Opening Day Overflow Thread
Treyball's pullin' all the right strings. And Gordon has homered again on Opening Day, creating a new cultural tradition of immense symbolic power.
Meche ran into some singles-based trouble in the second, but a nice play by DDJ has kept the game tied.
Let's build a bridge to Farnsworth.

Any idea how many pitches he faced in the 1st inning? I worry as it seems in the past he didn’t try to take nearly as many in the 3 spot as he did in the 1. He’s even talked about the need to take pitches for other hitters in the lineup when he leads off.

I'm impressed by the way he is seeing the ball
watch his head
I used to mow Seitzer's lawn when I was a kid.
Man was his wife HOOOOOOOOT!
Best was when Saberhagen showed up one night drunk and parked on Seitzer's lawn.

Buehrle worried about his pitch count
Buehrle did not want to throw 15 pitches to Teahen again so he decided to just plunk him early.

Big inning for meche here
top of the lineup, the real top
realistically speaking
I don't want this game to remain 2-1
If for nothing more than fear of top setup man Kyle Farnsworth pitching the 8th. Yes, that’s right.
Top gopher ball deliverer
realistically speaking
weren't some people worried
about Gilgamesh’s spring?
oh I get it
instead of pretty girls, you’re putting up pictures to drive us AWAY from this thread to the other one
Kansas City Royals: your 2006 and 2007 NL Central champions!
Another nice play by gordon, 2 down
realistically speaking
I wish Gordon would turn into a MVP
just because that smirk would drive opposing fans crazy !!!
I don't know how to put this but I'm kind of a big deal.
