Cincinnati is a buzz with the new Great American ball park.
GW senior is throwing the first pitch.
Maybe is doesn't know that the name is from an insurance company not just for america.

That was the most miserable experience I've ever had at a baseball game....not only did they get crushed, but I have never been that cold at shea before in my life.......the game time temperature was 39 degrees with a brisk 25 mph wind....I left after 6 innings. I figured once I couldn't stop shivering it was time to leave.

Hope today's performance wasn't an indicatore of things to come.

I'm going to our opening game tommorrow night here at Minute Maid Park. (I STILL hate that name.) Gametime temperature is supposed to be a brisk 70 degrees with a clear blue ski and low humidity. Great open roof baseball weather.

watching roger cedeno play centerfield is like watching a chicken with its head cut off. He misjudges and makes mistakes on fly balls that can be caught easily by good high school & college players

A bit like watching Chipper Jones playing left field. Phil Nevin probably saved himself similar embarrassment by dislocating his shoulder and ending his season before it started.

Went and saw the Royals win on opening day for the first time in 5 years. I think this is one of the first times that they've been above 500 for quite a while. Their closer was throwing heat yesterday.

Speaking of closers, I know Rivera (Yankees), Hoffman (Padres), and Nen (Giants) are on the DL and the BoSox are doing the Bullpen by Committee thing, which obviously didn't work out very well against the D-Rays on opening day. Any other teams missing a closer - either on the DL or lacking one altogether? I noticed that the D-Backs have decided to put Byung-Hyun Kim into their starting rotation so that Mantei is their closer again. That should be interesting.

Well, Alfonseca (cubs) is on the DL, i think Dave Veres will be closing in the interim...so is Isringhausen (STL)....Steve Kline will get the save opps there.

Fawk! I just saw Nenn was on the DL. Who is closing for the Giants now? Back in early March, picking Hoffman and Nenn looked like a sure thing for my fantasy teams. frown

Oh do I love this time of year. Baseball is great. I am hoping for Junior to have a marvelous come back year. Look out for those Reds and Pirates.

Prediction 1: Look for Eric Chavez to win the MVP this year and then leave the A's for more money ~ completing the A's-MVP-free agent-Trifecta. [Freak]

Prediction 2: Lou Pinella's head will explode on the field after Tampa Bay looses record 50 games in a row.

Prediction 3: Yankee's will trade for Miguel Tejada to fill in the injured Derek Jeter. The A's can't afford to resign him anyways.

So Giant fan, who would you chose to fill his spot on a fantasy team as a closer?

Signed,

Personally....i think the Yankees will trade for Vizquel rather than Tejada....Oakland will probably hold onto him believing they have a shot at winning it all this year.

Rodriguez, Worrell is more of a set-up guy. Felix throws some serious heat

Nen will be back in May.....maybe, he is getting a little gray...

Thank you sir. I can't believe I'm going to have to actually root for the Giants this year. :p

Having Bonds on my squad doesn't suck, though...

If anyone is interested I'll start one on Yahoo....no money or anything, just bragging rights.
