New season, new thread - the other one is locked, if you want to reply to something in there, bring it in here, ok?

PS. Go Jays Go!

This kid Daric Barton on the A's is a good prospect, he's got a couple walks and a run today...

Weird having coffee with my baseball....

mattstick · March 25, 2008, 09:16:46 AM

Agreed, weird checking in on Fantasy stuff right when I get into work.

I'm ordering the MLB extra innings package when I get home from work tonight, I could've caught 20 minutes of the game over breakfast this morning!

There's always tomorrow...

exactly

I'm almost afraid of how much time I will spend watching baseball this year

God bless Manny Ramierez :banana:

Playing for a contract, he could have a huge year.

If the Sox are gonna win, I like seeing Okajima get it, got him in all my fantasy leagues.

Looks like tomorrows game is on normal TV, so I can delay paying the cable company an absurd amount of money for a few more days.

No doubt. Oki is a favorite here in town, and in japan, judging from the crowds reaction. I like how the japanese crowd is getting into it and that they're behind the sox.
So good, So good

It's hard not to cheer for Dice-K and Okajima.

I really don't think Dice-K is as good as the Boston hype machine perpetuates, this will be a telling year, I've got him at 15-14 4.30 ERA, decent 3rd starter numbers in the AL East.

We may try to go this weekend. The O's are playing the Nats in an exhibition game and it'd be nice to check out the new stadium. Any interest in joining RJ?

I would love to but I'm socked in with baby-prep...
Truth be told I don't have any idea when I'm gonna get down there. I'm def. asking for tickets to see them host the Mets during the week on my birthday in Sept.
