2008 MLB Season

Sweep! Take that Mets and your All-Star pitcher.

Indeed. Santana had a great outing, but Old Man Smoltzie outpitched him for the 5 innings he was out there, (and pitching with a sore shoulder nonetheless). After 6 games and a sweep of the Mets, I'm feeling pretty good about this year's team thus far. But, baseball's a marathon. Who knows what's gonna happen at this point and moving on into the summer months.

As long as the Mutts don't win the division this year, I'll be happy.

I'd actually like to see the Nationals win it this year because I don't hate them.

So after watching the Giants get absolutely shelled yesterday I am seriously wondering if they are bad enough to compete with the 2003 Tigers and snag themselves 120+ losses. I mean seriously, this team is absolutely dreadful. What a fall from grace they have had in the last few years.

You can't blame them for getting shelled yesterday... well, maybe you can blame Zito for giving up those homers. Still, better men have went down to Sheets' pitching looking like fools. He had his A-game, like when he was giving Soriano fits in the opener.

Don't worry, 1/27th of the way through the season and you have more wins than the Tigers.

How in the hell does Joe Borowski keep a spot on a major league roster? Better yet, how in the hell did that guy lead the league in saves last year? I think the game winning bomb Torii Hunter just hit off Borowski landed somewhere in the Pacific Ocean...if at all. It may be in orbit. The Indians can forget winning it all as long as that rag-armed stiff is their closer.

Somehow explain to me how the Nationals drew just over 20,000 to the SECOND game at their brand-new stadium. That is just ridiculous.

People are more excited about the Capitals making the playoffs? ^_^

That team is cursed! Montreal didn't want it, and Washington D.C. doesn't want it. That is one unloved franchise.

Probably it being 1) a mid week game

2) Not against a Division rival

and 3) the Orioles off to a hot start and having a home game that night.

4) It appears to have been cold and a little wet.

5) The team's on losing streak.

6) Florida, which is a division rival BTW, is supposed to blow and nobody wants to watch them.

They are truly awful but I'm figuring about 56-106 might do it.

So? 79 more chances to see the Nationals play at the stadium this year. You might even be on TV then.

I'm going to guess this is the lowest attended second game at a new park since the 70s.

The 70s? Wasn't that the last time (before this current franchise :P) a MLB team relocated?

I can't remember what market it was though that lost their team...

The Seattle Pilots were the last US-based team to relocate.
