The MLB '09 Thread: Predictions, Opening Day and all that crap.

[speedracer]

Rays at Red Sox postponed because of rain. Frowny face.

Here's hoping that Joe Biden gets booed at the O's home opener (risking $20 at -150 odds here. Ok, not really, but if some sportsbook offered this prop I'd bet it).

That shit sucks. With our game being canceled I was looking forward to watching Rays/Red Sox instead. Weather can suck it. I guess now I have to watch Mets/Reds. And I'll probably be tuning in to the Cubs opener tonight, too.

Stupid rain.

not so fast... there's no gaurantee that the mets/reds will be played, either.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Damn. I'm just tryin to watch Johan strike out a bunch of people. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.

 

[speedracer]

So Jose Reyes single-handedly sprints his way to third base and gets stranded there. I am sure Headache has never seen this before.

 

[speedracer]

Holy crap. Since when does ESPN display a player's OPS on the screen?

Once they start putting up VORP, we're really in trouble.

In other news, I'm pissed because we don't get the Rangers game on my cable provider. Sometimes I miss DFW.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I'm confused. They are not showing the game on ESPN right now, they're showing ESPNews. I did get to see Stockton, the Admiral and MJ make awkward conversation about getting inducted into the Hall of Fame, though. That was kinda cool.

But where the hell is the baseball?

^Sounds like you're in a blackout market (which makes no sense since its not a Chitown game)

Don't worry, I'm in the same boat when I leave for Penn State. They pick up every Pittsburgh sports channel there, but nothing from Philly. If the Phils are in the thick of the playoff run in September, I'm going to miss it.

Yeah, I don't know what the fuck is going on. Worldwide leader in sports my white ass.

Impy, your boy Elvis Andrus just slapped a double in his first career at bat.

 

[impy13]

Rangers hanging up 4 in the second, RBIs from Kinsler and Salty. Me likey.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

put it in the books.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Johan on pace for 34 wins this year.

 

[speedracer]

Emilio Bonifacio is on pace to hit 200 inside-the-park home runs this year.

 

[RedRocksU2]

Johan is looking as bad as his pants.

 

[Mr. BAW]

Gametime tonight.

3rd row, field level, right-field...
Angels vs. A's...

Got my jersey and old school hat ready...

 

[impy13]

Looks like all that cougar milk helped out Salty. THWACK.

Rangers at the very least tied atop the AL West for at least a day. How sweet it is.

[Headache in a Suitcase]

daniel murphy's on pace for 162 homeruns and 234 RBI

 

[impy13]

And the Rangers and Mets are on pace for 162 wins a piece, meeting each other in a World Series with an infinite amount of innings in Game 1.

 

[phanan]

Red Sox on pace for 162 rainouts.

 

[lazarus]

How about that C.C. Sabathia?

Too bad NSW's not here.

Zambrano breaks his own curse, which one is the next to fall?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, Adam Lind is on pace for 972 RBI this year.

Where is NSW?

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Where is NSW?

I guess he's on one of his self-imposed breaks from the site. Something about how he's going to a bunch of the U2 shows on the first leg in Europe and doesn't want any set lists or anything spoiled for him. I'm sure there's more to it than that but, yeah.

And we are a little over 5 hours away from White Sox 2009. I'm a kid on Christmas morning over here.

some things in sports just look right...
