The 2012 season has officially begun! Ichiro Suzuki Has 4 Hits as Mariners Beat Athletics in MLB Opener - MLB
Split of the series in Japan. A's Top Mariners 4-1 Behind Cespedes HR - MLB The regular season will continue on Wed., Apr. 4, with the Cardinals against the Marlins in Miami.
Nice win for the A's, but it's all downhill from here, as they have to return to the worst park in MLB and play in front of an empty stadium. Oh well, maybe this Cespedes guy will turn into a player.
Season got started on the domestic front Wednesday night... Kyle Lohse Flirts with No-Hitter as Cardinals Win Opener - ESPN
Marlins are going to be better this year, but I still have to think that my beloved Phillies (although banged up) will take home another NL East crown Rob Lennon www.diggindeepsports.com
Once again, I will hope that the Pirates can break their longest-in-American-sports streak of 19 consecutive losing seasons. We flirted with .510 up until August and a disastrous 19th inning decision vs Atlanta, but there is some hope. Not as much as the Nationals have this year, but still some hope....
Good luck with that. I haven't seen anything that makes the Pirates any better than they were last year. You may have a little benefit from the weakening of the division with the loss of Pujols and LaRussa from the Cards and the Fat One from the Brewers, but with what Cincy has been doing, the Pirates will in all likelihood keep their position as the bottom of the division. Sorry.
As a Padre fan I'm excited/skeptical about this... http://www.utsandiego.com/news/2012/apr/27/omalley-group-reportedly-seeks-own-padres/
