floydnimrod Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Had two classes cancelled for Opening Day today in Cincinnati, and skipped another so I could be home.Don't know if it can top this: (which I watched between classes on mlb.com's Gameday thing)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tWDCN_cP7YRamon Hernandez's walk off last year is my favorite Opening Day to date. Lotta guys in that video that I wish were still Reds.It's right above 2005 for me (same score, only Joe Randa hit the HR) Mancakes: The Bandhttps://twitter.com/FloydNimrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSox44 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Right now, Ryan Sweeney is the best offseason acquisition for the Red Soxand Vincente Padilla is the worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportstar1212 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Red Sox-Tigers game is intense right now.EDIT: Tigers win on a walk off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Hell of a duel on the north side today. Strasburg with one run over seven, Dempster with no runs and two hits over 7 2/3. I love the days when Wrigley plays as a pitcher's park, just as a chance of pace.What I don't like is the Not Quite Green Monster in right. The bleachers are supposed to be for the people. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kramerica Industries Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 This is playing like Opening Day 1912 right now, with two 1-0 finals, a 3-2 game in Detroit where all the scoring came from the bottom of the 7th on, and a 1-0 score in Chicago right now (with Washington threatening).Yikes. Where is the offense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sorry if this was mentioned, but why did the Marlins and Cardinals have a one-game "series" to open Marlins Park? Has that ever been done before? Seems really silly. "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

FiddySicks Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Man, Justin Masterson must be PISSED. He tossed a gem and his closer just blew it completely.

Wood came in and blew it like a champ, like only the friggin' Cubs can. Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

Sodboy13 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What I don't like is the Not Quite Green Monster in right. The bleachers are supposed to be for the people.That ship sailed a decade ago. This year at Wrigley, a non-Corporate-Patio Summer weekend bleacher seat costs $94 before service fees, $113 after Ticketmaster goes two knuckles deep.

NEW.ERA Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Good thing there is an off day for the Jays and Tribe. This one's going the distance, after the Jays tied it in the 9th. JETS|PACK|JAYS|NUFC|BAMA|BOMBERS|RAPS|ORANJE| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 What kind of an idiot brings in the guy who had five innings of spring training work while your starter is rolling along? Stupid baserunning, too, which Len Kasper assures me is Sveum's doing as a believer in "aggressive baserunning." What kind of Red Sox foot soldier is this guy, then, anyway? I think the Red Sox stole one base in all the time that Theo Epstein ran the team, and that stolen base went on to beat the Yankees. I am not encouraged by what I see.At least it felt right and comfortable to wring my hands about Kerry Wood and Ryan Dempster so there's some sense of continuity with prior summers (if you will) of discontent. I feel like I'm watching split-squad games, except they're not. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 Sorry if this was mentioned, but why did the Marlins and Cardinals have a one-game "series" to open Marlins Park? Has that ever been done before? Seems really silly.1. To give the new park "a day to itself" with a national broadcast is my guess. 2. Yes. If memory serves, the Nationals played a one game "series" to open their new park.3. It is really silly. I can't imagine it would be that difficult to schedule a "normal" series to coincide with the opening of a new park. Start a day early, get your "day to yourself", take a day off, and play the next two games. Seems simple enough.EDIT: Just saw that The Brigadier General already answered #2.
