Expensive day for the Angels.

I'm not sure I like the Orioles "new" logo. A little too cartoonish if you ask me, but better than what they had. I do like the "new" orange jerseys.

In addition the Padres uniforms continue to suck. Yawn is right...

I don't know a lot about him, other than the Red Sox have already interviewed him. Thoughts?

In my opinion, the Cubs never had a chance. But in case anyone thought it was a possibility...that chance is over.

For anyone that wasn't able to watch the game live, here is a replay.

$1.2M a year through 2035. This makes me giggle.

Wow I didn't know these guys took ST so seriously. I wasn't listening to the game, does it sound like Hill was on the opposite end of the scuffle?

Great moment for the Twins. Terrible moment for the Braves. Could be seen as unclassy, but I can't help laugh.

I keep telling myself, don't get your hopes up...

I'm not too sad. I could have gone either way with Webb. I'd still like to see the Cubs trade for Garza. Or sell the farm for Felix.

Boston can't be too disappointed, seeing how they just hosted in 1999. Despite that Bud still sounds like a jackass.

I'm not sure what the writer is getting at here. On one hand he makes it sound like the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform won't pursue because his name wasn't on the '03 list. On the other he goes on to say the statute of limitations has run out. I tend to believe it's the latter.

What a bad idea. Now who leaves the rotation? Or is a trade imminent?

This should make the folks who don't like the AC sign happy.

I know there are a lot of Iowa fans on here, so I thought you might find this interesting. I just hope us Iowa fans behave ourselves a little bit better than we did in '07. Waking up the next morning to read in the Trib about drunken Iowa fans was not the proudest day of my life.

I was wrong about the Hawkeyes playing at Wrigley, but this is going to be great exposure for a big market. Go Hawks!

I realize this probably isn't the place for this, but my alma mater shut up a bunch of cocky KU fans today. I called this from the beginning as seen in the link above.

I don't care if batters pose while watching the ball leave the park, but I think the bowling pin thing was over the top. With that being said, are the Giants really still that mad about it?! Seems a little silly to me...what say you?

Opening day goes to Lowe, then Jurrjens, and Hanson. Interesting that they are waiting to pitch Hudson until the 4th game, but I'll certainly take it.

So it'll likely be Lowe vs. Z, Jurrjens vs. Dempster, and Hanson vs. Wells.

I'd be shocked if this rumor is true. I figured the new Yankee Stadium would be next. My personal choice would be The Big House in Ann Arbor.

I have to admit, while I know the A's relationship with Oakland is rocky (to say the least), I didn't know a decision regarding their future there was imminent.

Can anyone expand on the interworkings of this? Is this just a Oakland sports writer wearing tin hat?

Good news for those of you that have these phones. Let's just hope the keep the price low like the did last year ($10) and it was worth every penny.

Audio for every game, both the away and home announcers.

Option to watch any game for $1 per game.

For those of you that actually have a front yard, Scotts announced a deal to sell the same grass seed/fertilizers that is used at Wrigley (and Fenway, Citizens Bank, Busch, and GABP).

$66 million over four years with a vesting option for a fifth year. Too much if you ask me.

Well as you may have guessed, the Cubs are not close to the top. But also not that close to the bottom. 18th out of 30 teams is better than what I expected.

The good news is that two NL Central rivals (Houston, St. Louis) are ranked at the bottom.

This shouldn't shock anyone. In case anyone bought Manny's story before, this should put an end to any doubt he knew what he was doing. Sad that such a gifted hitter is tainted.

Papi doesn't surprise me. He came out of "nowhere."

Ladies and gentleman, this is my generation of baseball greats.
