Why Jeffrey Loria was ever permitted to get near a baseball team is still one of the world's great unsolved mysteries.
Being friends with the commissioner has its benefits. :bleeding:
I'm hoping I can find a bar that will show the Indians game for me tomorrow.

Nice day at the ballpark.  Didn't stay for all 13 innings but got my fix.  Maybe it was because I worked most of the day and didn't start drinking sometime in the morning, but the all the drunks outside the stadium (there are actually good bars & restaurants to hang out at now) annoyed the piss out of me.  It was a later game than usual for the opener, but just like with Bengals primetime games, people around here start drinking really early and don't know how to pace themselves. 

Nomaaah is doing the Cardinals-Diamondbacks game.  Not doing too horrible a job.  Thank God baseball season is finally here.  Spring training/pre-season is just unwatchable for me.

Yankees opening day lineup would be lucky to score against a team of Ewoks.

The Astros are in the AL now, so at least they can get some runs this year.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Yeah, watching a bit of it, especially since I picked up Carpenter on waivers.  Way to go with the DP, dude.

Still kinda weird to start the season with an interleague game.

Yup. They should either remove 3 teams in each league (fat chance) or add one each. Let's bring back the Expos and add a Northwest team (Vancouver, Portland . . . ).

Good ideas, both.

Does MLB require approval of the other owners for somebody to purchase a team, like the NFL?
Not that the NFL has ever done anything to stop assclowns with money to ruin franchises or anything, but still.

His Miami ownership is his reward for getting the Expos out of Montreal.

So as always, the MLB channel (or Time Warner Cable, dunno which) screws me out of seeing the Cardinals.  I'd like to know how Giants-Dodgers is more "regional" for my area than a Cardinals game.

Giants-Dodgers is the national game that's going to most areas of the country.

But the listing says "regional coverage: Cards-D'backs or Giants-Dodgers"

Giants vs Dodgers is the marquee matchup these days. :P

Yu Darvish one out from a perfect game.  Ow. :(  The Tribe won though, so I'm pumped.  Now to keep it going.  Which could be incredibly tough since Ubaldo Jimenez pitches next. :(

Yeah, a true shame. And ESPN's headline is painful even to someone like me who enjoys puns:

"OH NO YU DIDN'T"
