PrintArizona Diamondbacks at Cincinnati Reds, Mar 31, 2008 2:10 PM EDT
It's Opening Day once again. Somehow the grass is greener. The temperature is warmer. Aaron Harang is a little less ugly. Isn't it glorious?
This game is the start and continuation of a new era for the Reds. I think we can all see some positive direction for the organization, even if things aren't going precisely as we'd like them. Here's hoping this season gets started off on a positive note!
And I'll give the SBN guys some credit. They've added some neat little features for the game threads. Not sure if they'll all work properly today, but I'm looking forward to seeing them in action. Hopefully they'll add to the pleasure of being drunk on boobs's couch, if anything truly can add to that experience.

Since it's Opening Day (yay!), I won't bother pointing out that's racist
But perhaps the "What Makes the Red Man Red?" song from Peter Pan might have been more appropriate for the occasion.

Why is Stanton listed on the 25 man roster
but Cueto isn't. I checked at Reds.com, it is strange. I guess the Reds have yet to officailly do all the roster moves.

By the way
boobs says the number in parentheses after the pitcher's name above is his weight in stones. And since boobs is the sitting chairman on the RR Official Weights and Measures board, I'm obligated to accept his explanation.
Don't talk back to Darth Vader or he'll getcha!
A stone is equal to 14 lbs.
Therefore, each pitcher weighs over a ton.
Ray King's weight is measured in boulders.

Happy Opening Day
I'm going down for the game, but I had to come in for a half day of work. Enjoy it guys. Let's hope for a repeat of 05, the last opening day I attended.

My settings are for Eastern time and yet this page helpfully tells me the game is on at 11:10am PDT.
Curses on ESPN for not showing the game and curses on MLB for not making the Reds the first game of the year anymore.

a County Commissioner
I would have been happier with one of the local "Survivor" contestants...or JD, rumor is he still exists. (Not that i have proof....)
JD is probably more qualified
to throw out the first pitch than this guy.
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
This guy has a debilitating disease and has to use a walker.
He was a fine high school athlete and a track star at Kenyon. Todd Portune, ladies and gentlemen, even if you don't like his politics, he is a genuinely nice and good guy.
Change is so exciting. I never know what the hell is going on. I love Chaos,
I honestly don't know much about the guy.
But I do think there are plenty of people more deserving than a county commissioner to throw out the first pitch at one of the greatest traditions in sports. It's arguably the most heralded sporting event in the city every year, and the first pitch people usually are pretty high-profile guys.
Personally, I think it would have been fitting for Kim Nuxhall to get the honor, but I digress.
"My wife ain't never ran and got me no pheasant." - Fistbands
True that it is an honor deserving someone of a higher post, but at least Mr. Mallory isn't back on the mound.
Change is so exciting. I never know what the hell is going on. I love Chaos,
we should make that happen
RedReporter night @ GABP!! JD throws out the first pitch, OBC, Ash and Sukr throw down the first beers, Officer Dibble throws out the first drunk (provided it is not OBC, Ash, or Sukr)
Hope Springs Eternal! Go Reds
I still exist, baby on the way and swamped with work... but I have a sweet LCD TV in my office now so I'm pretty excited about being able to watch the Reds while working.

Slyde... what new features should we be looking for?
Will they show up automatically on this page?
The season doesn't start until the Cincinnati Reds take the field! Reclaim The Opener!!
yes, hopefully
Lineups should pop up automatically under the pictures once they get posted to the system, though it wasn't working right for the game last night. Also, I believe the grey box at the top of the post should turn into a linescore. I think eventually a live boxscore should be available through the site as well, but I'm not sure on that one. I think there should be a bare bones gameday type feature as well.
At least, that's sort of what I've heard.
Don't talk back to Darth Vader or he'll getcha!
there will be a regularly updating linescore
at the top of this thread and at the top of the blog
it's not real-time, but probably updates every few minutes or so
the lineups will not automatically appear...although we're working on that for later down the road

I embedded the lineup widget already
Will it automatically update when the lineups are posted? I think it is still embedded there.
Don't talk back to Darth Vader or he'll getcha!
it does not automatically update
also, disregard what I said above about the linescore in the gamethread - we took it out this morning because it's up top where no one can see it and it's an unnecessary load on the server since it refreshes so often
I'm one of the guys that built the new SB Nation
by Trei Brundrett on Mar 31, 2008 2:04 PM EDT up reply actions
Cool, I've actually added the boxscore widget at the top as well
So, it's there for us, and it's not repeated.
I think I've figured out the bug on new items being marked as read when they appear above the item you are reading. It looks like using z (instead of C-X) marks everything above where you are as read. Does this make sense?
I'm switching to C-X instead of just Z.

who here has been to opening day?
I went to opening day 1999. Brett Tomko started, the Reds lost to the Giants. I was sitting under the jumbotron. Some drunk guy next to me kept shouting "BONDS YOU SUCK, YOUR DAD SUCKED, YOU MOM SUCKED, YOUR KIDS SUCK!"

Ya'll are gonna think this is realllllly corny.
I spent a summer in Minneapolis right after college. Met a lovely gal. She introduced me to this song. I liked it. Quite a bit. I guess I even liked it a little bit more than I ever liked her. But she was good to me. She let me listen to Twins games on the radio any time I wanted. Herb Carneal and John Gordon taught me things about "the game within the game" that I knew nothing about. I fell in love. With baseball.

One more homer gives him the record for dingers on Opening Day
Or ties it. Either way, how 'bout going yard, Grif?

He's the best player the Reds have
that inning.
Good thing nobody got on base for the middle of the lineup.
Don't talk back to Darth Vader or he'll getcha!
i think patience is most important against a guy like webb
you have to take walks and get a couple lucky hits. if you just go up hacking all day you're toast

that first inning kinda put a damper on the whole opening day thing
Error, wild pitch, unearned run
ground out, K, K
lets start over
I call bullshit
on this new mlb.com SilverChair player (or whatever). Anyone else trying to watch in 1.2M mode? Mine keeps crappin out after 60 seconds or so.

i just posted about this below...
but, agreed, this silverlight thing is awful. 1.2 is very choppy, and 800k isn't much better. i uninstalled and went back to the old player.
OK... relax
1457 innings left, give or take.... things will get better.

tech question
I can't get MLB.com sites to open properly with Safari. It says there's a height and weight problem that makes the page load on a loop. Any suggestions?
Did I mention how much I love MLB products?
Plus ca change...
This sounds like a weights and measures question
boobs?
