Beemer

So.... Fenway is 100 years old this week. Maybe it's time they clean the bathrooms.

Just bought tix for the Dodgers/Nats in LA for weekend after next. Can't wait! Been a long time since I've been to Dodger Stadium. One of my all-time favs! And it's hard to beat a Dodger Dog.

It's Patriot's Day! I love morning baseball.

Love to see Todd Helton hitting the ball. He's been one of the best for a long time. Great guy, too. I hope the HoF voters don't look at it as a "Coors Field Thing".

I love Bobby Valentine. Brilliant baseball mind. Total idiot.

WOW - Ian Kinsler is playing the HECK out of the ball. Def the 1st week MVP.

Believe me - I understand not liking George and ARod (trust me - there's not much love for those guys here in TX.) I just don't get the ramp up to "HATE". Maybe it's just semantics but words mean something to me. I'll save "hate" for people that are trying to hurt my family. ARod just gets hardy applause from me when he strikes out with the bases loaded. And a scoff when he says/does something stupid. He can be a real jerk but he's been a heck of a ballplayer for a long time. Sounds like a fun series w/ the Angels. I'm afraid I won't be able to get near the Ballpark in Arlington when the Angels come to town....

Uh oh. Ellsbury just injured his right shoulder. Looks bad.

Maybe I'm just missing the necessary gene but I'll never understand all of the "Yankee Hatred". People around here (Texas) HATE the Yankees to a point that's just silly. If you pin them down as to why it's pretty much because the Yankees always kicked around the Rangers and they spend so much money. I point out that they don't kick around the Rangers anymore and LOTs of teams spend lots of money. Believe me - I root against the Yankees when they play the Rangers (and I root FOR them when they play the Angels) but I have NOTHING but respect for the winning tradition the Yankees have produced over the last 100 years. The best part of the RedSox '04 run to winning the WS was beating the Yankees! (If the Yankees were bad that amazing comeback wouldn't have happened.) The best part of the Rangers run to the WS in '10 was beating the Yankees. (They'd never been good enough before.) The fact is: Baseball is better when the Yankees are good. OK - flame on....

Ha! Harry Doyle! "He leads the league in most offensive categories - including nose hair."

Jays are going to be good. Love that 3rd baseman. SO we have fans of the following teams in this thread: Jays Mets Rockies Angels Rangers Who'd I miss?

Better get used to it, buddy. I have a feeling the LAAofA will have bullpen probs all year. Nathan blew one for the Rangers last night. But at least it wasn't 6 runs! Ouch! ALWest is gonna be a dog-fight.

Timmy go boom. Ouch.

Love the Orioles. Love the history. Love the ballpark. HATE the "trucker" caps!

A true fan (or crazy...). Who's your team?

Unfortunatly JV just blew that game in the 9th. Rays came back on him and now he's losing. That's baseball...

Oh, and, BTW: Verlander has a 1 hitter into the 9th. Dude's sick.

BoSox are losing again to the Jays. How can a good team fall so far so fast? Shows how smart Theo was to bail on that sinker....

You're right, of course, but those two monsters batting 3 and 4. Yikes! Also - the bullpen could be better. I'm not sure Valverde is going to be perfect again (in fact he's already blown a save - game 1 - one more than he blew all last year) and they may have a little trouble getting to him every night. I know they are beatable but not by another team in the AL Central - that's for sure...

Anything to do with that Albert guy? <grin>

Tulo vs. Timmy. GOT HEEEEM!

It's probably over for the Mets already. Wright's out. It was good while it lasted!

Will the Tigers lose a GAME this year?

How 'bout Zito, tho'? Where'd THAT come from? He hasn't pitched like that in 10 years!

Get the MLB package from DirecTV and you'll never leave your couch. My life is over until November.
