MLB season opener, take three


You couldn't be more wrong B Shea. Do you even know what sport you were making predictions for? The tigers have played one game and already lead the league in blown saves and bullpen losses. The diamondbacks are indeed young, but how is that a good thing? None of their young offensive weapons can even be considered weapons yet and if your counting on Randy ( I kill white doves for fun ) Johnson to be your starter all year, your out of your mind. Look for Arizona to finish to finish 2nd to last in the NL West. Today your NL Central pick the cubs went eight innings without scoring a run. Unfortunatly they are not going to have the pleasure of facing Eric Gagne and his rediculous contract all year. Next, for the wildcard, Bobby Cox only gets the best out of his players, when he has good talent. Look for Atlanta to compete with Florida for last place. I also like how you refuse to guess the records of the teams because you know your not as smart as me. Finally, you spelled "Barry Bonds" wrong. It's Barry Bonds*. Get it right.


Opening day, take three has shown us really early what to expect all year. Awful announcing from Joe Morgan which is a new season given, Eric Gagne unable to through a pitch past anyone who is capable of swinging a bat, the Detroit Tigers bullpen which might loose more games than the entire Tampa bay ( ex devil ) Rays pitching staff, and Baltimore proving, even though they say their not, giving up on the season. Perhaps if they trade Brian Roberts before he gets caught with HGH again they could get someone, or anyone again. People in the DC area at least so far have the 2-0 Nationals and their new stadium to look forward to. My bold prediction of the Whitesox making the postseason is looking good even though they are 0-1. Their offense looked very alive tagging CC Sabathia for five earned over 5 1/3, and showed that Joe Borowski is going to get lit up all year by putting up one run off him over one inning. Finally, I wonder if Tom Gordon's ERA is going to hover around 135.00 all year. Personally, I am rooting for it. Expect all of these first day trends to continue into September.
