I can't believe someone actually asked this question. If you go to work on Opening Day, you're probably a Communist. In Milwaukee, if you're not projectile vomiting in the parking lot by 10 AM, you're not even American.

Yay, I don't have to feel a little bad! Also, I think I need to move to a better baseball town if Milwaukee is the way non-terrible cities do things.

I'm not here to judge, but Milwaukee's opening day is a consumption orgasm inside of an abortion. ...with that being said, you should always take opening day off in my opinion. Further along in the season, you should convince your boss to have an off-site meeting at the park. If you can convince him to expense the tickets, even better. I'm speaking from experience. It loving owns.

Can we give Scoobi his own thread again just so he has someplace else to dump his freakout Pineda posts for the rest of the season?

I'm leaving work at noon on Thursday, and then probably going back for a few hours after the game is done. Opening Day, it's almost here

Going to the D'Backs/Giants Opening Day game; gonna get there early for batting practice to see if Trammell and/or Gibson will sign my Tigers pennant for me. I'm not a D'Backs fan, per se, but I do enjoy going to their games and wish for them to do well, if just for the fact that two ex-Tigers legends help manage the team. Chase Field is also a drat nice baseball stadium.

I grew up in AZ but they didn't get a team until I was 15, or else I'd probably be a diehard Dbacks fan. I hope Tram or Gibby signs your pennant.

I've made my peace with Zito by now. He sucks and every fifth day he's going to give up four runs in five innings on average. This is a roster decision the team can actually do something about and Bochy is being just cagey enough about the final decision to make it seem like he might actually break the pattern and make the right move. Which is going to make it that much more infuriating when they end up trotting out Huff for at least month and a half before doing what they should have done as soon as Belt's hand healed last year.

What season was it that Zito posted this picture of his dessert on Twitter that Gary Radnich got pissy about? Highlight of his career in San Francisco, because gently caress Gary Radnich.

Radnich is loving terrible. I haven't bothered fixing the radio in my car since I changed my battery, is Damon Bruce still on the show with him? Because it was nice of KNBR to put both of their smug morons in one timeslot so I could avoid it easily.

Last time I listened, yes, but one of the last times I listened was when Tony Bruno called some pitcher an illegal alien. "Lincecum shouldn't be in the All-Star Game, his Win-Loss ratio is bad."

I'm pretty sure Zito isn't on track to vest that 2014 option, thankfully. I want this nightmare to be over already.

jeffersonlives posted:Dom Brown going back to AAA so more ABs go to John Mayberry, Laynce Nix, and Ty Wigginton is entirely an issue of Philadelphia's own creation, at least. Both the city and the fans. DID YOU KNOW: phillies fans actually came to minor league games specifically to boo and heckle Dominic Brown. The Phillies SBNation had to make a post at the time imploring people to stop. Fun times

I don't know why the just didn't roll with Mayberry at first and Brown in left. I don't see how it could be any worse than the current poo poo show.

If it was obvious that Dom was just in AAA to start the season because he didn't get enough playing time this spring due to being nicked up, I might be ok with it. He's not though. I am not ok with it.

Are the Phillies still claiming Brown needs more time to adjust to LF from RF? That was among the funniest explanations I'd ever heard for burying a young guy that's out of favor.

Drew Smyly has won the Tigers #5 slot and it appears Luis Marte will win the final bullpen spot. Hooray, two good decisions.

Yeah seriously, Smyly shouldn't be anywhere close to the majors out of spring, it's just badly rushing a lesser prospect instead of the top one. The Tigers have this weird Roman gladiatorial approach to pitcher level placement that I'll never figure out.
