    That sounds terribly awful, and that's BEFORE you get to the price

    So this happened during the opening game of the Freeway Series (Spring Training edition) last night, in Anaheim:

    He'll be fine, though.[face_relieved]



    But of course the most important factoid of the night was that I was able to watch the game on television... how quaint!

    Craig Kimbrel to Padres is nearly a done deal.

    San Diego could give the Dodgers a real run with these additions.

    So I'm just going to treat this entire season as some sort of really long spring training for the Braves.

    Glad to see the Braves giving up any pretense of competing this year. Nice that the Mets should, theoretically, have two teams to beat up on 19 times this season.

    Amazing.

    Because of the Wrigley Field renovations, I so want a home run to be hit tonight, so there can be the hilarity of nobody being able to catch it.

    Silver lining of this is that Atlanta did grab the top Padres prospect, Matt Wisler. Should give them a big-time arm for many years in the rotation.

    I keep forgetting that B.J. Upton is now "Melvin Upton, Jr." Of course, if he still can't hit worth a crap, he's pretty much worthless. Especially at Petco.

    Well that was just about as disappointing an opening day performance as I could have hoped for.....

    I'm looking for any & all recommendations for great-to-good quality live sports streaming sites... I'm going to need them quite a lot this season.


    Anyway...







    (I appreciate Bobby's enthusiasm, but that prediction is off-the-wall nuts)

    You're a Cubs fan. Disappointment is what you do.

    Says the Cleveland fan. :p

    Good news on our front, the Indians extended Kluber and Carasco. Given that they already have Brantley, Kipnis, Gomes and others signed long term for relatively cheap they should have a decent core for the next few years.

    Exactly the point. As a Cleveland fan, I'm an expert on disappointment. Or at least a kindred spirit to Cubs fans.

    The Red Sox and the damn White Sox did it....I'm sure Cleveland isn't too far away. Then I'm sure all the expansion teams from the 60's who've never won a WS will start winning them, with a few wins by the Cardinals scattered in there to really rub it in.

    Seriously though, I am very optimistic about the Cubs right now....if they don't do it in the next 5 or 6 years it's probably never going to happen.

    Less than an inning into the season and I'm already sick of watching Daniel Murphy.

    Amazing.

    Of course Kemp hits an RBI-single in his first at-bat against Kershaw/the Bums.




    And after a 45+ minute search, I can't find a reliable streaming site for the game. Looks like another radio exclusive experience. ****.

    And a 2-run double for Kemp here in the 5th; clearly he's going to end up hitting .600+ against the Dodgers this season.

    How do you spend 100 million on a retractable roof and not close it when it rains? Only the Marlins would have a rain delay with a retractable dome.

    I went to work at 5 AM this morning, hoping I could get off to watch the first game. Didn't get to, so now I'm watching the replay.

    I am so grateful to hear my two friends John Sterling and Suzyn Waldman again, I can barely stand it. There's enough corn in that booth to feed the Chinese army, but I love em.

    Reds in first! For probably the only time this whole year but still!

    I hope we hold onto Chapman regardless he's electrifying
