dice v ichiro???????????

[mizanation]

^^^ this has the makings for a huge rivalry.

[GoodHustle]

Ichiro has never batted well against DMat in the Japanese leagues so you know Ichiro has been waiting for another shot against him. DMat has also said that Ichiro is the one batter he has wanted to face the most. And while the media focuses on those two, Felix Hernandez takes the mound for the Mariners, and he absolutely dominated in his last start. This game should be great!!!

[mizanation]

yeah, i think the real rivalry will probably be between felix and dice-k!

game starts in 30 minutes. had my wife set up the tivo.

any predictions????

[cuddlysheep]

dice is going to get rolled *snake eyes*

[GoodHustle]

Felix and Dice K are both looking good so far. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Felix throws a no hitter!

[ilovespaz]

again....felix hernandez.....

1 hitter complete game shut out, last year's sports illustrated cover should have been done this year.

[nothx]

Really disappointed at yankees' pitcher line-up. But suprising, they are doing okay. When Wang comes back, everything will change.

man toronto lost star closer bj ryan for around 4-6 weeks with a injury. it will be difficult without him.

[nettiemoore]

oh and the jays are off to a 7-5 record to start the season if anyone is interested.

[GoodHustle]

nettiemoore - I heard about all those injuries, tough break man.

kiya - Very nice jacket. Uniqlo Japan has a jacket with very similar details on the front. The material and construction probably can't compare to your FH but the Uniqlo jacket is only 3,000 yen.

Did anyone go to any games on Sunday? Not sure if anyone cares but I went to the Dodgers game that day (it was Jackie Robinson Day). I had pretty decent seats so I got to see Hank Aaron, Ernie Banks and some other legends up close. And it was cool to see everyone wear the number 42.

[Larry Bird]

^^^^^^

the only game i really cared to watch got rained out...shit sucked.

oh and the jays are off to a 7-5 record to start the season if anyone is interested.

im watching em...they got a good team this year, im guessing they gonna make the playoffs..i think they will be ok without Ryan.

atlanta looks like their back to themselves again.

No hitter from Mark Buehrle GO SOX!!!!

[Brooklyn Zoo]

los world angeles series dodgers.

[mspark]

Igewa (sp) pitched well for the Yankess tonight. I need Wang to hurry the fuck back though.

[socalcoolhunter]

I went to the Dodger Stadium for Jackie Robinson day as well. Kicked ass! Cool comemorative, and one of the best ball games I'd ever been to. Stuck it to the rival Padres grabbing the series, 9-2 victory! I got Mike Cameron's auto after the game which was cool.

Overall the dodgers are looking great Ethier is heating up, and hopefully Kemp will be off the DL soon. The only big loss is Schmitt.

Juan Pierre is pissing me off though! He needs to go in the closet and figure out where the hell he left his game...sometimes he scares me when playing outfield (and frankly I have a better throughing arm.), and I don't care if he can steal a million bases, if he can't get to the first one it doesn't matter much.

Dodgers NL Champs!

[Larry Bird]

No hitter from Mark Buehrle GO SOX!!!!

yeeeee. first white sox pitcher to throw one in sixteen seasons..texas got rocked.

anyone see charlie mannuel (sp?, phillies skipper) go off on that reporter after the games against the mets?....dude challenged him to a fight and started shouting nonsense and shit! i never saw charlie so mad, he's always really mellow..wonder if bud is gonna suspend him or give him a fine..

[Larry Bird]

RIP JOSH HANCOCK.

only 29.....

[lil brown brother]

old man moyer almost threw a no hitter ... he still got it

hey yankees have fun with the prima dona roger clemens...all that $ still wont buy you a championship...hey roger, your gonna get blasted next time you come to h-town..poser ass texan... and draytons gonna knock your son out of our minor league system...he just kept him in there becuase of you.

[mizanation]

that's some pretty clean gear, kiya.

am very dissapointed with matsuzaka. seems like the size and slipperiness of the MLB ball is fucking with him. i hope he gets more consistent soon....

[nettiemoore]

blue jays havent had a good start to the season at all. today they lost their ninth game in a row against the red sox.

whats evens more unfortunate is that it was announced that bj ryan will have tommy johns surgery. he will be lost for the rest of this season and also possibly early into spring training next season.

[GoodHustle]

^^^BJ Ryan is basically done for next season too. It takes two years to fully recover ball speed and velocity after Tommy John surgery so next year Ryan won't be as dominant as he is usually.

Dice-K's last outing was pretty good. I think the thing he needs to focus on is throwing strikes when there are runners in scoring position. Runners on base seems to throw him off (perhaps he's just not used to that since he was pretty dominant in Japan), and he starts to walk a lot of guys. If he can get those walks under control, he'll be great.

[kiya]

A's = 17 runs

wow.

[Larry Bird]

^^^^

yea, but it was the royals!! i dont think that really counts.

i bought a kansas city royals fitted last week... alex gorden ?

[mizanation]

red sox are doing really, really well.

look at their pitching. they have wakefield, beckett (7 wins-0 losses), matsuzaka and schilling. all with at least 4 wins a piece. closing they have okajima (0.53 ERA), papelbon (10 saves!).

plus their bats are crazy.

matsuzaka is getting better. if everyone stays healthy, it looks like world series time again.
