I'll be at all 4 games against the Twins this week (tix are $5 for the bleachers, terrace and grandstand for those games).

I was worried in spring training when it seemed like they were getting clubbed around and not really batting well. I figured even if they got clobbered in the pitching it would be like the Yankees prior to the CC/Tex/Burnett deals where they'd win games like 12-11 or 8-7.

O's going for 3-0 for the first time in 14 years

All 4?! Hopefully we at least split but I doubt we will, the way we're playing so far.

So much for that. Both team's starters got bombed today. Colon also looks terrible.

Batman1980 · 04-03-2011, 07:11 PM

Twins up 3-2 on the Boo Jays, hopefully we get our first win of the season today.

Yup, all 4 (gotta love the $5 tix

). This year they are odd with the $5 games (last year is was at least 2 games a month spread throughout the season. This year, the put 8 games for $5 in April, 3 in May and 1 in Sept (I couldn't get Sept game yet

). The one thing that sucks is that they no longer offer season tix for the bleachers (for new people though).

UPDATE: I got a $5 tix for the 5/23 game against the Blue Jays. I'm only missing the Sept game against the O's. I'll keep trying everyday though.

Nathan comes thru! Twins first win of the year.

Next stop the World Series!

About time man, Nathan was walking fools left and right, still think they should've let Capps finish it off. Got outscored 22-8 in this series, will need our pitchers to step it up against the Bombers from New York.

Yeah, Nathan struggled. Took him 31 pitches to get that 3rd out.

I agree our pitchers need to kick it up a notch. But getting outscored 22-8 also means our bats need to wake up too. I'm still confident we'll have a great season.

Having watched a lot of early games this season, it seems the ball might have been juiced again. Run-scoring was way down last year, the lowest it had been in two decades. But the balls seem to be flying very far, even in cold weather. Balls have been juiced before, everyone knows about 1987 and the crazy offensive explosion that year. I was hoping scores would remain around last year's level.

supersix4 · 04-03-2011, 08:26 PM

3-0 Orioles

swept those Rays

I wasn't even 10 the last time that happened

Looked it up and here are the avg runs per game in recent years. Scoring peaked in 2000 and went on a 10 year decline, resulting in a 2010 that was the lowest scoring in many years. So far scoring is up quite a bit in 2011, though it's hard to judge this early.

2011 - 4.73
2010 - 4.38
2009 - 4.61
2008 - 4.65
2007 - 4.80
2006 - 4.86
2005 - 4.59
2004 - 4.81
2003 - 4.73
2002 - 4.62
2001 - 4.78
2000 - 5.14
1999 - 5.08
1998 - 4.79
1997 - 4.77

The person who runs the Mets jumbotron aired this clip after their opening day loss, and their front office was not happy about it...

bferr1 · 04-03-2011, 09:14 PM

Red Sox off to a crap start! I'm ready for winter already!

cajmoyper · 04-03-2011, 09:58 PM

It'll be alright. They just opened up with a series against the best hitting team in all the bigs!!!! :bearclaw: :antlers:

The Mets front office should be more concerned with their own terrible job performance dating back many years.

Moviefan1203 · 04-03-2011, 10:04 PM

I'm not getting excited about early season baseball this season. I'm tired of getting pumped about Toronto starting 14-6, only to end up in 3rd or 4th place in their division at the end of the season. It's disheartening.

I wish I had your confidence! The Sox did lose ten straight Spring Training games. They have a lot to prove, and I'm starting to get a Miami Heat vibe here...

We scorched Nathan today. Your outfield saved you the game in the 9th (2 great plays). I know he's coming off of Tommy John surgery but he's going to have to get some movement on that fastball or he's gonna get lit up.

Hope your pitching staff comes together for the 4 in The Bronx.

Gettin' ready for the A's.
