Well I think you and Smooth do a great job at it over there, so why mess up a good thing. I was bored and figured what the heck since there wasn't much on this forum yet. I'll take care of the Tribe threads if you guys don't mind. Oh and I hate Chicago too. I think they messed up getting rid of both McCarthy and Garcia. One would have been fine, but both was a little too much. Like you said, can never have enough good pitching. Too bad we won't get to make them pay for it in this series. I think we can take 2 of 3 from these guys.

Thats fine by me. I really dont like setting rotations on the game thread things so if you want to jump in and do one on the Cavs board feel free as far as Im concerned. I normally just throw one up when its close to game time and there's nothing there yet.

I agree about Chicago and their pitching. Its a long season and if one of their pitchers goes down for a stretch they will be extremely thin. God its nice to be talking baseball again. I love this time of year when every team, well except the Devil Rays and Royals, thinks its their year.

I understand why the Indians aren't starting the season at home. Normally it's pretty cold in Cleveland around this time, but Chicago? I don't understand this at all.

I seriously cant wait until the first pitch in what is only a couple hours, this season should be an exciting. Hopefully that excitiement will result in wins this year.

A few seasons ago they started out in Oak/ Sea or somewhere along those lines...

However, when baseball went to that setup where you play your division opponents 19 times, they started to play the first series or two within the division..

I can remember when it seemed like every season we started on the West coast for the first few weeks of the season and then came home for a series and then played a couple division games.

Alright, the beer's going down good and its 5 minutes from the first pitch. Lets go Tribe, start the season off on the right foot this year. Prediction, Sizemore will lead the game off with a homer.

Is anyone else getting bad sound quality on STO or is it just me?

It was messing up in the pregame show but it's fine for me now.

LOL Nice LTC

At this rate Sizemore will have 500 homeruns this year.

Trot and Haf follow with two singles. Come on V-Mart get yourself some RBI's.

Nice gap shot, runners on the corners and no outs. This would be great to get up by a few right off the bat. Put the pressure on them early.

GreenDemon · Post #17 » by **GreenDemon** » Mon Apr 2, 2007 6:13 pm

Contreras isnt looking to good so far it looked like the Hafner hit was right down the middle.

Post #18 » by **B Mac** » Mon Apr 2, 2007 6:13 pm

Indians hitters getting ahead in the count early. This is a GOOD sign.

Wow that 3-1 pitch was farther outside then the 2-1.
