I don't understand how this MLB opening in Japan thing is at all a good idea. If they're gonna do that they could at least not put it in the middle of spring training, and pick a better team (I understand the Mariners, but the A's?) Then to top that off it goes into extra innings and doesn't see a minute of live TV in the US.
[/QUOTE]
When it was scheduled, they were hoping to showcase Ichiro vs. Hideki Matsui. That's why the A's are there.

Mariners are on pace for 162-0. Ichiro is on pace for over 600 hits. Can they keep up this pace? Yes! I believe!

And on the seventh day, God rested. Having created the heavens and the Earth, the seas and all they contain, He ceased all labors. But the seventh day being a Sunday, and with all of His fantasy teams playing, He needed a shortstop. So God created Derek Jeter, and blessed him, and said unto him, be fruitful. And Jeter was good. Jeter held dominion over opposing pitchers (.343 AVG in 2006), was plentiful in power (14 HR and 97 RBIs), and moved over the earth (34 steals) and across home plate (118 runs). And God blessed Jeter, and sanctified him, and said to Roto owners everywhere, make Jeter your No. 1 middle infielder.
Lousy 2 game Opening Series, why not a standard 3?- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

Because they still have a few spring training games left.
I really didn't see why they needed to be regular season games, do they think the Japanese fans cared if they were watching official games? They just wanted to see Ichiro and Godzilla. They could have just had them take all the ABs and everyone would probably have gone home happy.

At least the A's can now boast they managed to get a sellout for a couple home games.

Early season/spring training baseball: great stats, or greatest stats? I for one am looking forward to my Jay's much more realistic 138 win season.

Go Nationals.
So yeah looks like they are actually expected to do something this season instead of losing.
Now Playing: SMT Persona 3: Portable (PSP), Shadow of the Colossus (PS2), System Shock 2, Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon (DS).

Jamie Moyer makes the Rockies squad. He'll be 50 this November. Good for him. He should light up the radar gun after his Tommy John surgery last year.

I know Strasburg is rounding into his old form, but where is the hot shot Bryce Harper starting out the season? I would imagine he would spend most of the year in AAA, he's still 19 I believe and in need of some more 'seasoning'. The NL East should be fun to watch this season.

If they go above .500, then that will be good enough after all those years of losing. I hope everything goes with no serious injuries. So long as that doesn't happen and the organization doesn't make stupid decisions then they will have a bright future.
Expect more Nats fans if they start winning.

Pineda to DL:http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20120330&content_id=27764054&vkey=news_mlb&c_id=mlb
Not the way he wanted to start his career as a Yankee. Rotation should be C.C/Kuroda/Hughes/Nova/Garcia to start the year.
McGowan will start the year on the DL for the Jays with plantar fasciitis. Out rotation should be Romero/Morrow/Cecil/Alvarez/Drabek.

I bet he did. I think this trade is going to be one sided. Montero has tremendous potential and is not reliant on his arm to get the job done. The Mariners should be happy for a very long time, if not, we'll gladly take him back. How's A-Rod sound? We'll even pay his salary for you.

Ouch, Cecil was rocked to day but he said he "liked" how it went. Topped out at 89 in his 4 IP. Farrell said there are "definitely concerns". His spot isn't a sure thing...Laffey would fill in until McGowan comes back or he fails badly. Only need a 5th man once until April 25th or so.
Jimenez suspended 5 games for throwing at Tulo intentionally. Jimenez denied he did it intentionally and wouldn't apologize and says he shouldn't be suspended. He will appeal and not miss the opening series Vs. Toronto.
