ChWRoCk2 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ Apr 6, 2009 -> 06:59 PM) 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand though...Lee barely made the Tribe's roster to start last year. Sometimes you just never know... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured since it's the last opening day at the Metrodome they're wearing the original Metrodome uniforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured since it's the last opening day at the Metrodome they're wearing the original Metrodome uniforms. 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.

whitesoxbrian Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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.

ThunderBolt Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 "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]."

Chisoxfn Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted April 7, 2009 Share Posted April 7, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rotation completely young. 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.
