thought ESPN would have been lining this game up for a national audience, they got a damn cubs game for a Monday night game.

That's crazy. None of the Sportsnet channels, here in Toronto, have the game on either. All four are airing the Jays/Sox game. But a couple of channels part of the sports package through my cable service provider are broadcasting it.

You ****s can laugh all you want now, but I'll have the final laugh when Yu wins the Rookie of the Year award this year and wins the Cy Young next year.

This is nothing to worry about. Just first start jitters. Cliff Lee gave up 6 runs to the Orioles in his debut for the Rangers. He turned out ok.

I actually think he'll be pretty good in MLB. I'm a big Darvish fan from way back when he was in High School.

The troll in me is strong, however.

Well what do you know? Yu settles down after that nightmare of a start and the Rangers come back to take the lead. Through 5 and Yu is eligible for the win!

It just goes to show how useless a stat like WINS actually is.

Haha, he did settle down though. After the first inning, he went 4.2 IP with 4 hits, I ER, 1 walk and 3 K's. That's a solid turnaround after that horrendous first. He was probably one base runner away from coming out there!

Looking forward to Beaven and Millwood the next couple of days.

It's funny how the M's finally get some offense but now the pitching staff is gone to ****. At least there is a lot of talent in the minors, but they're still a while a way yet.
