Honestly I wish there were more baseball games that started at 6 in the morning. That was pretty cool. Shitty way to open a season but I dig early morning baseball overall.

Go back to pedo cartoons and leave sports to the Americans. You have your own "professional" baseball, stop stealing ours!

Just realized working 2nd shift is probably going to make me miss a fuck ton of Pirates games this year. Probably for the best lol

Has the SEA/OAK game been played then? I thought there was going to be two? I'm so confused. :(

There will be. They start at 6 AM EST. Tomorrow's will be the same time.

EDIT: Nope, actually they play Thursday. And it is at 5:10 AM EST.

The constant "where will Marmol be traded to" discussion will be a fun distraction.

I'm completely on board with let's see how bad it can get. Anybody on the team not named Starlin Castro could be jettisoned this season.

The latter half of the season is where it's at. Please be good Anthony Rizzo/Brett Jackson.

Being in Illinois, I also enjoy the occasional delusional Cubs fan that swears "this is the year." Though, I have heard zero proclamations of that sort so far.

Well, Bryan LaHair being your 1b makes even the most delusional fan reconsider.

Honestly (and since I think they pose no real threat to the Brewers this year) I'll be rooting for the Cubs to outperform expectations. I absolutely love Svuem and firmly believe he deserves a long, serious look.

Anthony Rizzo blows, though. Sorry dude.

Of what I've seen and heard from Svuem, I'm a big fan already. And I was 100% behind the Mike Maddux train.

Rizzo put up some damn good #'s, even for being in the PCL they were impressive. There's gotta be some good mojo behind a guy whom Jed Hoyer mancrushes so hard for.

His #'s in the bigs last year that could make 1 cry at first glance, but he was still sporting a .140 IsoD. That's lead the league territory.
