I'll be curious to see Johan Santana's next contract..

Pretty sure he's going to be making 5.5-7 million next year.

Yeah far cry from 25

$5,000 appearance fee at a Dick's Sporting Goods.

The fact that I'm going to start talking about the Reds every day starting tomorrow has me bonkers.

Looks like the roof is going to be closed for the Rangers-Astros game tonight.

Starting tomorrow? :p

Good luck in the series with the Angels, BTW. I like the Reds in general, and it will be interesting to see the ANgels open their season in the traditional opening city of baseball.

The Astros GM is very gay.

I didnt get that. seemed well spoken to me.

JBJ starting in LF for Boston. He should spend 20 days in the minors at some point this year (to maintain team control for 2019), and it makes the Victorino signing look even worse, but it's great to see the rapid progress he's made. Iglesias at SS too for at least 2 weeks until Drew gets back, and a healthy WMB at 3rd, so even if we lose games we've got some young players to root for instead of an entire roster of AAAA cast-offs and disappointing, overpaid veterans.

SP's Allen Webster and Rubby De La Rosa will both start in AAA, but have been getting great reviews all spring, and I'm excited to see them when the inevitable SP DL stints hit.

It's time, gentlemen and ladies.

Bryce Harper starts his MVP run early.

HR!!!!!

David Wright starts his MVP run early

REACH ON AN ERROR!!!!!

Let's be real. David Wright doesn't stand a chance at winning the MVP. :D

MLB.tv on my iphone is good stuff.

I get it every year, awesome stuff.

If you have Apple TV you can watch the games on your TV through it

I have the app on the 360 and watch them with that.

Yea, MLB.tv is a glorious thing. On the PC, my phone, PS3. Baseball overload wherever I am.

edit: meh, this probably isn't allowed on FOFC

Newsflash. Bryce Harper is very very good.

ANOTHER HARPER HR!!!!!!!!!!!

He is on pace to hit 324 HRs this season!

Sox score 4 on Sabathia in the 2nd. Yankees pitching staff is clearly terrible - they'll be lucky to go .500. Jon Lester no-hitter thru 8 batters - he's back! Jose Iglesias OPS'ing 2.000 with an RBI single (ok, infield hit). Jackie Bradley with a walk and a run - HAS STILL NEVER MADE AN MLB OUT!!!

(What's this SSS people keep mentioning?)

Must be the OOTP player editing, all batting skills set to max.

Brent Lillibridge has a 0% fielding percentage.

And Marmol is still awful. The entire office let out a collective groan when he came in, and he lived down to our expectations.

And that sound you hear is the collective clicks of fantasy baseball owners trying to add Collin Cowgill to their teams (only to drop him a week later).

And Ludwick with a probably dislocated shoulder already. Ugh

Yankees are in last. Perfect start to the season.

Cubs start the season not in last place.

Anyone predicting a Cubs/Mariners WS? :lol:

All in jest though, to Cubs and Mariners fans out there. :cool:

Kershaw's having a nice game.

all you DH fans can suck it! Kershaw going deep!

Great Dodger game! Even better result!

Fixed


Hell yeah!

Dodgers better lock up Kershaw for 200 million before he ends up costing 300 mil

That's ok. Ned Colleti will give Aaron Harang a 3/30 extension soon.

Mariners will make the playoffs.

Ahhh.. another season of arguing with Reds fans!!!

GO CARDINALS!!!

Glad Kershaw can only pitch once a series max against us.

kingfc22 when the 2013 NLCS rolls around: "Son of a BITCH."

Clayton Kershaw has a career ERA of 1.37 against the Giants. I see that SOB in my nightmares.

Definitely an "I hate you, but goddammit I respect you" kind of guy.

I'd respect him a lot more as a Yankee. :D

Cano leaving Boras to join some new agency founded by JayZ and CAA. I wonder if this means that they will be more willing than Boras to play ball, or if they will go hardass in order to try to get more clients. I don't see it as some Master P type situation though. Most likely JayZ will end up selling his "share" of the Nets in order to handle basketball players.

Haha. Or anywhere else in the AL for that matter.

Is Yu Darvish throwing a no hitter right now?

Yu Darvish is doing even better. Turn on the game.

Must be cartman being at the game that's inspired him.

God damn, that would be awesome

Dun dun dun...

Fucking cartman... :mad:

We have to keep this in perspective though, it is the Astros.

That slider is filthy. Darvish is a popular Cy Young pick this year, and Astros aside, its easy to see why.
