Ward, plays for the Caps. Scores game-winning, series- winning, goal against the Bruins and Bruins fans take to twitter to take us 50+ years back. Where does Detroit come into place again?

Because, multiple tweets came from Red Wing fans?

Apparently. Detroit, Buffalo, Philly, and portions of Canada all took part in the tweets. Kid from Cumberland, RI high school (who played hockey) is facing expulsion. Either way, the entire thing read like a game of Call of Duty on XBOX Live.

What? People in Philly were jumping for joy that the Bruins were out. Where did you hear that it was people from Philly?

I don't think anyone cared who won or lost. It was just kids + anonymity joining the fad. Most of the locations came out the next morning during the aftermath.

I don't think they found an exact, but it's safe to say. Maybe a couple bitter in Vancouver.

Welcome back.

So, council, the age of PHELPS has begun!

If this means Freddy's dead, I'm all about it. Yankees need their SP to straighten up and fly right so we can beat the fuck out of this division like we're supposed to.

Comerica Park is beautiful, it does have the most expensive beer in MLB though. Downtown Detroit is a great spot for restaurants and shops. Just be sure not to drift too far or you'll get robbed.

So true. Comerica and Ford Field are literally blocks away from no man's land in Detroit. And as much as I hate Hockey, Hockeytown is a must visit place if you're in the area.

 

[eznark]

Comerica + Cheli's Bar is the greatest stadium/bar combo in America.

Frank, you left out the Duda pic, you're slipping man!

Is Cheli's in the park?

I always thought Cubby Bear would be a good time but I never got the chance to experience it when I visited Chicago since the Cubs were on a road trip. I did have a couple of beers in there anyway though.

That's the problem with modern ballparks. Most of them are being thrown into lousy locations with nothing but parking lots surrounding the stadium.

Even Baltimore there are a few decent restaurants to get postgame meal and drinks after the game.

 

[rekameohs]

Oh, what do you know? Corbin's pitching well. Seems like they should've figured that out of spring training instead of lumbering out ol' Collmenter to get shelled 4 times.

Nope. Right next to it http://www.chelischilibar.com/detroit/location.html

The best thing about this? They're not done. Mets are planning more themes this season, including a hockey player theme for their Toronto trip in Mid-May. Hilarious.

 

[darkside31337]

That is indeed pretty awesome. Hopefully they don't have a golf themed set ready for October.

You should have a theme where you rep every one of the teams you support for a week. Then again with your fairweather nature you may need two weeks...

 

[eznark]

Is this a new thing for the Mets? Seems like every team has done this forever.

eh when you have a team that'll lose 90 games to gotta pump up anything nice. Plus I honestly think Mets haven't done this in awhile. Don't remember it the last 2 years.

Brah I don't know what your problem is.

I've been rooting for the Rays for more than 8 years now. And I've liked the Mets since I was a kid. Why can't I like two teams? The Mets could use all the fans they could get.

 

[eznark]

I always fucking hated it when the Brewers did it playing bad baseball (so for most of my life). Fucking Burnitz, Jenkins, Doug Davis...those guys were making my life miserable how dare they enjoy themselves.

I think the Mets are trying to take advantage of their "Hey we playing OK!" window while they can. But I do enjoy seeing the homegrown guys play hard, this team has remained pretty resilient from last year.

Yup, it's a fun thing to do when playing well. The Brewers had a western outfit trip last year that was humorous. Axford may as well be Doc Holiday. I just hope they stop if things go south.

And I was being 100% sincere when I said they are fun as hell to watch. I don't root for them to win or anything but they are a fun club. For some reason the team reminds me of the 2003 Royals. No idea why.

 

[ToxicAdam]

On this week's Up and In podcast, Kevin Goldstein and Jason Parks spend a good segment of time talking about Francisco Lindor (Goldstein saw him play last week). Money quote: "I can't remember seeing a shortstop this low that got me this excited since Alex Rodriguez, who obviously is the best player I've ever seen in the Midwest League." There is also a brief discussion of Luigi Rodriguez, Ronny Rodriguez, and Bryson Myles.

woah

 

[The Frankman]

It might all come crashing down in June. Mets sched is pretty brutal.

4 vs Cardinals
3 @ Nationals
3 @ Yankees
3 @ Rays
3 vs. Reds
3 vs. Orioles (maybe their only "easy series")
3 vs. Yankees
3 @ Cubs
4 @ Dodgers

woah

Ok now I have to research this kid.

 

[eznark]

Ha, I was just looking to see who the closest midwest team is. I might have to schedule a trip up to my folks around the Beloit Snappers.

 

[Prade]

Considering this is the first full year for a lot of these guys, practically everything is new for them. Chemistry on this team has been pretty much absent since 2006 it seems.

Was it that? Or was it because they were thinking of executing Tim Byrdack and Frank Francisco for each blowing leads.

Well, I'm not old enough to buy drinks yet so that won't be a problem for me haha. Thanks for the tips! I'll be sure to check around the downtown area and hockey town.

I wonder if Gullien will last as manager past June 1st. All the money they put in this team, the new stadium, and the history of the ownership being assholes, I can see a new manager in Miami pretty soon.

The most indefensible at the time of signing for sure.

But it turns out Albert Pujols really is 40 years old already. Sucks for the Angels.

Hahahaha, everyone knew he was 40. No one realized he was in his late 40's.

As a lifelong fan, it is nice to see them having basically the complete opposite of the April they had last year (5-13 I think). I really think that, barring major injuries to Wright or their 4 primary starters that they will finish with a .500 or above record. They played .500 baseball from May forward last year, and overall I think they are a better team this year than last.

Sometime around July 4th.

Derek Lowe is 3-0 with a 0.44 ERA at home in Cleveland. Not bad. 4-1 with a 2.27 ERA overall.

 

[Doytch]

So yeah, Camden was bomb as shit. Loved it. CBP was nice too, but being shoved off in the south amongst parking lots is eh. OTOH, Philly is a really awesome city.
