Cold weather in New York tonight...

So Dickey won't be able to make his knuckleball move and Pineda won't be able to grip the ball without pine tar.

Bad weather all over the midwest and northeast today. I do give MLB credit for scheduling lots of games in domes (MIA, MIL, ARI, TB, SEA, HOU) and in Cali. Not perfect (Toronto @ NYY instead of the reverse is an easy fix, LAA is on the road) but probably the best they could have done if they wanted to play mostly division games.

You wouldn't want both teams in the two-team California markets hosting their home openers on the same day.

mlb tv is so damn ####### sweet

I love it, stream it through my roku. Unfortunately Latos was in my lineup yesterday. That was horrifying to watch.

Also, teams should get to have Opening Day at home every other season. It would suck if they limited that to dome teams and warm weather teams. It's definitely worth the "price" of a slimmed down Tuesday schedule and maybe a rainout or two later in the the week to let all baseball fans experience it regularly.

And to ensure state and local law enforcement are meeting their DUI quotas.

 

[MAC_32]

Thank you, MLB. For having one day of afternoon-less baseball. I'm going to enjoy the rest of this week even more now.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Just saw that Harrison got an extension with Pittsburgh--Has there been a lot more this year than in years past? Seems like it

 

[Frostillicus]

We're only two innings in, but Anibal has a no-hitterish feel to him so far.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Aaron Harang is dealing, so far. 6K in three innings.

 

[jamny]

yeah, that k zone is really annoying.

 

[MAC_32]

Aaron Harang is dealing, so far. 6K in three innings.

Didnt he do this last April too?

 

[Eephus]

Aaron Harang is dealing, so far. 6K in three innings.

Amaro will sign him to a five-year extension during the bottom of the inning

 

[Limp Ditka]

Because giving up 3 run jacks to Frenchy is what $20m per pitchers do

 

[the moops]

Just because I am bored.

Frenchy has hit homeruns off 20 million dollar pitchers Hamels, Scherzer, and Verlander.

When they were actually making $20m per?

Porcello is only making 12.5 this year

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Phillies are trying to throw this game I think.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

Panda looks like ### against LHP and we leave Giles in to face him after loading the bases and giving up a run.

 

[bigmarc27]

1st place Atlanta Braves! Wooooo!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Cashner no bueno

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

KC and the White Sox approaching three and a half hours of game-time as they enter the ninth.

 

[Frostillicus]

When do the Twins start?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Who is Mark Canha?

 

[Frostillicus]

Who is Mark Canha?

I think he owns the Mavs.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

When do the Twins start?

Hopefully not until Friday.

 

[Frostillicus]

Can you guys let them score? Just win like, 6-1 or something? I think they really need it.

 

[rodg12]

Cashner no bueno

#### show was epitomized by walking freaking Brandon McCarthy.

 

[Peyton Marino]

Latroy picks up the W!

 

[MAC_32]

Adrian Gonzalez is having a decent start.

 

[fdas2]

Adrian Gonzalez with his 3rd homer of the night

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Cashner no bueno

So if a guy homers on you in his first two at bats, is it considered shtick to throw him a belt-high fastball on his third at bat????

 

[Raider Nation]

Why are these idiot fans in Cincy howling at the moon? No offense, shuke.

I was sure I owned him on two or three of my teams, but I just looked and only own him in one. I know I targeted him in everyone though, oof.

I do have Agone on two though. Give, take.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I remember watching Clint Hurdle play for the Royals at Tiger Stadium when I was a kid. Just heard he had both his hips replaced in the off-season, depressing for him and me alike.

 

[Raider Nation]

What are the chances Hamilton is gonna try to swipe 2nd here?

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Todd Marinovich to Meryvn Fernandez.

 

[Raider Nation]

Gonzo is 10-for-13 on the season.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Gonzo is 10-for-13 on the season.

2.846 OPS

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Rangers are dead man walking. What a disaster.

 

[Encyclopedia Brown]

Let's see if Votto will swing at a pitch that is more than a centimeter out of the strike zone.

 

[Raider Nation]

Bonus Cantos!

 

[Raider Nation]

And of course these teams play at 12:35 tomorrow afternoon.

Somebody wake me up at 1pm. Gotta have a front-row seat for Harvey vs. Strasburg.

Damn, I didn't realize that was an afternoon start. Oh well, guess I'll catch the highlights.

 

[ffldrew]

Cargo gets a hold of one

 

[shuke]

Why are these idiot fans in Cincy howling at the moon? No offense, shuke.

Started about 4 years ago. Late rain delayed game, and the Reds broadcast kept showing this drunk guy in stands yelling "WOOOOOOO". Original footage is hilarious, but I am having trouble finding it.

Then people started doing it ironically at the game, and it's taken on a life of its own.

I like how he stopped doing his yard work to sing that song
