You obviously havent seen him pitch in spring training at all.

X does it again! Snell had a great outing...The Buccos are off to a promising start thus far....they haven't had a very good history in the Maid, but as Lou Reed once said: "Those were different times". I don't expect it, but a sweep of the A-Holes on the road to start the season off would be pretty cool

Another bomb today for Miggy.

Not too much... I saw that he beaned Ordonez in a game where he gave up four hits and 5 runs in some 3-odd innings.

We'll see how he does. I'm just a little skeptical of the guy after the season he had last year. His fast ball was like a dinner bell last year.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:11 PM

Wow... Carroll misses two tags at second in one game! That's horrible!

Clockwork Orange · 04-04-2007, 04:15 PM

Tigers had a 10-2 lead going into the 8th, but the Jays have plated 7 runs to cut it to 10-9 and are still batting.

Wow... That's a hell of a comeback...

Pudge with a 4 hit game...

Works for me, makes it a save situation for Todd Jones in the 9th.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:30 PM

2 outs. 2 on base... Bottom of the 8th... Granderson at bat to try to put the game away... See, this right here is what baseball is all about.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:32 PM

And here come the Blue Jays...

Clockwork Orange · 04-04-2007, 04:34 PM

Here comes Jones with a save opportunity.

Don't Lidge it up.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:34 PM

Lidge it up!

Jens1893 · 04-04-2007, 04:36 PM

He allowed hill to get on base with a single.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:37 PM

Uh oh Jones! Two on, 1 out!

Jens1893 · 04-04-2007, 04:38 PM

He walks Zaun ... Hill to second

Jens1893 · 04-04-2007, 04:41 PM

Smith flies out to LF

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 04:43 PM

Jones FTS

Clockwork Orange · 04-04-2007, 04:44 PM

Nice. I've got Jones in two of my three leagues. That's my first save in both leagues.

Clockwork Orange · 04-04-2007, 04:57 PM

Troy Tulowitzki is a talented kid, but he needs to work on his plate discipline. He's far too aggressive right now. He falls behind in so many counts that I'm gonna start calling 0 and 2-lowitzki.

Clockwork Orange · 04-04-2007, 05:03 PM

Matt Holliday crushes one to straightaway center.

Taco John · 04-04-2007, 05:05 PM

A slider even... Nice. I've got Holliday in my home league.

Master___Pain · 04-04-2007, 05:42 PM

Rox up 8-2. 4 runs in the 8th

Master___Pain · 04-04-2007, 05:50 PM

Damn...11-2 Rox. Still in the 8th. Melvin left his reliever in waaaay to long. 7 hits and 7 runs. Ouch

Yeah...according to espn.com J.D. Durbin is sporting an era of 94.50 right now.

TheChamp24 · 04-04-2007, 10:07 PM

Rockies 2-1, not a bad start so far. Lopez was really impressive out there, gotta give him that.
Rockies scored 11 runs, but if this stat is correct, they left like 25 on base.
And Helton is back, 2 more doubles and 2 walks, look out, I smell a batting title on the horizon.
