The Official Thread of Opening Day

This isn't 1994 anymore. ESPN2 (75 million households) is in almost as many houses as ESPN (80 million households). Nice try.

When ESPN is airing 12 hours of wall-to-wall coverage of the opening day of women's figure skating, or the opening day of women's college basketball, or the NBA, let us know.

 

Fuckin' Erik Bedard.

 

Yanks were loosing 5-3 on my first peek of the 2007 season.
I still don't know if TBay held on. Guess it'd be easy to find out.

 

You know this shit is just retarded when you say it, right?

The average American cable customer had the following options for watching baseball today.

Yankees -- Devil Rays on ESPN at noon.
Braves--Phillies on TNT at noon.
Red Sox--Royals on ESPN2 at 3.
Twins--Orioles on the Deuce at 6
Rangers--Angels on the Deuce at 9.
Plus a local game, if your team wasn't a part of the above games.

Yeah, baseball is hurting.

And you don't suppose having figure skating on ESPN had anything to do with KNOWING WHAT TIME IT WOULD END so they could start the postgame from the NCAA Final on time, did it?

C'mon dude. Think before you post dumb shit.

 

Charlie Manuel is going to cost the Phillies at least 10 wins this year with those stupid decisions.

 

But you found the rare mustache-less Caldwell card. Good get.

 

Only one game. If the second half to last season was any indication, he's going to be fine.

 

Bedard will be fine.

Got a couple fastballs up to good hitters.

He's still going to be a stud.

 

You don't get it regarding his blister problems.

He doesn't throw his curve, like last year, he has no blisters.... and sucks.

If he does, 10 wins.... 30-40 days on the DL.

 

Zeke,

The Reds-Cubs game also was on the Deuce for most of the country, unless you were in the Reds market.

 

See, I forgot one.

That means that anyone with cable had AT LEAST 6 games to pick from, probably 8, and the people who use bunny ears had one and maybe two.

Yeah, it was HARD to watch baseball yesterday.

 

All I know is that I made a bad decision. I had an option of either going to Philly, New York or Washington. I picked Washington because a friend of mine was flying in.
I saw a brutal game and the only thing that made it tolerable was reading and posting between innings on my laptop.
