I don't think either the Yanks or Sawx are that good this year - insufficient starting pitching, Lester and Sabathia being the only reliable starter in each rotation. I think both will be doing well to stay in contention and then look to add pitching from struggling teams in July. I wouldn't rule out a third team coming through in the division and shocking them (Baltimore???).This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

There is baseball commentary on Radio Five Live Sport Extra, unfortunately accompanied by some laddish remarks from a UK studio during the US adverts.
It's Phillies at Atlanta.

Well, I'm glad I was able to enjoy Spring Training, as it looks like it's going to be a long season - plenty of hits, but very few runs being generated right now.
Bottom of the AL Central, with the very surprising (and unfancied) Indians sitting pretty right now.
Still VERY early mind you - The Baltimore Orioles are making a lot of people eat their words early doors - they've flown out of the traps in the AL East.
Tampa Bay smashed the Red Sox last night 16-5 at Fenway!Madness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Been great for me so far watched loads of games.
Pleased to see the A's are getting some wins on the board now, i cant see us getting any better than finishing with a record around .500 though.

Same Old Mets
Reyes, Wright and Davis are on fire - however our bullpen absolutely suck.

Will it work on my TV though or will I have to apply the changes you said about regarding playing the game on the PS3?

Not been following the AL too closely but the Yankees look supreme at the moment. A Rod is killing it.

I'll be honest, I know little about baseball but since I have ESPN I've been watching it and I'm pleasantly suprised by how much I actually enjoy it. As I'm a Penguins fan (and less so a Steelers fan) I thought I'd make it a hat-trick of the Pittsburgh teams - so I'd happily see the Pirates stay put!
Supporting the Penguins is usually at odds with my Hibs supporting, as I usually expect (nay, demand!) a Penguins victory - so the Pirates are more "my level" of team too.

Most of the A's pitching so far has been excellent, but when the bats don't work we lose, too many games with only 1 or less runs scored!

Cubs Dominican shortstop Starlin Castro has had an amazing start to the season. Batting .375 and leading the league in hits...he's the youngest player in the league at 21 and a few days...and already probably our key offensive player. Bound to get injured.

Now officially our worst start in franchise history. One paltry win at citi field and we've been hosting teams like the Nationals and the Astros!

Makes our rather abysmal 9-10 record seem quite respectable, though we are 4.5 games behind the Indians already.
On the plus side, my Red Wings look like proper contenders for the Stanley CupMadness, as you know, is a lot like gravity. All it takes is a little push.

Not that I was around in 1962 but Casey Stengel had a brilliant quote along the lines of "Come see my "Amazin' Mets, I've been in this game a hundred years, but I see new ways to lose I never knew existed before." That sums up the team at the moment.
Don't even mention the NHL, my Islanders must rival the Mets for NY's most irrelevant franchise at the moment. Although good to see Grabner up for the Calder Trophy - absolute steal off the waiver wire.

Mets fans must be hoping for a Dodgers-style "intervention" by MLB.

Have good box seats for the Yankees versus White Sox on Tuesday. No affection for the Yankees, but my first visit to the new Yankee Stadium. Anybody been? What's it like compared to the old place next door?

The club have done a pretty amazing job of creating somewhere that although much more modern, still gives you a feeling of being in Yankee Stadium. The design, the fact they brought over some of the old stuff etc etc. is great. Unfortunately however, it's impossible to properly recreate what was there before in terms of the history etc so the actual game day/night experience is not a patch on what it was before.
With all the huge open concourses where you can still see the game, the big halls etc, there's more a feel of a social gathering than a sporting occasion and it's unbelievable how few folk are sitting in their seats during the game. It does look nice however and the place can still rock on big nights. The claim that the club have priced hardcore fans out the game seems to ring true though as it's not as boisterous as before most nights.
If you can get along early, monument park is still worth a visit and the inside of the stadium is great for a walk around. They have a museum inside which is small but still good to have a look at.
