You, sir, are no Greg Maddux.
Two walks, a passed ball that crossed up the catcher, and bad mechanics (flying open early) in the first inning. Should've listened to Crosby.
ETA: Speaking of walkup music, with my Oscar Gamble 'fro in my prime, and avoiding the obvious Hendrix (Purple Haze), this would work just fine.

Y'know? After watching the Toronto BlueJays suck for two days against the powerhouse Cleveland Indians, yeah, I'm completely buying into how amazo they are suppose to be.
Only 160 more of this to go.

I would Rick-Roll the crowd with my walk-up music. Or maybe Kiss From a Rose. I've thought about this before and decided it may be one of the best parts of being a major leaguer.

Seth Petruzelli (guy that beat Kimbo) has gone into fights to Britney Spears (or something similar).

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Absolutely. I'd probably change mine every game because the options are unlimited. "I Want Your Sex" always struck me as a really fun choice. Or anything with a bit of an intro that then explodes, where the fans who knew the song would get excited for the first loud beat, but make sure it cuts off just before.Grasspenis wrote:I would Rick-Roll the crowd with my walk-up music.

Also, also, I think this was in an old swamp but its appropriate and worked out perfectly. PA guy started at just the right time and Johnson's reaction was perfect.

Valverde back with the Tigers on a minor league deal.
Closing by May 1?

In a related story, I just slammed my head against my desk several times. (Though at least Dombrowski hasn't mortgaged the farm system for a mediocre closer. Yet.)Brontoburglar wrote:Valverde back with the Tigers on a minor league deal.

I'm a few days late in my rant but in all the cherry-picked stats, Opening-day hitting streak is probably the stupidest/worst one.

So the Natinals were the only team to sweep the opening series.

You can check out their HR tracker. Don't have a link but it's pretty good.

Just saw the video of the HR Mark Reynolds hit in the 11th on Wednesday. It was at f-ing eye-level when he hit it.

Drew Smyly is going for that rare four-inning save.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
And Smyly retires 12 straight against what used to be the New York Yankees to finish the save. Wonder how many four-inning saves there were in MLB last year.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Fun fact that makes me want to kill myself: When everyone is healthy and Mariano is on the mound, 7 of the 10 Yankees in the game will have received MVP votes in 2006.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Man, J Upton just keeps hitting the ball and jogging slowly around the bases. I see what Towers and Gibson were talking about now.
Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
I didn't realize that Jack Morris was doing radio for the Blue Jays. How can they not win now?
Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Yep. It's his first season. Jerry Howarth calls the games and Jack Morris is the "other guy" in the booth; Alan Ashby had that job last year (he moved on to Houston). Coincidentally, both Ashby and Morris are Mormons.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
If anyone cares Smyly's four inning save today was the first time that's ever been done against the Yankees. So yeah it's pretty rare.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Also I dumped $100 on video poker & got pissed so I bet $200 on the Dodgers at -$200 to beat the Pirates. In case anyone wants to sweat a stupid bet.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
I watched it. Good game; had a bit of everything. If the Fox Tigers guys said anything about the uniqueness of the 4-inning save, I didn't hear it. Twelve up, twelve down from the 6th inning through the 9th is impressive no matter how you cut it. And it's always so much more enjoyable to watch a nice daytime, outdoor, ballgame than the Jays playing indoors on cement (as I now am).brian wrote:If anyone cares Smyly's four inning save today was the first time that's ever been done against the Yankees.

See that guy in the stands who was wearing that antique Tigers usher's jacket? Suave.

I'd like some confirmation that that was against the Yankees.

Re: Opening Night/Day/Week
Even "better" way of looking at this, give or take a miscount. Of the 30 on the 2006 AL MVP ballot, 12 play for other teams, 11 are out of baseball and 7 are on the 2013 Yankees. Youkilis isn't one of them because ... deep breath ... 2006 was only Youk's first full season in the bigs.
