Crazy comeback/walkoff HR from the Reds today.

Twins manager Ron Gardenhire announced Thursday that Joe Nathan and Matt Capps will share the closer role early in the season.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire hedged a bit over the weekend, but this is absolutely the right move. The main issue that is the Twins want to see that Nathan is truly healthy and can pitch multiple days in a row. "We know our closer situation and how we're going to handle that," said Gardenhire. "We've talked to Joe and Capper about it. We know Joe can't go three, four or five days in a row, or maybe even two, so we'll protect him early. We have two pretty good ones there." Capps is worth owning for now, but if all goes well, Nathan will have the job all to himself soon.

“We are simply asking for the same rate that YES charges the other three dominant TV providers in the market,” a DirecTV statement said, referring to Comcast, Cablevision and Time Warner.

The DirecTV message further stated, ”If YES Network goes dark, MLB Extra Innings and NBA League Pass customers will continue to see Yankees and Nets games but will not have access to the YES Network feed. In most instances DirecTV will provide the opposing team’s feed for these packages. If you receive YES Network as your local RSN, unfortunately these games will not be available.”

3:45 p.m.: YES just came out with the following (meaningless) statement: “We are negotiating in good faith with DirecTV in hopes of resolving this matter quickly.”

So as of tomorrow there will be no YES network.

If my old man was alive he'd be flipping sh&! right now.

You might want to check into streaming games. I have YES network but I'm not too familiar with it. Maybe they have some sort of online streaming available.

Did the Yankees opening day game really not sell out? I noticed this on ESPN. I suppose it's possible since the game was early afternoon in the cold when most people are working.

NavsterKing: we went and saw your Giants last summer when they came through Toronto. Aaron Hill hit a 2 run homer off of Matt Cain on this pitch and we beat 'em 3-0

. We need A LOT more of this from Hill and Adam Lind (on deck in pic) if we're to contend in the A.L. Beast. Last season's output from these 2 was a F'n JOKE.

Good Luck this year. If that pitching staff stays healthy they should repeat in the N.L. West.

ChadFL · 03-31-2011, 11:52 PM

Why is Jonathan Sanchez the Giants opening day starter? He's their 3rd string pitcher at best.

Oops...didn't see tonight's game listing. Aside from Tejada did the Giants make any significant offseason moves? Their lineup and pitching looks pretty much the same. Then again when you're defending champs you don't need to do much.

thats pretty much it, our only major loss was Uribe, which the Dodgers overpayed for, but o well... We'll have Posey for a full year, Ross whos been clutch.. and also our new guy Brandon Belt, whos supposed to be the next Posey like rookie senstation.. only time will tell... With our pitching staff all we really need is an average of 3 runs a game, and we'll probably win the division..

It wouldn't surprise me at all if the Giants do repeat and win another championship. Their starting pitching isn't as good as Philly's but it's closer than people think. And their relief pitching is far better than the Phillies. I wouldn't even countout my Braves. We have our best team in years with a lot of great young talent. If the pieces fall into place I think we could challenge the Phillies in the NL East.

Yah your right Giants and Phils are very close.. and if Zito can have a season anything close to the pitcher he use to be.... watch out... Braves is another team to watch out for.. to me Uggla is a HUGE pickup, if not the Best in the NL!!!

And the game is under way.. Beat L.A!

Navster · 04-01-2011, 12:41 AM

Man Kershaw has a wicked Curve-ball/Slider

Navster · 04-01-2011, 01:52 AM

wow 2 errors in a row allows the Dodgers to score... Really

ChadFL · 04-01-2011, 02:17 AM

Lincecum is a great pitcher but he can't win with zero run support.

Walts Ghost · 04-01-2011, 02:53 AM

Man the Giants aren't doing so hot tonight. It's such a bummer...Hopefully the next game is better.

Walts Ghost · 04-01-2011, 02:55 AM

Way to go Burrell! Home runs are always welcome.

Lincecum was brilliant as usual. If not for all the errors he'd have a shutout.

Walts Ghost · 04-01-2011, 03:01 AM

Damn, game over.

That's just depressing...

Better luck next game Giants.
