But it was a CG 2-Hitter by Ben Sheets "one game".

"It was like coming this close to your dreams and then watching them brush past you like a stranger in a crowd. At the time you don't think much of it; you know, we just don't recognize the significant moments of our lives while they're happening. Back then I thought, 'Well, there'll be other days.' I didn't realize that that was the only day." - Moonlight Graham

I keep seeing the Cubs picked to finish high. Baseball Prospectus has them winning the NL Central. They were the worst team in baseball last year, and the only changes I'm aware of are a healthy Derrek Lee, and the Soriano signing. Were there more transactions that I'm not aware of, and if not, how could those two players make such a huge swing in their fortunes?"Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a communist."

DeRosa was signed as well, but I doubt he'll do much. Ted Lily and Marquis will probably be improvements over the guys they had pitching in those spots last year.Originally posted by AstrosFan View Post
Im also guessing they think Prior will have a decent season.Originally posted by DomenicComment

For this season A-Rod, but for a "keeper league" wright because he's younger.Originally posted by AstrosFan View Post"he probably used some performance enhancing drugs so he could do a better job on his report...i hear they make you gain weight" - Dr. Zizmor

Is it just me or was that error that was charged to A-Rod today, not really an error. I don't think any other thirdbasemen gets that called an error. Might just be the Homer in me."he probably used some performance enhancing drugs so he could do a better job on his report...i hear they make you gain weight" - Dr. Zizmor

That was an obvious error in my eyes. Either way, he should have caught it.Originally posted by ChrisLDuncan View PostOriginally posted by DomenicComment

I was thinking more in keeper league terms, so I believe we're in agreement.Originally posted by ChrisLDuncan View Post

Yeah, they'll improve, but I have a hard time seeing them going from worst to first. Still, the Central is weak, and it's really up for grabs this year. Anyone can take it. Well, except Pittsburgh.Originally posted by Westlake View Post"Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a communist."

Cubs have offense, I think not. Cubs have pitching, wow, their ace can't throw strikes. Spending money means nothing.Originally posted by AstrosFan View PostUnlike most other team sports, in which teams usually have an equivalent number of players on the field at any given time, in baseball the hitting team is at a numerical disadvantage, with a maximum of 5 players and 2 base coaches on the field at any time, compared to the fielding team's 9 players. For this reason, leaving the dugout to join a fight is generally considered acceptable in that it results in numerical equivalence on the field, and a fairer fight.Comment

Peavy V. Zito tonight...I'm looking forwards to this."he probably used some performance enhancing drugs so he could do a better job on his report...i hear they make you gain weight" - Dr. Zizmor

What a start to the baseball season. A-Rod had 2 hits, 2 RBI's, a stolen base and a home run. Maybe that will shut up the boo-birds in NY and cheer the best player they have had in a long time.Comment

The only bright spot for the Dodgers - Jeff Kent's home run. I don't think there was ever a better second baseman than Jeff.Comment

A-Rod is clutch, baby!

Lidge blows the save in the Astros' opener. I think there's at least five people who are polishing sniper rifles right now and working out a secret plan."Any pitcher who throws at a batter and deliberately tries to hit him is a communist."
