Official 2011 MLB Thread - Part 1

[Franklin Richards]

What a great season this will be. The Rangers will win the division and the Angels will sink lower and lower into the cellar.


Ahhhhh.


No expectations for the Cubs this year, maybe they will win it all.

Ahhh, sure feels like Opening Day outside. Temps in the 30's with a forecast of freezing rain and snow overnight (in Chicago).

I'll never understand how MLB sets up the opening of the schedule. Cold city teams playing other cold city teams, West Coast teams playing each other or traveling to cold cities, dome teams traveling, etc.

You would think they could set up the opening week better. Oh well, baseball's here and that's all that really matters.

 

[SpideyVille]

Haha, yeah I remember a couple of Yankee home openers that were postponed by snow.

 

[WalkingDeadMike]

Haha, yeah I remember a couple of Yankee home openers that were postponed by snow.

I've heard reports calling for rain/snow during today's opener.

 

[SpideyVille]

I've heard reports calling for rain/snow during today's opener.

Yeah there's like an 80 % chance of rain today ands I think it might turn to snow overnight. It's been light so far though, so they might still try to play.

 

[Immortalfire]

Happy Opening Day, everyone.

 

[Kingfish]

The Rangers will win the division

Not with that pitching they won't. I can smell the stink all the way from Arlington.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Wilson and Colby will both win 20 games. We'll get a Sele / Helling flashback.

 

[Kingfish]

Either that or Chan Ho/Drese flashbacks. I wonder which is more likely...

 

[SpideyVille]

Thank God for gameday on mlb.com. I can't watch the game live, but I can get pitch by pitch results.

Cant you just watch the live stream on ESPN3.com?

 

[Immortalfire]

I'm at work..following on Yahoo game channel.

 

[Franklin Richards]

100 bucks gets you every game on your computer. So worth it.

 

[steintym]

Also at work. Catching updates on Yahoo.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

seriously just log onto ESPN3.com and watch the game. Who wants to watch dots run around a screen on Yahoo?

 

[cyborg ninja 14]

Man, Gameday upgraded a crapton this year. It's like you're watching a game on PS2.

 

[Erzengel]

Nice opening day win for the Yankees.

My definition of "following on Yahoo" means leaving game channel box open, and checking it from time to time while I'm working.

 

[Alex The Great]

100 bucks gets you every game on your computer. So worth it.

Googling and having some knowledge of sports streaming sites and you can watch every game for free.

If only these damn School PC's had flash I would be able to watch a few games. Oh well

 

[SpideyVille]

I'm at school so I can't really watch the game. But every so often I switch to the gameday tab to check the score and see who did what.

 

[The Incredible Hulk]

Nice opening day win for the Yankees.

Pathetic crowd at the Stadium today. A lot of empty seats for Opening Day. Fair Weather fans, indeed.

 

[Franklin Richards]

Announcer said it was a sellout. Weird.



They prolly left after the first.

 

[Erzengel]

I would have went if I could. Would have been cold.

 

[Erzengel]

Announcer said it was a sellout. Weird.



They prolly left after the first.

Or a lot of season ticket holders.

 

[SpideyVille]

Or some people thought it would be rained out and didn't bother to go.
