Pirates GM Neal doesn't sound that dumb on TV

I wonder how long they stay with the pitcher batting #8 to get more baserunners in front of McClutchen.

stealing cards tricks much

When the Pirates lose, they really lose. They left a small village on the basepaths today.

feliz strikes out the side in his inning of relief

Here hoping the Cubs don't suck 3 games in a row.

The Chicago Tribune beat writer is already out on the ledge after last nights loss. :lol:

Vernon Wells sure is hot. 4 HRs in the series. Had 15 all of last year. He demolishes that stadium every time he's there.

Nice to see the Jays take 2 of 3. They should've won the opener and probably should've lost today so it all evens out. Romero pitched very well.

This just in-Miguel Cabrera is an absolute beast.

In my opinion, this is the year Cabrera really becomes elite, making himself a true MVP candidate every year. As we all know, according to him he has given up drinking, and from what he has said it sounds like he finally has grown up. If so, it could be real scary for opposing pitchers.

Billingsley with a nice line and a W. Would be great if he could finally put together a full top-flight season.

Several years ago a lot of people thought he would move into the elite player category, instead, it felt like he regressed a little. I wonder if this is the year he goes nuts, great starts can mean everything from a confidence perspective.

3 K's in the first inning for Tommy Hanson. Not a bad way to start off the season

He has been elite for years. This drinking thing has been so overblown it's laughable.

Tyler Colvin with a rocket home run off Tommy Hanson for his first career HR. Yikes.

Anyone know what happened to Niemann? He only went 1 1/3 and was replaced with Sonnanstine.

He got hit by a line drive.

Don't know if I'm in the minority, but I've been pretty disappointed with his development over the last couple of years. In 2003 as a 23 year old he had a .430 OBP, 78 XBH's, 112 runs. Since then his slugging and OBP have been down and he hasn't scored 100 runs in a season. Last season was a nice rebound from the one before, but he has not "broken out" in the way that many would have hoped for based on his development in his first three full seasons. At that point he was on a historic trajectory, and he's leveled off tremendously. As for the drinking being overblown, I don't think there's any way for us to know that at this point in time.

Three swinging strikes. Heyward is going to see a lot more sliders at his back foot after that at bat against Marmol.

sergio santos perfect so far in his mlb relief debut for the chi city sox.

The advance scouts in the stands couldn't write that down fast enough.

"Find someone who throws Carlos Marmol slider" :lol:
