Too early?
Yanks going to play today or are they going to wimp out like The Sox and Tribe did yesterday?
Oh, they are playing and kicking a$$. I couldn't wait for the season to start after the travesty that last football season had been.
Yes, been looking forward to some baseball. Not sure how The Red Sux will pan out this year though. Hopefully better than last year...LOL.
Why didn't The Yanks and Astros open in Houston where there isn't any snow on the ground......?

Hey, this is the big leagues. They play in any weather (unless it's raining, of course).
Sox win! Missed the game due to work / school
Nice to have an ace in the rotation. Also, Mookie is the man!!

That was a cr@ppy way to lose a game. I'm not saying reversing the call was "wrong". I'm saying changing major league rules to mimic little league rules is wrong. 
And what about Gibbons comment?
John Gibbons On Safe Sliding: “Maybe We’ll Come Out Wearing Dresses Tomorrow” | The Big Lead
Basically, he said, "maybe tomorrow we'll come out wearing dresses". I don't actually think it's a sexist comment. Girls don't wear dresses to play baseball either.

He gets us.

If you chose to watch the video he posted, at the end of it, when they are showing the Jays at the Leafs game, it's funny hearing the Blue Jays song on the hockey pipe organ.

The Jays have been outplayed the first two games. But I suspect the new turf is an additional disadvantage to the home team right now. That ball is doing unexpected stuff, bouncing much higher than they are accustomed to, in the field they knew so well.
I don't think that is why they lost, but it's not helping.
Or perhaps because you're Stephen freaking King! (Freaking is kind of a double entendre, lol.)
Anyway, I think the netting has been there at our dome since the beginning, and while I would not chose to sit that close without the netting I completely understand what he's saying. And nobody is forcing me to sit there, are they?
Do you think law suits are what is causing this?
I would say it has to be the reason. I don't think they would change something that's working.
I didn't hear that he had died either. There wasn't much baseball on TV when I was a teen so the Saturday game of the week was a big deal. I watched it every week and I enjoyed Joe and Tony Kubek doing those games. Here is an article about Joe I dug up on the espn site.
Legendary announcer Joe Garagiola Sr. dies at age 90
In Colorado, the story is Story. Brand new to MLB, and he hits seven homers in his first six games. He hasn't even played his first ten major league games yet, and his gloves and batting helmet are already at Cooperstown. He was NL Player of the Week in his very first week, leading the league in runs and RBIs. If he kept up this pace, which of course he can't do, he'd have over 180 home runs by season's end, and the Rockies' best hope will still be a wildcard spot.
Yes. It is the threat of lawsuits. There were two incidents at Fenway last year where a fan was struck by a ball or bat.
I agree with Mr. King abut the netting. It's an overcompensation for what, statistically, is a minimal risk.
