Around SBN: Jerry Sandusky's Wife Tries To Run A Reporter Over

Game Thread: Game 1 vs the Cubs

H_tiny by JD Arney on in News

TIME: 2:10 @ Great American Ball Park
                                       

CUBS PROBABLE:                      REDS PROBABLE:
Carlos Zambrano (0-0, 0.00)      Aaron Harang (0-0, 0.00

You'll find the Cubs perspective here. Al's a great guy (especially for a Cubs fan!), so if you decide to head over and do some commenting be nice!

Opening Day + Ohio State in the national championship all in the space of twelve hours, this could be either the greatest day in the history of ever, or one of the worst, so let's keep our fingers crossed for the former.

Go Reds!

All Things Bubba: Because how can you not love a baseball player named "Bubba"?

Go Reds!
Looks like the weather will be beautiful today, as opposed to last year - here's to the game having the same opposite outcome!
It's a new season, I'm working up something positive.

Go Reds!!!!
I am so excited. We got up early and went down to look at the Opening Day tree and open gifts. I got a 1958 Frank Robinson, a 62 Vada Pinson, a Ken Griffey rookie card, and a 76 Reds team card in my glove that we hung by the fireplace with care. I opened another gift and received a rain check for Marty Brennamen's CD. I hope it comes today in the mail. We normally would take the tree down this evening but we'll leave it up for the OSU game tonight. I love Opening Day. Wire to Wire Baby and remember Hope Springs Eternal

National Holiday
Since I'm a student with no class on Mondays, I'm free to watch the game.  But I'm curious what working stiffs do on opening day.  I'm pretty sure I'd be tempted to call in sick every year.  So my question for everyone is what lengths you've gone to in order to enjoy this unofficial national holiday.

Also, I've never had the pleasure of living in Cincinnati, so I've always wondered if a lot of offices shut down for the day.  If they don't, they should.

"Designated Hitters suck"
I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

Reds up 3-1
Mid 5th.

Dunn 2HR, 3RBI.

Cubs scored in the top of the 5th with a single and a single with a throwing error by Freel.

Harang is still in there but at 97 pitches through 5.

Reds. All runs on Dunn homers. Harang has labored the past 2 innings but has gotten out of jams. Cubs only run came on a Freel throwing error.

by teb7 on Apr 2, 2007 3:41 PM EDT up reply actions  

Damn...
Freel is playing WAY to out of control out there.

But, are we sure it's Ryan Freel playing center and not Farney? Because that's the type of boneheaded play Farney would try.

When Griffey is lacing hits the other way, I'm a happy person.

Harang was awesome save for a couple innings when he wasn't very efficient, but the defense bailed him out.

Speaking of defense, we finally found a shortstop who belongs in the company of Concepcion and Larkin.

Freel was out of control today, but I can't fault a guy for being aggressive.

washed by times waters as the rose and fell
and broke in days and years

i had a thought for noone's but your ears
that you were beautiful and that I strove
to love you in the old high ways of love
that it had all seemed perfect and yet we'd grown
as waery-hearted as that hollow moon.

1AM Baseball Tonight telecast
Kruk has some serious hair. Might have a cameo in Blades of Steel?

Schilling got lit up. Menace has him on his team, and admitted to tweaking the roster last night 3am in the Rookie AL only league. Sadly, this is the only guy on any team I know.  Haven't seen my roster yet..sure it sux.

Mallory's 1st pitch. GOOD LORD! No wonder he was practicing @ gabp last week at night.

Cory Lidle's son threw out first pitch. Moving.

ARod has 465 career taters, struggles with infield pop ups.

Pavano hasn't pitched in 18 months and he's the Yanks opening day starter?

Meche worth $55 mil? And he's number 55? (Got the win to boot)

Sheets goes CG, and Hall goes Web Gem/Home Run. I think I hate the Brewers.

by obc on Apr 3, 2007 1:38 AM EDT reply actions  

Yup
A-Rod's weakness is popups.  He's GG caliber defense (when he's not being a head case, anyway).  Except for popups.  I hold my breath when A-Rod has to catch a popup.  He drops them, the falls backwards on his butt trying to catching them, he bobbles them multiple times before finally gloving them.  I don't blame Jeter for not trusting him with popups.  

There's a contingent of Yankee fans who have been pushing for Jeter to move to the outfield for years. Some Jeter defender always comes back with, "A-Rod should move to the outfield, not Jeter." Uh, no.  A guy who can't catch fly balls shouldn't be in the outfield.

I didn't know Lidle's son threw out the first pitch.  I heard it was going to be his wife, Melanie.  I thought Lidle's kid was really young.
