    I'm still trying to figure out why everybody's jumping on Darren O'Day when it was Pedro Feliciano that sucked, put the runner on base, didn't do his job, and had to be lifted for O'Day.

    because they are homers and dont understand the complexities of the game. Your welcome HGM. Two words, Calvin Schiraldi.

    SNY is trying to compensate for the FOX exclusivity-Flo Rida- Mets-Marlins snafu- they have a graphic up with the pitcher and batter and the score and the count and number of outs... hopefully nothing big happens in the first 40 mins

    OMG!! David Wright just made what probably is the best catch in the history of baseball!! Too bad you didn't get a chance to see it live.

    I think I'll be the first to say it:

    Cleveland isn't doing so hot.

    I'm gonna try not to bother with the standings until about the 120 game mark. Yeah, every win counts and it's nice that my team is 5-1, but I still believe they'll be battling Baltimore to stay out of the basement in the AL East. It sure is fun to watch the offense (especially Lind) after last year's epic fail with men in scoring position right now though. Snider looks like he'll be a force someday, but I think he's gonna struggle this year. The rotation is incredibly threadbare right now and full of pitchers on strict IP limits for the season and just about any potential SP callup will also be on these types of limits. So, it's going to be "interesting" to see how it all gets patched together (hopefully a quilt that the Canadian or American Quilting Association would rave about and not something a pure amateur like me could come up with). If they can at least make it fun to watch and interesting/compelling, I'll be happy wherever they finish. Really concerned about Janssen and McGowan though. McGowan is out for the season and probably Marcum is too (I would hold him out were it up to me). McGowan and Janssen are attempting to come back from torn labrums and given the percentages against them ever making it back based on the history of the surgery, they might both be done, but it's too early to say one way or another. Happy to have baseball again.

    Top of the 5th, Nick Swisher just homered.

    Earlier he got a triple.

    Cycle??? He's got the home run and triple out of the way.

    Swish is one of my favourites, even though he's gone to my least favourite team. Go Swish and go Royals.

    Boy, we have under a .200 batting average through 4 1/2 games, that's gotta be pretty damn hard to do. Need a lot of suck and a lot of bad luck there.
    My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.

    Miniscule sample size. Lemme know if your Royals are still hitting under .200 at the end of May (one third of the season). Many teams throughout the course of a season will hit under .200 over the course of 4 and a half games. They're able to hide it because it doesn't happen at the beginning of the season. In fact I'll bet every single team in the majors has stinker stretches like that every year. Don't worry it'll come around.

    I'm not worried, it just sucks to watch while it's happening. The number of lineouts we have had so far this year has actually been pretty shocking. It's amazing that no matter how much you suck, you need a lot of bad luck to hit under .200 for 5 games now...and it's happening so far with us. Can't buy a break. It happens.
