^ I guess you have to be lucky or really into MLB to get some right

I got 5/10 so that shows I am not a big fan of MLB but some I could remember

Destroyed that Jeopardy sample. Mariners/Marlins got me, yikes.

With the end of That NFL Game our long wait is almost over, true believers: pitchers and catchers report NEXT week!

Baseball is coming!

p.s. someone on Facebook commented "what about basketball?" I came back with my best John McEnroe: "You CAN NOT be serious!"

lulz Steve Bedrosian

I don't mind the idea of relievers winning, but some of the early "ZOMG 40/50 SAVES CYA WINNER!" ones were laughably stupid.

OK here it comes...

If someone compares hockey to MLB, then it's a compliment right? I mean, NO ONE is going to actually suggest that hockey even touches MLB in any measureable way, right?

Right.

Will Leitch on the Team Of The Decade.

Loved this line: If you think "steroids" were the baseball story of the last decade, I honestly and truly feel sorry for you.

I'm not sure I'd feel "sorry." More bugged and annoyed. And that person just doesn't like baseball.

Yoshida Eri met Tim Wakefield?!! Where is the video footage of this?!

Will keep an eye on Sankei Sports throughout the day (she has her own section there).

Ahh, action in the spring.

If this were April instead of March I might be interested to see a highlight; otherwise, it's just... whatever.

Loved this tweet from Kevin Kaduk: Shouldn't the Giants technically be throwing at all the players who fell down around Prince Fielder? That'd make for a fun game.

The ghost of Dock Ellis lurks...

Sabermetrics 101 is here!

Today is Jim Bouton's 71st birthday. Rika bless him, creator of the greatest baseball book of all time...

Spring is here! My copies of "Baseball Prospectus 2010" and "The Bill James Gold Mine 2010" have shipped!

Who is Jonah Hill and why was he tabbed to play Paul DePodesta in the "Moneyball" movie? (per Rob Neyer as told by Michael Lewis.) Is this Bill Plaschke's final act of pique?

Saburo · « **Reply #1416 on:** March 10, 2010, 12:15:12 AM »

My heart goes out to Joe Nathan and all Twins fans. Read about the press conference and Nathan's deportment. I don't believe this cripple's Minnesota's season but it sure is a kick to the stomach for a Tuesday.

Seattle for first in AL West.

AL West could be a battle this year.
