Figured Id get us started up, as I just changed my avatar.

Tribe will open the season in Oakland tomorrow, at 10:05pm. MLB Extra Innings will be running a free preview on most providers for the 1st week, for those out of market.

Tribe will send:
Masterson vs. Gray
Kluber vs. (our old friend) Kazmir
McCallister vs Chavez

Lets start out the year well, and get a series win.

I'll be in attendance for the series, even though I fucking hate the dolans. Not sure if they get a cent of my ticket or not, but they can GFT.

Go Tribe but I expect another sweep. Pitching sucks and our bats have gone silent.

Glad they are open on the west coast. I should be home in time to see most of the game.

Having said that though,

Doesn't feel like opening day with a 10 PM start but fired up none the less.

Tribe have never seen Sonny Gray. Masterson has a career 8.10 ERA vs the A's and in 8 starts his team is 2-6 vs the A's in games he starts but he was solid in two starts last year vs these guys.

Anybody ever used a program that you would recommend to sync up the tv and radio broadcasts? I'm returning to Hammy this season, but don't want to be 10 seconds ahead.

I don't know the specifics of why it only worked/was available for some games and not others, but when I watched on MLB.TV a few times last year I had the option of radio overlap.

Kluber vs. (our old friend) Kazmir
It will be a pox on the house of Dolan if Kazmir wins this game.

I am still stunned that after a playoff run last year not only did we add nothing to the team but we let 40% of our starting rotation walk because the owners are possibly the biggest cheapskates in MLB.

We are selling "unfinished business" T-Shirts though, so they must really mean business this year. If only the deeds ever lived up to the words at some point we might actually get somewhere.

Yeah, what's up with that... F*** Oakland. You'd think they could play a 4PM game or even 6PM so we could watch it easier.

If they would have locked up Masterson, I'd have been okay with that....but the budget is more imprtant than winning even when you have a shot at the title.

Except before tickets sales, dolans are making tens of millions of dollars based on broadcasting rights, sto, stadium advertising, merch, etc. plus they'll be getting substantial profit sharing from MLB and still have one of the lowest payrolls in baseball. They can GFT. Cheap pos

Sizemore has already homered on opening day.

Watch him look like a freaking MVP candidate this year as he should of with us all those years.

OIC.

Man would it be nice if one of our Dollar Store pick-ups would bust out. I was tired of Grady, but it is going to blow watching him have a good year with Boston (you know he will).

Victor Martinez has gone deep as well today.

Yeah. And before says I should switch. No one can provide the channels I currently get or technology compared to the Hopper for what I'm paying now post the 1st year savings.

My parents are in the same boat, and are in the middle of a contract from when they upgraded to the hopper so they'd have to pay out the ass even if they wanted to switch
