Last night the Giants played the A's in the annual preseason Bay Bridge series. Man did it feel good to have baseball game back on TV; my chair, Kruk and Keip announcing along with John Miller, and a really good 4-3 game.

So glad the season is almost here......

Still can't believe that the Orioles let Jon Miller go as their announcer......

My loss is your gain.......he's still one of the best!

Tim Wakefield is the Red Sox 6th starter. When is the last time that the active team leader in wins as a pitcher was the team's 6th starter? I have always loved Wakefield's attitude. He is the ultimate team player in sports today and has been throughout his career.

PADRES SPOIL CARDINAL'S HOME OPENER, 5-3

with 2 outs in the 9th, SD center-fielder Cameron Maybin clocks a 420-ft. HR to dead center to tie game, 3-3.
Maybin's single in the 11th, along with sloppy Cardinal defense allow Chase Headley to score go-ahead run.
Heath Bell does his job, and closes out victory, 5-3 in 11 innings.

Very true. Was it the 2007 WS win, where Timlin made him cry on National TV? He never lets an ego get in the way and always does what is best (or what someone thinks is best) for the team.

If it isn't bad enough that the Red Sox are 0 - 2 (meaning there season is over . . . if you listen to all the nattering nabos of negativity) there is worse news in Red Sox Nation: The National Hot Dog Council predicts that the Dodger Dog will dethrone the Fenway Frank as the top selling dog this season. Is there no end to your wrath, Lord!!!!!?????

I think it was. My favorite Boston sports moment of all time (Dave Roberts stolen base is number 2 - and if you need to ask "what stolen base?" you are not a Red Sox fan) is when Tim Wakefield was getting hammered in game 3 of the 2004 ALCS. Francona wanted to take him out and Wakefield said, "No . . . leave me in so the bullpen is fresh for game 4." That act of selflessness was the pivotal moment in the Red Sox issuing the greatest comeback in MLB playoff history.

Yup..."The Steal" will go down in history, if it hasn't already. That was certainly "THE" moment. I could watch it right now, and get chills and start crying all over again. Wakey has always been a team player, and I am glad he came back for another season. LOL...and his Picnic in the Park commercial cracks me up every year.

I didn't get to see "The Steal" live. I was on a plane above the Pacific, coming back from a work trip. I was in the terminal in Honolulu waiting for my flight when my phone rang and my Cubs-fan friend in Chicago was screaming, "I don't know where on the planet you are but for God's sake get in front of a television set!" The pilots kept track of the game and announced The Steal and the single that followed. It was amazing.

yeah, but you gotta excuse Larry, he's a Mets fan and they're not used to seeing real baseball actually being played....at least not recently

Jon, I've thought about your anti-Yankee argument. Again, I don't LIKE the Yanks, but I just see them having enough to be the wild-card this year.

You argue that their pitching staff is poor. You are correct with their starters....beyond CC and Hughes, it's VERY questionable. I hate AJ, he's awful. Nova and Garcia could jump up and surprise, but I'm not betting on it. However, this is a team that will go buy someone mid-season. Don't know who....but they'll add a big arm somewhere, they always do. Bullpen wise-I think you are dead wrong. GREAT pen. Mariano is old, but hasn't shown it. Joba, Soriano, Logan, Robertson....all can dominate. The starters, other than Phil & CC, just need to get through 5 or 6 innings.

Meanwhile, you trashed their offense. This is the part I find funny. My argument is that they have so many front-line bats....ARod, Tex, Cano....even Jeter is only 1 year removed from hitting .334 and has been above .290 for over a decade. Last year was more likely the fluke. Meanwhile, the outfield...this is what I find funny. For YEARS, you rip on the Yanks for buying guys blindly without building a team. Sheffield, Damon, Canseco, Abreu, etc. They finally listen to you, get role-players like Gardner, Grandy, Swish....and now you rip on them for not going out and buying better bats? You're being hypocritical! The lineup looks good because they've stacked speed & on-base ahead of power, followed by more OBP down the lineup. They also defeat a specialist type of bullpen manager by putting out a lineup that never has someone bat from the same side 2 hitters in a row...L,R,S,R,L,S,S,L,R. Can't use your "left-handed bullpen specialist" for more than one hitter against this team.

Again, I don't think they're going very far, because of the starting pitching. But they have enough to win the wild-card. Baltimore is improved, but not enough. Tampa is having a down year (hopefully temporary). Toronto, we disagree on, but they are just, in my mind, mediocre. Either way, the Red Sox will dominate this division barring major injuries.
