Since the start of the season is around six weeks or so away, and since spring training is starting up, I figured it was time to make this thread. I think one of the most interesting things to watch in regards to the Red Sox is how Daniel bard works out as a starter. Outside of a few rough stretches, he's been pretty lights out as a reliever, so it should be interesting to see if he can make the transition, or go the way of Joba Chamberlain.

Also I thought this graph was pretty funny, since for the most part, states with AL teams think the NL should have the DH added to its rules, and states with NL teams think the opposite.

I appreciate the strategy involved with having a pitcher in the lineup, and do not like the fact that guys like David Ortiz get paid $14 million to just hit he ball and not play in the field, but something about having a guy who is essentially an automatic out at the bottom of the order has always bothered me.

Pretty amazing Jamie Moyer made the Rockies' roster at age 49. Part of me hopes he can play at least into next season so he can win a game at age 50.

Rockies won 5-3. Helton had an RBI double and Tulo had a monster homer.

Tomorrow is Moyer.

Third game of the season and the Rockies are already resting their starters.

Jim Tracy is fucking horrible. Unfathomably stupid.

Helton is fucking amazing. No matter how old, no matter how many back surgeries the dude can hit. Won the game for us tonight.

Red Sox started slow but have blown out the Rays on consecutive nights, which is encouraging. Ellsbury is out for a long time though, which sucks ass, especially with Crawford already out for another two weeks or so. I can't exactly get excited about the long terms prospects of a Cody Ross, Ryan Sweeny, and Darnell McDonald outfield.

Helton isn't having a great year average wise, but check out his splits

Bases empty: .173
Runners on: .319
Runners in scoring position: .350
2 outs, runners in scoring position: .389
Bases loaded: .750

In other words, the dudes in front of him in the order should get on fucking base more.

The fuck is with all these no hitters and perfect games?

I guess the steroid testing is actually working.

Zack Grienke got ejected four pitches into his outing for spiking the baseball out of frustration for letting in a run. Pretty ridiculous stuff. Probably deserved a small fine, but an ejection? Unbelievable.

Watched Nats vs Rockies today. This was the first time I've been to the Nats' new stadium and it was really nice. Food was such a fucking rip-off. I'm not surprised a pint was $8.50, but fucking $5 for a bottle of water? What a fucking rip-off.

It was hotter than fuck as well. The heat index was over 100 degrees although it cooled off in the 6th. Nats blew it in the 8ths. Also Helton really needs to retire. He sucks.

Helton is having season-ending surgery

just another aspect in an increasingly despressing Rockies season

this will easily go down as the worst year in Rockies history
