Home opener-- Jose Contreras will throw out the first pitch to Joe Crede. Might need him for a few innings later in the game.

I don't usually root for a rain out, but I hope Wednesday's game gets moved to August.

Cardinals/Cubs- first postponed game of the season. First of many, I'm sure.

My concern with the team isn't about one game. It's about how they looked late in spring training-- which wasn't good. Now does that mean anything either? No, but with every team in baseball playing 8 of their first 10 series in the division, nobody can afford to suck the first 30-35 games. Hopefully they win a game in KC, and come home and slaughter the Twins. And then when Sale takes the mound on Sunday, this season will get off and running.

The 15 losing teams on opening day, including Sunday night, scored a combined 16 runs.

Missing out on a nice day in KC today. Maybe rain tomorrow night. Thursday looks ok. Friday at 3pm....53, mostly cloudy and windy. Typical.

The Angels led the AL in wins last year. 96. Opening Day, lost 10-3 at home vs Seattle. They got swept in that series, and were outscored 26-8. There. Feel better.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 06:35 PM) When the hell will these full rosters be announced? Probably Wednesday. Rodon is starting Saturday. After that, he should be on the same schedule as Danks.

QUOTE (bmags @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 06:48 PM) lotta shutouts today. Including last night, 4 shutouts, and five losers with 1 run. #1 starters

If they come home 0-3, Reinsdorf should have them shave and get haircuts before Friday's game. Clean it up, losers.

Shark Cage...great idea. Can't wait for that on Saturday.

Not a prepared team. Kept too many players in camp too long. Can't do that with 12 new players.

14-14 after 28....sign me up right now. 10-18...fire Robin.

QUOTE (The Ginger Kid @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 04:36 PM) f*** you Cain Breaking my vow of posting in the game thread, but Cain made me a fan of his last October. Seems like a great person. As for Samardzija, if he hit Gordon on purpose, he's an idiot. If he his Cain on purpose, he's also an idiot. Get outs. Win games.

Hawk sucks. First.

QUOTE (JPN366 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 02:30 PM) I'm confused, isn't LaRoche a former multi-Gold Glove winner? Shouldn't he be playing first most of the time? Human beings. That's all I got.

Taking a vow of no game threads until the Sox are 10 over .500.

12 of the 25 have never played for the Sox. Cabrera, LaRoche, Johnson, Bonifacio, Shuck, Soto, Samardzija, Jennings, Drabek, Albers, Duke, and Robertson We know nothing about this team yet.

QUOTE (BigHurt3515 @ Apr 6, 2015 -> 12:39 PM) Phil Hughes getting hit around Reminds me of this...

JD Martinez first homer of the 2015 season. Juicer.

"Jeter" is trending on Twitter. Freakin' move on.

First hit today would be nice, and the customary- pretend to throw the trophy ball in the stands.
