The 2012 MLB Thread

[Gribbz]

Two innings, two home runs for Aaron Hill.

[TomAz]

Hey that Aaron Hill trade is still paying off.

Why did the Giants pitch Bumgartner ahead of Cain in the rotation?

[theklein25]

Alternate between right and left handed ^

If Kuroda is the Yanks number 2 starter, it's going to be a long season. However, Yanks fans can take solace in the Red Sox circus, which should be entertaining all season. I really think the Rays win this division this year.

Jays with 2 huge wins, 28 innings in 2 games!

Calm the freak down, Canada.

It's only 2 games. Granted, it seems like decades since the Jays sniffed a pennant chase.

[bmack86]

Dee Gordon is a boss. 3 steals, 3 for 4, an RBI. Good game.

[Grandma]

*sigh*

[TomAz]

Karma's a bitch, Pablo Sandoval. you fat fuck. nice throw to the plate.

[Gribbz]

I thought the Giants got a tough break on that one... replay then proved otherwise.

[TomAz]

Well that's a satisfying way to start the season.

yes, I know, it's a long season. But still.

[summerkid]

Dbacks are a very good team this year I could see them and the Cardinals playing in the NLCS...still don't understand the Kubel signing though.

[Gribbz]

Depth.

[TomAz]

right, a bat off the bench and to sub for Parra on occasion, who is a great defensive LF but prone to slumps.

A lot of money for a bat off the bench.

[Miroir Noir]

So the Rays are gonna be pretty good.

[TomAz]

Yeah I think I got it backwards. Kubel will start most days and Parra will spell him. Parra had a nice year last year but no one seems to be confident he can repeat it, at least not at the plate.

[TomServo]

Nice to see the World Series champs off to a great start. If Carpenter can pitch well this year, they should be competitive even without Albert Pujols.

[Gribbz]

Oh, Ozzie. Dumb bastard.

[Grandma]

Barry Zito, i've been waiting for you to pitch like that since you donned the orange and black. Complete game shutout, no walks, less than 120 pitches, battled at the plate offensively and hit a fucking single, all at mile high! God that felt good.

[TomAz]

I bet it did, especially after watching Lincecum not be able to get a pitch over 91 mph on Friday.

[Grandma]

Yesterdays game felt worse

ZITO 2O12

The Beach Boys version of the national anthem was just awesome. Every professional sports team ought to use that recording from now on.

Home opener at Dodgers Stadium. Wish I was there. Go Blue!

[Down Rodeo]

Ethier & Kemp look like they'll be a nasty 1-2 punch this season. Finally.

[rag and bone]

4-0. This team is so damn fun to watch.

I second this not only for the Dodgers, but for my fantasy team as well. I was lucky enough to get Kemp with the 3rd pick.

[nahuatldream]

I've had Kemp for three years in my keeper league, and so glad. Been a fan since he came up. Now, if only Loney would live up to his potential, consistently (and more pitching depth...)

[thom cobain]

I took Kemp at number one and the league laughed at me. Go Dodgers.

[Gribbz]

Goldschimidt is a fucking beast. Go Dbacks.
