became the first Brazilian born player in Major League history tonight. Given the amount of money that has been spent recently in setting up baseball camps in that country, this could be an interesting footnote.

[Your Mom]

Kerry Wood is announcing his retirement today

[gunnar hendershow]

He went out with a K.

[sahyder1]

Verlander has yet another no-hitter going through 8. 12 strikeouts.

We have been awful for 20 years now. But at least we've never been no-hit during that time span.

How? I don't know. Especially when we field a team with four guys hitting under .200

I doubt he jinxed it. People were tweeting about the no hitter since the 4th inning.

EDIT: Funny Verlander post-game moment
