April 1 OOTS

Benjamin Grimm Apr 01 2011 07:20 AM

First game on the schedule today is Houston at Philadelphia, at 1:05 p.m. As I look out my window, big fat snowflakes are falling, and the forecast is not promising, so this game may not be played. If it's postponed, the next game up is Pittsburgh at Chicago at 2:20. At 3:05, White Sox at Cleveland. 4:05: Boston at Texas. 4:10: Arizona at Colorado. Plus, six more games, including Mets at Miami, will be played tonight.

Mets at Miami looking like 82 and beautiful.....here in Westchester it's like as BG described....big wet sloppy snowflakes....miserable

Astros-Phillies not postponed, at least not yet, and should be underway soon.

Gwreck Apr 01 2011 11:27 AM Re: April 1 OOTS

Halladay plowed through the Astros in order in the first two innings. I give him at least a 35% chance of throwing a no-hitter today (yes, the Astros are that bad).

Nah, Myers gets a hit to break it up. (Apparently the Phillies fans groaned at this in the third inning?) Next inning a leadoff single, advances on a hit and run to second, and there are two hard hit balls for outs. meanwhile, the Phillies offense goes quietly. Myers has thrown 36 pitches through 4. (57 for Halladay)

1-0 'stros. Myers 58 pitches through 6. victorino draws an odd walk and promptly gets erased CS. Halladay over 100 through 6, he's done. faces the loss.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr Apr 01 2011 12:44 PM Re: April 1 OOTS

Two on, nobody out in the seventh, too. (GameDay 2011 is nifty-looking.)

John Cougar Lunchbucket Apr 01 2011 12:48 PM Re: April 1 OOTS

Halladay was pinch hit for by Pete Orr (remember him?), who spent all of last year (and most of 2008 and 2009) in AAA for Washington. I can't say I like the Phils chances so far.

Big two-run triple for Michael Bourn, plus a sac fly to follow and it's 4-0 Astros. Guess that pitching staff isn't so great if there isn't also a 'pen and offense to back it up.

Geez it looks cold at Wrigley. Imagine how it actually feels.

G-Fafif Apr 01 2011 01:03 PM Re: April 1 OOTS

Good lord, the Pirate announcers are going on about how this is the best lineup we've had in a long time. I wonder how many Opening Days they've sung a similar song. Well, if not now, when?

Well, if not now, when? Not exactly a high bar to beat. The problem is most of those guys look there best just before the games start getting played, and when they think back on them they sucked, but until they suck, they look good.

Cubs playing a guy called Darwin Barney at second base.

Trailing by two in the 9th, Phillies get first two runners on.

And Mayberry smacks one over the drawn-in OF and the Phillies win.

The game was Lyon's to win or BLOW Didn't help the the earlier two runs (in the 7th) were helped along by a Houston passed ball. Can't be giving away runs like that, particularly when you (Houston) suck and the team you're playing doesn't.

Injuns down 11-0 in the 4th inning of their home opener. Carlos Quentin with 5 RBI already. That's gotta make Clevelanders feel just great. edit: Now 14-zip. Sox w/ 15 hits in 4 innings!

Injuns cut this to 14-7 still going. Pirates: Undefeatable in 2011, beat Cubs 6-3. I'm off to the Ainsworth
