I think with our current lineup, we're a candidate to be no-hit every night. And of course the pitching sucks like every year. It's gonna be another LONG year.
A couple of pitchers banned for taking steroids, and one might forgiven for thinking you were talking about your cricket team...

Bought a baseball game by SI (the guys who make Football Manager, though it's a different programmer) recently, so am trying to get into MLB. Games aren't exactly on at Norway-friendly times, though, and I'm struggling to find a franchise that is likeable. (Possibly the Red Sox - but they've had success recently...)
