It hasn't been started yet and today is opening day.

My predictions for the season:

1. Blue Jays
2. Sox
3. The Fighting A-Roids
4. Orioles
5. Rays

Once again, the Sox' season depends on starting pitching.

Every year you clowns discount the Yankees, they surprise. This year will be no different. Go yanks!

O's lineup should be fine although they will K a ton. Bullpen is ok but the tire fire that is the rotation could really make them work a lot early in the season.

If Gausman and Tillman aren't good this team will be struggling to get to .500. Those guys perform and they'll surprise.

It'll be a dogfight, but the Jays seem to have the best group for now.

I'll be distracted for the first month, I'm coaching my middle school baseball team. 13-3 win to start the season.

So one and done Wildcard games are your standard for "surprise" now? Boy, that payroll is really coming through.

Papi hit another opening day dinger as the Sox start the season in quality fashion. That was number 5 in a Sox uniform. This ties him with Dwight Evans for most opening day home runs and one behind Yaz.

Interesting to note, Dewey hit a home run on the first pitch of the game in the first scheduled MLB game in 1986. That makes it the earliest home run in MLB history. A record that can only be tied, but never broken.

This new Nancy rule aka chase utley rule just cost the Jays a game vs the Rays. What a joke.

Bautista reaching out and grabbing Forsythe's ankle (completely unnecessarily) cost the Jays the game. FIFY.

The only thing the Utley rule might have done is allow the play to be reviewed.

Still a stupid rule. And and Joey didn't need to do that of course. But there will be more like this. There's worse that hasn't been called. It determined the outcome of a game. I dont think it's a good way to determine a game.

Series with BOS. Since its Price in April/Regular season I'm sure he'll **** down my Jays. If only it was a playoff game

I agree that it's a horrible way to determine the outcome of a game.



You are referring to interfering with a player, thereby allowing two runs to score, right?

As a tidbit:

We've taken in a Red Sox intern for the summer. He is going to be on the Sea Dogs staff doing scouting. Should be cool to hear some inside info (assuming he can/will share).

Yes and no.

My house is in South Portland and my wife and daughter are living in it. But I am temporarily working in Baltimore.

I am moving home, full time, this summer.

So much bad blood between the O's and Jays. Looking forward to the bench clearing drama

I know the season is still very young, but I'm finding Farrell's replacement right now if I'm Dombrowski. And I'm not waiting until the end of the season to make the change. I'd let Farrell continue as a bullpen advisor. But he cannot be the manager.

Yes, he won a ring. But, 1 ring and 2 last place finishes means I'm not going to wait around to validate either scenario considering this season's start vs expectations.

And he won the ring in his first season with Francona's team. I'm not impressed. It's too bad, I was very excited to land him.

2 of 3 over Jays which is good because now they get KC who pretty much owns them. Still, good start for the birds considering the rotation is awful.

Archer shuts out the O's.
