It would be handy if there was some feature on here that gave us some insight into the upcoming series, perhaps showing starting pitchers and the like.

I didn't do any stretching or warming up before my first preview. I have to get in to mid-season form before the real bile starts flying.

I hate that smug fucker Gomes. You could tell he thought he went deep off Happ last inning. It was very satisfying when Bourn caught it on the warning track.

Reuben · « **Reply #42 on:** April 05, 2011, 07:44:54 pm »

Be interesting to see if Q makes it through the whole game without getting tossed by the HP ump. That was quite a squabble there during his AB.

The fucker got such a big jump that had Q stood up to throw the runner would have been standing on the bag by the time the ball whizzed past the pitcher. Hell, as it was the play was not in the neighborhood of close.
