No MLB fans left posting here? The 2013 Season has started...

Predictions? Comments? (Not you, Mus.)

Felix threw a gem against the A's on opening day... again :)

The Mariners seem to have upgraded their offense this off season. Hopefully their pitching staff won't be completely fail, and they still have some defense. If so, it should be a fun year. I'd be happy with 85-90 wins.

I have to read them. I have to read everything. :p

Noone whines about football threads because football doesn't suck as hard as baseball. Or even hockey. ;)

Blue Jays are actually favored to win the AL East, for the first time in a long time. (It will be 20 years this October since Joe Carter's walk-off home run vs. the Phillies).

However, the AL East is the toughest, most unforgiving division in baseball, so I take nothing as a given!

2012 NL Cy Young winner and the only knuckleballer in baseball starts off the season for Toronto tonight. I need to find a live bootleg stream. I don't have cable/satellite and MLB's internet viewing package is blocked in Canada...

I scared my kids when Kershaw hit his bomb. We were driving on a kind of twisty freeway, and I started high-fiving my daughter in the backseat and clapping, and my son says "Dad, put your hands back on the wheel!" I got a little carried away.

I'm just along for the ride, hope the Dodgers do as well as their potential says they should. Not looking forward to a long season of Yankees suckage, though. I'll be pulling for Baltimore, if they do.

The "Rogers Centre" is the former "Skydome," sponsorship being what it is, Rogers Communication paid money to get their name on the place. :)

Yeah I am seeing:

1) Tigers
2) Chisox
3) CLE
4) Twins
5) Royals

I have to admit that for all my pessimism, last night the Tribe looked like a real baseball team for the first time in three years.

4 runs in a game is slightly under the average. I wouldn't say cleveland's bats looked particularly good or bad last night.

Justin Masterson, however, pitched a great six innings to spoil Toronto's home opener. Either Toronto's bats were sleeping, or that guy's got stuff.

Against a knuckleballer? Fantastic at bats I'd say :) Patience, patience, patience and picking your pitches.

Masterson got himself into two train wreck situations early and then settled in nicely but he can't count on double plays or he is going to end up paying the price. Our defense made 5 amazing plays for the guy though.

His mitt was HUGE, I have to wonder if that threw him off a bit.

It took three games, but the jays finally found their bats.
