Tigers home opener today!!!! Fister for us, Nova for Yankees. I feel hopeful they can sweep this series, get the bad taste of the Twins out of their system....we'll do our best to help the Bosox

what did the Twins do to you?

Lost 2 of 3...they beat Porcello yesterday. I fear Porcello will not be a starter they can count on for much....Leyland sees something in him that most Tiger fans do not...

I can't believe detroit hasn't hit a home run yet, the red sox don't surprise me, but with detroit's lineup you'd figure one of he mashers would get ahold of one

Yeah..luckily it is early...

we've had one - Utley

Howard came close last night but it was cold and the wind was blowing in

not to mention that Turner field is humongous

So is Comerica, power alleys especially...

4th inning, Tigers up by 2. Fister's only given up 1 hit...

Well so much for the homer drought - Fielder just drove in 3 Tigers up 5-3.

8-3

Dom brown hit a HR

We're currently up 4-0

Kendrick has been in control so far.

Against the Royals that is

And our bullpen sprung a leak

Middlebrooks with 3 Hr's, awesome. Lester looked great too. Won first 2 series of the year, a great improvement from previous seasons.

Ugh...yesterday was too much CC....and our bats took a vacation...Phil Coke is back in his normal status, I dread whenever he takes the mound...

Opening Day at Fenway today!

Opening day at Busch, too!

..also, it was awesome to rain on the Giants World Series parade this past weekend.

Our pitching isn't doing well. Middle relief especially but the starters aren't the best either.

We have 3 with the Muts then 3 with the Marlins. There just has to be wins in there somewhere

I think it's the hapless muts everywhere else

home opener for the cubs...they have sucked worst than sucking than usual this year..i dont even know why i watch baseball anymore...fuck

supposed to build with new young talent..but we buy edwin jackson for a few years and millions...and he gives up 4 in the first inning...why spend money on anyone..especially him right now..jeez..buy someone that can change the game

Sorry Derek...he never worked out in Detroit...

hes way overrated and wasnt a good buy at all...i could have done a better job at this off season building...bring up baez for example....they say he's too young..its the best way to learn for the youngins when the other guys cant do it...

fuck..we play like a triple A team..might as well bring up the triple A kids...

castro jus got a triple but i think we should trade him too...hes an immature player...baez plays short..put him there..get a couple decent people for castro..he makes so many errors..

Hamels has given up 13 runs in his first two starts

he's a bought and paid for ($144 million) "game changer"

so there's that

Become a Red Sox fan

yea i dont believe in long big money contracts..but shit..im so frustrated..its been like 16 years of my life and im getting fed up with it...so many bad decisions ...i think i could do better as GM..honestly

theyre trying to rebuild with youth..but they wont bring them up, we have like 99 prospects in AAA..if the big money makers cant do it in the big leagues..bring them up..baez is 20..and they said that is too young...wtf are you waiting for?..not like you have something to protect as a team in the big leagues...

Derek, you're too young to get bitter already about the Cubs...you need to pace yourself, so you can still care enough about them to curse them into your old age

yea when theyre 105 years in a drought..i worry early..lol...

yeah that feeling needs to be nurtured until it blossoms into a full blown all consuming hatred

were about to spend i think 500 million dollars of renovations and a hotel near the stadium...

and even when they make it to the playoffs..they still have that iffy loser feeling..when wood and prior were there and we made it a couple years in a row..i had that feeling like we cant do it..and we didnt...

Positive thoughts lead to positive results.

being a red sox fan I know that feeling well, really really well, it took coming back with 4 straight wins against the yankees and a sweep of the St louis( sorry JJ) for me to lose that feeling. they will win again, and when they do hicago will burn.



In other news, Danial nava just hit a 3 run homer to break a scoreless game in the bottom of the 7th inning

on the bright side, you haven't been around for all of them

the bartman year..was our year..and we blew it..i dont even blame him for anything..we just fell apart..had the best rotation in baseball..had that game in the bag..the series in the bag..we just wanted to destroy it like usual...how can you NOT win with Wood, Prior, Zambrano, Clement, and Maddux all in their prime (not Maddux but he was still good as a fifth pitcher)...the shortstop has to let a groundball between his legs...blow the game..then lose terribly the next game against players you will later sign (derrick lee and juan pierre)...

lol

I was a die hard fan of the sox for 30+ years before they won a series, with many many heartbreaking, almost unbelievable losses along the way. I kept a scrapbook of every news story about the sox in 75,except the last game of series, I burned all of those I was so bummed

Groundball between the legs....Billy Buck ball

the same way you lose with Halladay, Lee, Oswalt and Hamels


that's the way the baseball bounces


chin up - it'll happen eventually.

Buckner, Bucky fucking dent, Aaron fucking Boone, to name just a few My father is a die hard sox fan from 1930's, you haven't begun to suffer as much as he did before the sox won one!!!

That was my first full season as a Red Sox fan( That I can remember, I was only 5!) I got to experience that heart break and many more after it until the magical 2004 season.

Aaron Boone still kills me, I still don't know WTH Grady was thinking leaving Pedro out there.
