2013 MLB Regular Season running thread

Second straight time Jose Fernandez pitches a gem. Second straight time the bullpen blows his lead.

 

Elaine Benes returns.

Couldn't disagree with this more. I'd ask for my money back.

 

Meh; I think both sides handled it well.

Just because you buy a ticket doesn't mean you don't have to abide by the rules you agree to beforehand.

 

There is a rule that says you have wear the gear of the home team? Funny, I never heard that in all the times I went to ballparks.

 

Did you read the story?

The rule, or request, is for those specific seats. And it's not about forcing the home colors as much as it asks fans to refrain from wearing the visiting colors.

 

Funny, I guess you sit in the cheap seats.

Due to the high visibility of the home plate box, we ask opposing team's fans when they purchase those seats to refrain from wearing that team's colors.

 

Any way in hell SuperManagerMikeScioscia(tm) survives the month?

 

OF course I do. No reason to spend $3,000 on seats for a baseball game.

Ever.

 

My fantasy team can't buy run support.

 

Neither can the bob-tailed nags, sparky.

 

The home plate umpire in the Dodgers-Diamondbacks game is terrible. Same location for pitches, one time it's a strike, others it's a ball. He's not even calling it in favor of one team, he's just universally bad. I've counted at least eight different times people have barked at him after a call.

One guy slammed his bat on home plate and got tossed.
