Peef Wellington finds something to complain about in the Phillies rotation

The Phillies went to Florida for spring training while Heavy B went to Arizona. Not to play in the Cactus League, mind you, but to "train" with Donovan McNabb.

Boom Tish.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Didn't realize there was a new thread. Thanks!

You got it! We got a nail biter in the Bronx.

 

[CTU2fan]

Have the Phillies made any plans to hold a Luis Castillo Day? Guest speakers, jersey retirement, commemorative bobblehead?

A Text Message from Teixeira!!!

 

[PhilsFan]

Yes, they held a Luis Castillo Release Day yesterday. They tore up his contract and used it as confetti after Heavy B ran through a couple platters.

First Opening Day on a Thursday since 1976.

 

[MrPryck2U]

Nothing like an Opening Day "W"!

 

[gump]

Good first win to start the season. That's probably the recipe for this year: 6 good innings from a starter and leave the rest for the bullpen.

 

[phanan]

The obvious question will be, aside from Sabathia, how many "6 good innings from a starter" the Yankees can get.

 

[gump]

Yeah, that's certainly the main question mark. But while on paper the rotation doesn't look too good I have a gut feeling that they will be fine after all.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I did wear my Mets hat today... that's enthusiasm, right? Sure its raining... but hey... Mets fever!

 

[MrPryck2U]

I think it was 1986 or about that time, but I remember when the Mets' slogan was "Baseball like it oughta be!". Ahh, the good old days.

 

[Hewson]

Through 5 innings, Roy Halladay hase given up 3 hits, 2 of them to opposing pitcher Brett "I love my wife" Myers.
Astros should consider DH'ing Myers in interleague games.

Starlin Castro is the youngest Cub to start on Opening Day since 1962, and what's he do in his first at bat? Singles and then hustles it in on a wild pitch. Very nice.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I do have to admit that Starlin is a pretty cool cat. Probably my favorite current Cub.

 

[bono_212]

I'm still a big Byrd fan (clearly), but I'm very excited about the "new" aspects of the lineup this season. Maybe not to have an impact on this season, but the future.

 

[phanan]

Finally, I can stop hearing about all the glorified Red Sox predictions and watch them play.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Oh, Fausto Carmona, hello. Sorry about that.

Oh, excuse me, Adam Dunn, welcome to the American League.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Holy shit.

 

[phanan]

It's going to be a long year in Cleveland.

 

[iron yuppie]

Yikes. Cleveland baseball continues its downward spiral.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

I can barely contain myself. Best opening day ever. It's time to start drinking.

Wow.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

And here I thought the Mets started at 4:00.

NL closers not doing too well so far.
