How did your team do on Opening Day?
Opening Day is wonderful. It feels like a holiday and everything is about to get going again.
I watched my beloved Mets win 7-1 over the Marlins. It was nice to see Darryl Strawberry throw out the 1st pitch. I hope they get off to a fast start b/c Citi Field is going to turn real ugly if they don't. Last edited by 3and2; 04-06-2010 at 07:13 AM. |

Heyward lived up to the hype in his first AB with a 3 run HR.
16 runs on opening day |

Bravos
Derek Lowe looked like he was throwing BP but the bats held the day. Braves put up 16 on the lowly Cubbies.

I will be selling my Cubs cards...
After 27 years, I have decided that there is little reason to live like this. I don't accept this kind of performance in any other aspect of my life....and when you consider they have been doing this for 75 years BEFORE I even started following them, that makes it actually, more than a little ridiculous.
A team of howler monkeys must have a statistically better chance of breaking through and winning a championship one year than what the Cubs have demonstrated over the past 102 seasons. Edited to add: It would be different if I thought they were trying. But they can't be. Opening Day is the one game for which you have the most prep time in the entire season. To get it that wrong...I am seriously rethinking my allegiance. I haven't dropped it completely yet, but we're getting closer than ever.

They were, Dan. (And, as is usually done, I have passed that down to my sons.)
But I will never forgive the present organization (those bastard Steinbrenners) for tearing down Yankee Stadium. (I am still the historical Yankees guy, tho, say 1903-1939, and the collection continues.) |

|||
|

I agree with David that tearing down Yankee Stadium was blasphemous. There was nothing wrong with the old park, and it was torn down purely to add luxury suites. And now all the good seats are so expensive most fans are priced out.
But I'll still watch them for free on TV. |

Tim Lincecum is just.....so freaking incredible. It makes me unbelievably happy to watch him pitch for my team every 5th day.

Tim Lincecum's the real deal...no two ways about that. For my teams, locally the Padres...oh the Padres. Don't get me started. On a long distance note, I expect my Yankees to have another great year. And even if they dont, only 251 more hits for Jeter to get 3000.

Pirates
The Buccos won ,took the fisrt step toward the 2010 World Series!You heard it here first( and probably last) Lou

Lincecum is listed as 5' 11" and 160 lbs....how does he do it? Back-to-back Cy Youngs, and arguably the best in the game right now.

Barry, his father is a genius...
It's all about torque and leverage
I just hope the throwing motion is properly designed so as to not wear out the various pivot points too early...

Jason said what I've been thinking: he is going to have a short career. I don't think his arm will be able to handle 10-12 years of that pitching motion. Hope I'm wrong.

Hopefully pretty soon he will be pitching every fifth day to Buster Posey behind the dish. I'll be a big Giants fan when that happens.

I recently read an article...maybe in Baseball Digest about Lincecum and how his father defied every convention when teaching his son to pitch. Taught him the curveball when he was in the 8th grade, NEVER used ice on his arm, and obviously never gave him steroids.

Anybody notice Albert was 4 for 5 with 2 home runs?

My fantasy league team noticed. I joined a Yahoo auction league this year...first time I've tried an auction draft and ended up with Albert Pujols, Ryan Howard, and Prince Fielder. That would never happen in a regular draft.

His multi-homer game was the first in a Cardinal uniform since he hit 2 against the Phillies in 2006. He just picks up where he left off...MVP

Rhett got a Son and the Mariners Won!
My Brother Rhett (Most of you know him) and his wife just had their first son born yesterday on Opening Day and THE MARINERS WON! Not sure which one is better, but either way it was a Good Day!

There really is a baby boom going on in Net54. Congrats to your brother and his wife Rhys. I think that's 4 babies born in the last month and a half amongst regular posters.

Max, your ex-Expos teased us fans ...
in the DC area by scoring a run in the first inning and holding a 1 - 0 lead over the Phillies after 3 innings, but thereafter my Nationals reverted to form and got crushed!

They beat the Nationals 11-1. Should have never traded Polanco 5 years ago. And for Ugueth Urbina.

How do these pitchers do it?
Quote:
I can tell you, as an avid history buff of no-hit pitchers through time, that many dominant no-hit pitching performances have been turned in by guys that were amazingly small of stature. Pitching dominance does not always equal physical size and conversely physical size does not guarantee quality pitching performance and results. That being said, watching modern baseball games would almost lead you believe that all major league pitchers are 6'4" + and 220 lbs...... |
