Opening Day

Who do you think I am, Bartman?

I was in the hospital when that travesty occured, the nurse rushed in to find out what I was yelling about.

I hope your right that the Cubs will be in the playoffs and that I will be in the bleachers, sorry the Bud Light Bleachers.

first night games, now this?
that just can't do that to wrigley...

Rough home opener for the Nats, although with Pedro pitching today should be interesting given what happened in NY. Tough appearance for Cheney

Baseball Bounces, Crowd Boos as Cheney Throws Out First Pitch

WASHINGTON ?- Greeted with a loud chorus of "boos" and some cheers, Vice President Dick Cheney threw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Washington Nationals' Major League Baseball home opener on Tuesday.

Christening the team's second season as they played the New York Mets, the vice president stood directly in front of the mound and released a ball that hit the dirt in front of home plate. Nationals catcher Brian Schneider scooped it up.

am guessing the umpire will issue warnings to both clubs before today's 1st pitch...

its not a misprint, folks -- my mets have the best record in All of Baseball

Yeah, I noticed. I am not looking forward to the rest of the Brewer's road trip. We're in New York at the end of this week.

If we keep pitching and fielding the way we have this past week, you should have a fun time watching, Region!

Brewers STILL have a team?

Alright man, put 'em up, put 'em up!

They do NOW, since Selig sold the team to an owner who is interested in spending money and WINNING.

They have a respectable club now, I think, their first since '93. **** that's a long time.

The Mets put a serious beat down on the Nats today. Why do I have this feeling they are going to play great until the all star break, and then flounder ?

the secret to thair success --

Don't get your hopes up for the Mets chances, they were just playing the Nats. That was an ugly series for my team. I'm still disappointed nobody beamed Pedro that punk.

Back to a familiar topic, looks like more bad news for Barry.

Grand Jury Investigating Bonds on Perjury Charges

SAN FRANCISCO ?- A federal grand jury is investigating whether Barry Bonds committed perjury when he testified in 2003 that he never used steroids, a person with knowledge of the probe told The Associated Press on Thursday night.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the secrecy of the investigation.

The panel has been hearing evidence for more than a month about whether Bonds lied to a different grand jury that was investigating the BALCO scandal. The existence of the grand jury was first reported by CNN on Thursday. The San Francisco Chronicle also reported the story.

Fox News

Yep. Things are getting interesting on the Bonds watch...

glavine struck out 11?
not bad for an old geezer...


as a long-suffering mets fan, i know better.
just enjoying it while it lasts...
i agree, pedro is a punk.
i hope that punk wins about 22 more games!

The punk pitched a great game tonight...Atlanta will be chasing the Mets this year.

We can only hope...

(Another long suffering Mets fan)

Here's what's different this year...defense.

plus, i think randolph imported a little of that NYY-winning aura

say, whoodathunk bonds would be homerless 2 weeks into the season?

wouldn't it be ironic if he went the entire year without a dinger...

As of now, Bronson Arroyo has 2 more homers than Bonds in the season.

And Schmidt, the Giant pitchers, has a better batting average.
