I think I hate every major league team except the Red Sox.

What about the DBacks? They're harmless.

 

[Al Zarilla]

What about the DBacks? They're harmless.

Padres, although they should harm more opponents than usual this year.

 

[Hee Sox Choi]

What about the DBacks? They're harmless.

Huh. I didn't even know he was working for them until you mentioned that. See? Reasons to hate everybody!

 

[jon abbey]

Such a funny headline...

Any of you guys feeling any schadenfreude with Lester?

 
No, but I'll admit to being a bit relieved that he didn't toss a gem and being able to avoid the idiots screaming 'YOU SEE!?!  They shoulda signed Lestah!!'

 

[soxhop411]

Are we using this thread for the games today? Or should someone create an April game thread?

 

[Darnell's Son]

Use this one for today. Still opening day for most of the league.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Are we using this thread for the games today? Or should someone create an April game thread?

 
After starting the Red Sox game thread a day early, you're worried about protocol?

 

[soxhop411]

Are they seriously playing star wars in the Yankee game?

 

[soxhop411]

Oh Canada!!!

 

[soxhop411]

Arod cheered of course

 

[soxhop411]

And the first homer goes to JD Martinez!

 

[soxhop411]

Hughes gives up another homer.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Both Tanaka and Hutchinson looking strong, w/ the exception of Gardner's hard-hit bomb  to the RF wall caught masterfully by Bautista. First web-gem of the season!

 

[glennhoffmania]

I know this has been discussed, but the idiocy of the mlb.tv blackout rules still gives me a headache.  The whole point of getting it is so people can watch without a tv, yet they still black out local games.

 

[trekfan55]

The box score in MLB Gameday is funny.  It has 10 batters listed (the #10 spot for the pitchers, with batting statistics which will never happen).  I had never seen an AL Box score like that.

 

[pokey_reese]

If Jose Reyes is already hurt...

 

[strek1]

So Cespedes likes NOT having to deal with the monster anymore.  Leaping catch at the wall.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Game looking more interesting as Toronto scores two. Did Reyes turn his ankle?

 

[trekfan55]

In gameday, but can anyone explain why on Earth would Toronto's manager signal a bunt to Jose Reyes after Tanaka walked the # 9 hitter? 

 

[E5 Yaz]

If Jose Reyes is already hurt...

 
... it must be April?

 

[BornToRun]

Tanaka gives up a bomb to Encarnacion. Awesome.

 

[soxhop411]

Yikes. Yikes

 

[InsideTheParker]

Ho, boy! 5 runs against Tanaka!

 

[soxhop411]

That was a cookie.

 

[Snoop Soxy Dogg]

The Blue Jays are going to be tough this year.
 
And Tanaka should just go ahead and have the Tommy John over with.

 

[pokey_reese]

Tanaka falling apart, Yanks getting crushed 5-0 in the third.

 

[glennhoffmania]

The ligament tore off the bone, but he wants to become a true Yankee before going under the knife.

 

[pokey_reese]

Hutchison is dealing. That Jays rotation is going to be insane next year with Stroman back, Hutchison, Sanchez, Norris...  Yikes.

 

[glennhoffmania]

McCann is going to be pissed that Pillar stole a base up 5 runs.  That's not playing the game the right way.

 

[nattysez]

Tanaka is hitting 90-91 with his fastball.  Yankee Stadium had the gun turned off for the Jays first-inning ABs.  

 

[AbbyNoho]

I love baseball. 

 

[LogansDad]

Yeah... the Yankees are going to be really bad this year.
 
Also, might be time the earliest the "Psssssssst" thread gets started this year.

I thought you were talking about Price but then I realized you weren't. 

 

[phrenile]

Yay, baseball.

She was doing her Ellsbury impression.

 

[AbbyNoho]

How is it possible to be that bad at throwing something. Like, how do you go your entire life thinking you just put your arm up and drop it?

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

J.K Simmons threw out the first pitch in Detroit.

 

[E5 Yaz]

J.K Simmons threw out the first pitch in Detroit.

 
Good job

 

[Cellar-Door]

Lohse v Kendrick has to be one of the worst opening day matchups in a while. Football score is on the way.

 

[Lowrielicious]

When is Bartolo Colon going to start ageing properly?
 
6IP, 3hits, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8Ks vs Nats so far.

 

[MuzzyField]

WMB with an 0-4, so far... Just bounced into an inning ending DP. 3-3 Padres and Dodgers B8th. The voice of Vin is nice to hear, too.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Colon beating Scherzer is too rich, so to speak.
Just for the record, tho I know no one is reading this anymore, it turns out that Ian Desmond made two errors that led to the Mets runs. Not on Scherzer.

 

[Orel Miraculous]

Beautiful game going on in Houston. Altuve just broke up the reigning Cy Young winner's no-hit bit, but we've still got two guys who know how to pitch and know how to do it quickly. 

 

[Orel Miraculous]

...And Altuve immediately puts himself in scoring position by stealing on the first pitch (love this guy) and Springer's up. Holy shit, this Astros team got real exciting real quick.
