2008 MLB Season

[MacNut]

The report I heard was that MLB will pay $20,000 and the team will pay $20,000 to make up the difference.

Bring back the Montreal Expos!

They still exist just under another name, and city.

 

[pachyderm]

so we don't have anyone living near or going to any cactus league stuff?

smoltz not starting due to sore sholder

this isn't good news for braves fans...smoltzie isn't starting today due to a sore shoulder...i'm a bit concerned about the rotation age, two 40+ and a broken down mike hampton isn't great in the health department.

Yeah, but they lost Vlad. That and the best logo.

[zioxide]

WOO i slept 3 hours.

GO SOX

[zioxide]

Daisuke is a ****ing mess.

 

[pachyderm]

10th inning now ....

 

[zioxide]

I ****ing love Manny. 2-rbi double in the top of the 10th. 6-4 Sox

 

[zioxide]

game over, sox win 6-5 in 10.

 

[IJ Reilly]

Please, let's not start the play-by-play thing again, and not especially for spring training.

That was a regular season game. Stupid yes but it counts.

Well that's confusing, but even so.

 

[Teh Don Ditty]

It's gonna be a long season...

 

[zioxide]

So I slept a whole 3 hours last night.. not the best idea.

My analysis of the game:
Daisuke was nervous as **** for the first two innings, but then he settled down and pitched well.
Kyle Snyder is a useless piece of ****.
Manny is going to have a HUGE year.

Lots of flash bulbs for Daisuke:

Jacoby is nasty:

Brandon Moss HR in the 9th to tie:

And this is going to be a long thread, and of little interest to anyone, if it becomes a play-by-play and analysis of every single Red Sox and Yankees game.

Don't look at me! I don't do play by plays. I'm actually trying to expand my horizons by paying more attention to the NL West

Don't worry, I wasn't fingering you. We've gone through this every season. I don't know why I thought this one might be different.

😱 I don't want to be fingered!


😀


You had a momentary lapse of reason, that's all.

 

[MacNut]

Im curious to see how Torre can handle the Dodgers. And we do have a Yankee/Red Sox thread floating around somewhere for the overflow.

For the umpteenth time it's TORRE!
