Kind of fun watching the Mets get slapped around a bit on their home opener.

And the Rays are KICKING THE NANKIES ASS on our home opener....

Always happy to see/hear of a Yankee beatdown.

10 to NOTHING!!!!!!!!! Rays Rock!

Seeing the Citi Bank logo at Mets stadium really pisses me off. Nothing makes me happier than having my tax dollars go to a New York baseball team.

Basybol been bery bery goot to me

LOL

Why aren't the Brewers on DISH??

Oh... they are still playing?

I can see the headline in the Tampa Trib tomorrow.

Rays Stroke Wang.

WOW.... that is what all the papers said.....

and then said....

Play Wang and stroke it tonight too....

2-5 and Beckett suspended.

Craaaaap.

#8 Get DirecTV. Every game being aired, all season. Baseball until it's coming out yer ears!

After a week of free programming, it gets tempting to buy the $179 package. Then you realize you'll be leaving the catacombs for sunshine and temps above 50 (and your team starts 2-5) and you pass on the ticket.

Temps have fallen below 50 again here, so I'm clear on that basis. Actually, it's more fun for something like a close game that is nearing the 9th inning, or if something special is happening, like a player about to reach a milestone, something like that.

It's fun from a fantasy baseball aspect as well. If the price was cut in half, I'd purchase it.

Seattle is off to a nice start.

Not into the fantasy games at all. I just don't have the time to track that. Speaking of which, I have to leave the office at a decent hour tonight. Seattle (which actually does look pretty decent so far, thanks) is into the 10th inning in its home opener. I'll listen on the way home, may even catch the end on TV.

BTW, I'll admit, part of Seattle's early lead has to come, in part, from the devastation to the Angels' rotation. Man, three guys start on the DL and then another dies. That's tough, really tough.

DL numbers to open the season were really quite low league-wide. Here's hoping everyone manages to stay healthy and safe.

Seattle wins...3-2.

Dammit! Client had a crisis, computer hung...I missed the ending. I'm out here on the edge of the world, can't get the baseball game on stereo nor on a clock radio.

I either have to start getting home sooner or get a radio with better reception. I don't want to have to pay to listen online, too.

But at least they won.

Nice thing is, they're doing stuff that worked for them in the past (especially in 2001, when they won 116 games) and did not do last year. Clutch two-out hits, decent pitching (especially in the bullpen, with the league's lowest ERA so far in this early season, despite imploding in the second game of the year), etc.

Not every game, but enough of them to be leading their division.

Looks like I'll just have to listen to something on the iPod through 500 watts on the way home.

12 - You mean 2-6.

Thank you Travis Buck.
