It's ******* April. If he had hit 5 more singles, he'd have an OPS around .900 in AAA at this point.

Barry Bonds was full of himself, and he did alright.

Again it's not his fault the Nats pulled a rush job on this one. He's uber-talented so he'll figure things out pretty quickly.

I can't believe the Mets blew this game not once but twice. Sickening.

His game wasn't exactly a gem. We put all the money into the bullpen this offseason but Francisco has been pretty bad. He needs to get his game together. Rauch is mediocre and got squeezed today so I won't get on him.
If it weren't for Kemp being amazing Wright would be the early name for April MVP. So glad to see the old Wright back.

Six innings, no runs, less than a baserunner an inning. I'll take that for the rest of the season, I'm sure you would too.

Of course I'll take it but I was just haggling over your definition of a gem.

Yeah the Giants have a lot of bandwagon fans. Most don't know anyone on the team besides Lincecum and B Wilson.

Everything about them (other than Borat). I can't stand the cockblocking they are doing to prevent the A's from moving to San Jose.

Corbin had a solid but unspectacular MLB debut
5 2/3 IP, 3 ER, 8 H, 6 K, 3 BB, 1 HR and the win
http://arizona.diamondbacks.mlb.com/...685946201-1028
Lost quite a bit of velocity in the 6th, dropped about 4 mph avg on his fastball

Pedro Alvarez is absolutely locked in at the moment. It is very nice to see.

Dude has tremendous power but is still inconsistant as ****. Still, a huge improvement from last year though.

Also, Delmon Young and his drunken ass are suspended 7 games by the MLB.

It's okay, I've been a big fan my whole life, but the bandwagoners have forced me into hiding, for the most part. Luckily I live in Dallas, your hatred of Giants fans pretty much sums up my feelings about Rangers bandwagoners. There are people who claim to like the Rangers that know less about the team than I do, and have been to far less games. It's sad, really.
Of course, I have no interest in going to Rangers games anymore because they jacked up the prices.
