Already an early play of the year candidate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gDIEp-xyOl0 (Thanks to Six for mentioning it in the last thread)

Oh yeah, some Heyward guy hit a 3-run shot in his first AB.

    That was almost superhuman. The broadcast should have suddenly gone into super-slow motion with the camera rotating around the action and particles of dirt floating through the air.

    Haha, true, but I've started to cling to anything that is even remotely exciting about the Astros.

    I'm half expecting Roy to injure himself walking to the mound in the top of the first, knowing the way things have gone the past couple seasons. Plus, since Ausmus left, he hasn't been the same pitcher. I'm more optimistic than I was at this time last year, based on our upgraded defense alone.

    And not having Mike Hampton and Russ Ortiz as our #3 and #4 starters D: I actually feel really optimistic about the rotation and the defense, but the offense will be godawful, especially if Berkman is out for awhile.

    He's got it rolling now though... quality start if he leaves the game now. I bet he stays in though. EDIT: Nevermind, they're pinch hitting for him. Too bad.

    Sadly, it takes more than a QS to outduel Lincecum. Especially with the Astros offense (or lack thereof).

    10am baseball.
    Pujols is Pujols.
    Carpenter throws 6 decent innings.
    Molina throws in a GS.
    Shaky closer gives up 2 garbage runs but runs nonetheless.

    I <3 opening day.


    And hey there's quite the NL Central crowd in here.

    Let me give you a prediction based on my 20 years as a Cubs fan.

    They'll do slightly above average in the regular season, get everyone's hopes up, then blow it in the first round postseason.

    Or I'll go to a Cubs/Brewers game with seats in front of third base and watch Aramis Ramirez and the season go foom right in front of my eyes aaaaaaaaaaaaagh.

    Yes, I was at that game.

    Oh, and thanks a lot Jason Frasor.

    The "Frasor" spinoff isn't getting enough ratings, and with "Eastbound & Downs" and "Gregg's Anatomy" gaining popularity, I'm worried for its long term success.

    Did you try going into difficulty sliders and turning down opposing pitcher strike throwing frequency? It's set way too high for even close to real pitching. Although that may turn off achievements and such, I forget.
    Man do I love NL baseball.

    Yeahhh pitchers bunting that's totally what I want to see!

    Yea, I have him in the yahoo league. Because of him, my ERA was 6.61. If I didn't play him, I'd have had 2 SP (1.29 & 3.86) and 1 RP (0.00) to work with.

    I hope wandy does well too, I have him in both my fantasy leagues. Unfortunately he had a terrible spring and I don't have any confidence in him. I tried to take him out but the rosters had already locked.

    Didn't Lincecum have a bad spring too? He was ridiculously dominant last night. I know Wandy is no Lincecum, but he's still a good pitcher, and you can't really go by ST stats in my opinion.

    Also, Wandy has always been very good at home.
