I have been trying hard not to get too excited though as if I will jinx them.

It's a long season, baby.  Might as well enjoy it while you can.

The Orioles are excellantly positioned to go 4-158 now.  Which is 4 wins more than you'd expect just based on the baseball acumen of their owner.

Thing is, I actually believe he's afraid of Buck Showalter.

Who says LA fans don't take their sports seriously?

Man in Giants gear attacked

LOS ANGELES -- A savage beating by two men outside Dodgers Stadium has left a San Francisco Giants fan hospitalized and police urging any witnesses to step forward to help identify the attackers.

The beating after Thursday's season opener between the Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers left the victim in critical but stable condition.


I went to a Red Sox-Yankees game in NYC when I was just a young'un. In my twenties. Some of my friends wore Red Sox hats, etc.   :unsure:  A bus load of (evil) Yankee fans emptied out after us.   :D    We got a head start though, and made good our escape!   :cool:

And Baltimore drops below .500. I hope you enjoyed your moment in the sun, Orioles fans.

Now, now, now...the season's not officially over until the All-Star break.

Pirates are now 7-3 on the road (won all three series in Chicago, St. Louis and Cincinnati). Last year they were 17-64 on the road and won like 4 series.

At home they're 1-5 so far, though - last season 40-41.  :blush:

Trash talking to us poor Oriole fans?  What are you going to do next?  Box a paraplegic?

In winning for the eighth time in their last nine games, the Sox continued what has been an extraordinary run of starting pitching. In that span, Sox starters have allowed two runs or fewer in all nine games, posting an ERA of 0.88 (6 ER in in 61 1/3 innings).

I hate the Yankees with the sort of hate a squirrel has for the 18 wheeler that just flattened it.

As long as they defeat the Red Sox, I tolerate the Yankees.

The birds have the Sox next.  May Hod have mercy on them.

At least Britton is starting the first game.

The Minsky Moment

Jorge Posada has come to the plate 90 times this season.

He has:
20 strikeouts
10 walks
6 homeruns
3 doubles
3 singles.

He is on pace for one of the most extreme three true outcomes seasons in history.

Of course he won't stay in the lineup if he cant lift his batting average above .150.

Watching Around the Horn last nite, I learned that the Indians are kicking ass.
