MLB '11

Ghoulish Delight · 03-31-2011, 09:48 AM

I have very low expectations for the Dodgers this season. 1st year manager, no significant talent addition, the dreaded outfield "platoon" (i.e., no one is good enough to deserve the job outright), and of course the continued weirdness of the divorce. An outstanding recipe for mediocrity.

Meanwhile, while the Dodger lineup doesn't excite me, I was excited to learn that MLB put out an app for my phone that allows me to stream live game audio! Can you believe this magical future we're living in! With just a small handheld device, I can listen to a LIVE audio broadcast of a baseball game ont the go. With no wires! It's truly a miracle of science.

I on the other hand am quite excited. 2012 is shapeing up to be a great season.

I know, I heard one of the prognosticators predicting at many as 78 wins for the Nationals. From there you can almost smell .500.

The good thing about the Giants is that everyone recognizes that a lot of things broke right last year and could easily break wrong this year. Starting out this year with injuries to Brian Wilson and Cody Ross will be a good test of the magic.

On the "baseball is a funny game" front, I doubt that when Ross was acquired last year that anyone expected to be heading out of spring training this year going, "Oh, sh*t, Cody Ross is hurt."

Perhaps the Nationals should move to the NBA Eastern Conference.

And I see your season is off to a rip-roaring start...

I don't think you read my post very carefully.

I was guessing that, based on the time of post, the game had not yet begun, but maybe I was wrong.

On the bright side, you are only one game below .500! (Paraphrasing a comment GD made in the past that I am unable to locate)

I think you are still missing something.
