IT'S BASEBALL SEASON AGAIN.

[LMNO]

Agreed.

(Still going to a game in June, though).

Pitching, defense, and OBP. Especially in Safeco, where home runs go to die. Mariners are gonna win alot of 3-2 games this year, and having Ichiro and Figgins at the top of the order to get on base and run doesn't hurt our cause at all. I'm more afraid of what happens when we have to play a 7 game series and 4 of them are in either Fenway or Yankee, where teams built around power and OPS have a big advantage.

[Suu]

Agreed.

How much is that soaking you for?

My mom made my dad only get half a season this year for the Rays, despite that my sister was gonna go halves on it. He's pissed. She wasn't home for half the season last year, but apparently she got sick of baseball way too fast when she was. Which is odd, because once upon a time we had season tickets to the Lightning for hockey and even the Mets way back when in the ol' Long Island days.

Fenway is a hard outfield to play.

Got tix through Mrs LMNO's friend at work.  About $100 or so.

Agreed, though having the 2 best defensive outfielders in baseball makes that less of a concern. But our top two starters are both power pitchers who will give up home runs in smaller parks like Fenway, and even Franklin Guttierez can't catch a 480-foot bomb. I expect there to be a statistically significant difference between the Mariners' home and away record this season.

[Iason Ouabache]

Also.....


GO CARDINALS!!! 

Freese = NL Rookie of the Year. I'm calling it early.

As much as it kills me to do so, I have to agree with you Jason!!   

[That One Guy]

Agreed.

This, dammit! Time to wander back to my New York roots ... that's right, it's back to the Mets for me! The Yankees can always suck it, and since the Sox are now also the Yankees (albeit with different unis, but the same "we've got more $$$ than any other team so we'll take your best players kthx!" philosophy) I just can't take it. I love hopeless underdogs, and the Mets certainly deliver!

Plus, they're ALREADY suffering weird, abnormal injuries (thyroid issues? yeah ...) and that was before opening day. Gonna be a fun year!

[Suu]

Wow. Baltimore wasted NO time this year. Fuck. That wasn't even a swan dive to the bottom, they didn't even get off the ground.

The Astros did the exact same thing. Like usual, the Cubs will pretend like they don't suck until September then collapse spectacularly. You can set your calendar by it.

[LMNO]

It appears that another baseball tradition is that David Ortiz will suck like a tranny hooker at Jacques' for the first third of the season.



Yup.  Clockwork.

[Suu]

Ohai, look who's 2.5 up on the Sox coming into Boston tonight. 

[LMNO]

Don't really care.

That is not going to stop me from being a total cunt to anyone who does and has and may ever associate themselves with the Boston Red Sox.
