buehrle could get lit up tomarrow and we wouldnt be worried. it is like u said the first game

Buehrle getting lit up on opening day is nothing unusual however.

 

Seems he struggles the first game every year. Would be nice to get the first win on the first gm though.

yea, i remember. but thats why i was saying, these aces getting lit up shouldnt be much of a concern. will lee be great like last year?no but he probly will still be solid. gota wait and see.

On the other hand though...Lee barely made the Tribe's roster to start last year. Sometimes you just never know...

Verlander gives up 8 ER.

Man those new Twins' alternates are fugly.

Sorry, I have to do this.....credepopsitup

really jim leyland....you pulled your team cuz they threw a piece of garbage on teh field....wow i've seen way worse...i have to think leyland is trying to get a forfeit here

Leyland pulling an Ozzie. I loved that last season in the Dome.

looks like going into tommorow indians, twins, and tigers all 0-1

Are those actually alternates? I figured since it's the last opening day at the Metrodome they're wearing the original Metrodome uniforms.

I have a feeling this Tigers season might get ugly really quick

According to UniWatch, they dropped the alt navy for those.

 

The Twins have dropped their alternate navy road jersey (addition by subtraction, right?) and added a great new alternate throwback outfit. They also have two new sleeve patches, one marking the Metrodome's final season (here's a closer look) and the other memorializing owner Carl Pohlad.

Yeah those are ugly.

The Tigers look awful. Verlander just sucks and it doesn't get much better from the top to the bottom of that rotation. Some team will unload for Cabrera at the deadline...

Yeah, the Porcello and Perry callups pretty much told to me that their management knew that too.

Francisco Liriano, the last of the three supposed aces going today, gave up 4 runs to the new and improved M's and took the loss.

 

I actually think the M's will end up better than the A's, just a gut feeling. They've really improved their defense quite a bit. They don't have the pitching YET, but I think their overall pitching will be better than the A's and Rangers, but the Rangers' offense will carry them to second place.

 

Crain gave up another run, as usual...love to see that, in other ways, I don't...because it might actually force Bill Smith to do something more substantive than trading for Eddie Guardado or Luis Ayala. It really looked for a day or two like they might bite on Juan Cruz but I guess the price was too high.

 

Something else that was interesting...Delmon Young was benched for Denard Span.

THe Mariners look okay now, but their future is bleak. Especially with their new Gm's move to convert Morrow and Aumont permanently to relief.

Good news for the Sox, bad news for Minnesota pitchers:

 

Redmond's down, Minnesota may be forced to start their 3rd string catcher for awhile

"I'm a little concerned," Redmond said. "A little more than normal."

 

Redmond tries to avoid the training room at all costs, but he was in there after the game.

 

"That's not a good thing," manager Ron Gardenhire said. "I don't have enough of those [catchers]."

Not in 2005, where he outdueled the Tribe.

I've been hearing A's this A's that for the last two days on this site and there lineup isn't that great. The whole rest of that division sucks but I wouldn't be shocked at all to see the A's be the team that finishes dead last. Giambi is past his prime and is going to a much large ballpark, Nomar will get hurt, Sweeney isn't ready to leadoff, Holliday is legit, but other than that, very very blah lineup. Rotation completely young.

 

 

Did my heart good to see OCab bounce a throw into 1B yesterday for an error against the Angels.

I wonder if he has the A's scorekeeper built into his speed dial yet.

Ocab probably couldnt take his eyes off the greatest manager he has ever known while making that throw

not to pick nits, but this should probably be in the MLB catchall, but I tend to agree with you, I think their pitching is too young as well.

 

I think Beane made a great trade for Holiday because if they contend he's there if they don't he'll probably be able to get what he traded for him in return or more at the deadline.

Well, I guess UniWatch is wrong. The Twins are wearing their navy's now.
