    Welp, I have better things to do than watch this. You guys have a good one.

[Halsey Hall]

2 outs and I've seen enough.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

70 beautiful degrees in the land of 8 month winters and no one is at the ballpark to see one of the leagues premier pitchers and hated arch rivals... Hmmm

[SydneyTwinsFan]

4 runs is a bit greedy, no?  I'm sure 1 would have been enough for Price.

[Mill1634]

That is fair. 

[Richie the Rally Goat]

I actually like the idea of having Schafer and Robinson both start every once in a while. It's not like Arcia is hitting, so why not at least have a little defense out there?

is it too much to ask for both hitting and fielding from the same players?

[Blake]

Groundhog day. 

 

Someone best buy a lottery ticket, because that call was right on the money.

 

 

[Tibs]

It ain't over 'til it's over...

[ashbury]

"... hit right at Anthony Gose. He drifts over..."

 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

 

It ain't over 'til it's over...

 

But opening day is over.  Alas.

 

We scored quicker this time!  Huzzah for Dozier and Plouffe!

[ashbury]

Plouffe bleeds one through the infield for an RBI. We'll take it.

[gil4]

 

Takes 6 innings to determine a Quality Start, but we can sometimes tell a Bad Start by the second batter.

Doesn't it take at least 4 batters?

[Tibs]

 

Doesn't it take at least 4 batters?

 

You would hope so

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Following on MLB, and I am seeing things like:

 

Pickoff attempt,

Pickoff attempt,

Pickoff attempt,

wild pitch, runner to second.

 

Uff da.

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Nice play DanSan

[Squirrel]

Nice DP! Just trying to hold onto the positives here.

[sampleSizeOfOne]

That was a sharp double play!

 

And for positives, didn't the intro include puppies? What can possibly go wrong?

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Robinson looks like a kid trying to swing an adult bat. Can Bruno help the guy pick out an appropriate size stick?

You are inviting answers ... therefore you get the blame when/if it does go wrong!

[Richie the Rally Goat]

Good job Robinson

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

Robinson 9 pitch at bat, draws a walk? Not bad

[Richie the Rally Goat]

That's a heckofa strategy by the strategist. Put the struggling young pup who's o-fer-ahundred into the nine-hole

[Squirrel]

Cmon, Dozey-boy!

[Squirrel]

Sigh. Again ... I seem to be doing this wrong ...

2. Excitement in Michigan -- I think the people of Michigan are very excited about this team. In a way... That's Good... because the people of Michigan need something to get excited about. I have no idea why anyone would want to live in Michigan. The State really needs to start recruiting talented people and it looks like the state is rebounding in that department. There are many famous people from Michigan... There's Umm... Bob Seger... and... Grand Funk Railroad... Tim Allen... President Ford... Umm... Some other people... Mike Modano.

Did you really have to struggle for good/iconic musicians from Michigan?

 

Besides the entire stable-full of talent from the golden age of Motown...

 

you have, to name but a few...

 

Betty Carter

George Winston

Ted Nugent

Bill Haley

Alice Cooper

Iggy Pop

Noel "Paul" Stookey

 

and one of the most unappreciated, proto-punk garage rockers-

 

Rob Tyner and MC5- who gained legendary status in the late 60s with "Kick out the Jams"

Well spoke!

 

In the immortal words of Jules:

 

"If my answers frighten you then you should cease asking scary questions."

 

I take the blame for any more puppy pictures.

Nah... I was jamming for time so I rolled through a few names off the top of my head. 

 

What I was really struggling with was... finding a decent photo to accompany it. 

[sampleSizeOfOne]

Another double play... Somewhat less impressive though. Still, 2 outs ain't nothin' to scoff at.

you couldn't find a picture of Stevie Wonder?

[Hosken Bombo Disco]

yeah why did this start out as a puppy-hating thread, anyway?
