And the first nightmarish O's start by a young pitcher is born….

Tonight will be the second.

A good mix of small ball and big ball chased Piniero after giving up 8 runs through 4 innings.

Leading 8-0, Wash got hit pretty bad, but with the large cushion, nobody was very concerned.

Yes, Shawn Green is not happy about moving to 1B, but he's a team player and that's that. Thus far, it hasn't affected his offense, but he has stranded a few more baserunners than I would like.

And I'll change my opinion on this. Green is now 2-13, and while it's early he is doing some very uncharacteristic Shawn things. He threw his bat three times last night (once after a K and twice after popping out)- I don't think I've seen Shawn throw his bat but 10 times in his career. He's clearly more frustrated than usual, and I'm guessing the added pressure is from the late move to 1B.

L.A. is NOT a hitters ballpark, so if i were a hitter i'd stay far, far away from there.

Anaheim just rattled off 5 runs in the top of the ninth to beat Seattle 5-1.

A thing of beauty, this team.

Haaaaaaaaaa


Wrong, dead wrong. Riley pitched an awesome game.

yeah, i wouldn't blame the pitching staff at all. . i mean, when the first 1-2-3 inning is done by the back-up catcher, there's nothing wrong there. he he. . .course, the nl central is all messed up right now with the astros, cards and cubs under .500 right now.

break up the tigers!

geez smackie. . ortiz didn't last very long today, eh? :)

And Aaron Sele didnt start off any better, thank God for Adam Kennedy or they'd be shut out right now. Red Sox down 2-0, i'm loving that so far.

Well, we weren't going to go 162-0, now were we?

We're still on pace for 122 wins, so I feel good about that.

And I don't feel so good about the Ortiz/Sele dilemma for the #4 starter. John Lackey will pitch a gem tomorrow, however. If you need a spot starter tomorrow for fantasy, he's your guy.

shouldn't you be on your way to the avril mall show in hayward?

Since I'm always the first guy to point out when I'm right, I'll be the first to point out that I really missed this one. Lackey got rocked.

And I guess I should point out that Rhodes took only one week to blow his first save. My instincts sense a trend, but my fantasy hopes rely on the alternative.

Bede, thanks for the heads up on the Avril Show. I drove over there, but it was ridiculously crowded so I left.

the astros/cards series this week will hopefully send the cards to the top, and there is no way the reds and brewers will continue to win

Bartolo Colon's two victories helped me go 6-1 this week so i'm very happy about that. Mike Hampton though is not making my week 2 start off very good. :mad:

Russ Ortiz made me feel the same pain last week.

The Angels staff has seemed pretty inconsistent thus far. Congrats to Eric DuBose, who put up another "nightmare" start for the O's; proving that spring training is, well, spring training.
