Yeah the Orioles finally won another game!  Man what a brutal start.

Oh, they've had worse starts :D

Reds fans are on suicide watch.  Homer Bailey apparently sucks, Cueto has sucked so far (though nobody will admit it), Votto hasn't homered yet, and Billy Hamilton is batting .091 so far (can't steal bases if you can't get on!).  But then when the Reds string together a few wins, everyone will be predicting a WS title.

My only gripe with the Cards thus far has been Lance Lynn.  He's the luckiest MLB pitcher in the past 2-3 years with all the run support he's gotten.  He's an anchor in the rotation and sooner or later his W-L will reflect that.

Finally was able to watch a game and of course the Sox lose 10-7 <_<

Cardinals avoid getting swept by the overachieving Brewers.  Previous two games were painful.  I should know by now if it goes into extra innings, they're gonna lose.

Brewers are the hottest team in baseball right now, but I can't see that holding up.  If I'm wrong, please don't refer to this post in September.

Orioles pitching has managed not to fold against the Pirates the last two rain outs.

I've finally gotten myself a router, so I can properly use my wireless devices at home and it also doubles as a media server. And I've hooked up my LG Blu Ray player. Their premium offer sucks, but hey - I can link my MLB.tv subscription to it, so I can watch ballgames on the big screen now. Yay technology. :)

I had mlb.tv all season last year.  Haven't started it yet this year, just doing the app with streaming audio so far.

So I finally made it to a game Friday.  Amazing how much faster the games go when you have free food & booze.  Darth Vader threw out the first pitch but didn't make it over the plate.

Hope the Cards snap out of their funk.  When you almost get swept by the Cubs, that's a hell of a reality check.

The Braves have dropped 6 straight and they start playing the Cards tonight. So something has to give.

I think I'm going to the game on Wed.

They just need to play the Reds more :)

Quoteand they start playing the Cards tonight. So something has to give.

Harang is pitching for the Braves tonight and he's been pretty decent.  Cardinals bats will probably stay dormant.

If the Cardinals win one game, that should be it.  Wainwright is pitching :D

Bleh.  Indians have had a terrible April and had a brutal blown save yesterday.  I'm hoping they turn things around for Wednesday's and Thursday's games when I travel out there.  I found tickets on stubhub, three rows from the field right next to the Tribe dugout for $24 a piece for both games.  I'm super pumped.  :cheers:

Wow, I can see why they ruled that a hit but Chipper would have made that play easily.

We are fucked, gg speiss. We probably won't score 5 runs the whole series.  :(
