    does anyone else sense that the buzz is a little lighter this year compared to the last few?

    maybe it's because i've been away for a while. but i don't get the sense that people are as amped for opening day this year....

    The horrible Spring Training definitely sapped some energy from the buzz. But we should still be excited; this is still a fucking awesome team. 8-)

    I'm thinking tomorrow gets pushed back till Monday(not really, but this is what I'm hoping) and I get Cliff on Sunday.

    I don't think they'd make it up on Monday. It's rare for games to be rescheduled for april dates, just because the weather is so unpredictable

    Hopefully the rain stays away tomorrow

    Yeah, but they both have off on Monday, and why would Houston want to fly in here for one game later in the season. Just makes the most sense. Usually on Opening Day they have that day off after the opener, which is usually used as that make up day. This weather sucks my ass.

    I hear ya...it makes sense. MLB generally doesn't schedule make up games for april dates due to the high probability of games being rained out for a 2nd time.

    hopefully it's a moot point...


    After models runs that hinted at a power-line downing spring snowstorm and a beach-ripping nor'easter, it appears that the region is in for a generic rainstorm.

    The storm now is expected to track farther east than earlier projections, and to deepen farther north, said Jim Poirier, meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Mount Holly.

    The rainfall amounts, which looked impressive in yesterday's forecasts, have been cut back to about a modest half-inch. The winds also have been knocked down a few notches.

    And it appears that the rain will get out of the way in from for the Phillies to oepn their season tomorrow afternoon, not that it will be pleasant in the stands.

    Roy Halladay's slider will have the benefit of a stiff wind blowing in from left-center and gusting past 20 m.p.h. Temperatures will be in the 40s.

    The baseball season may be under way, but the forecast suggests that it's going to be awhile before baseball weather arrives.

    This I don't mind as much...

    Phillies Sign Ronnie Belliard
    By Dan Mennella [March 31 at 6:07pm CST]

    The Phillies have signed infielder Ronnie Belliard to a minor league contract, tweets Todd Zolecki of MLB.com.

    Belliard, released by the Yankees on Monday, will report to Triple-A Lehigh Valley, according to Zolecki. Belliard, 35, hit .216/.295/.327 in 185 plate appearances for the Dodgers last year, playing first, second and third.

    Yeah, I agree. At least Belliard has a little pop. He's sure as hell a better RH option off the bench than mayberry

    so what's the pen and bench look like?

    so the bench is schneider, gload, martinez, orr, mayberry. yikes.

    I worry about the two lefties in the pen, but otherwise I think they are fine there.

    also, a buddy told me rollins is hitting third tomorrow. should be an interesting lineup
  • Jearlpam0925Jearlpam0925 Posts: 16,989
    Yeah, goes

    Victorino
    Polanco
    Rollins
    Howard
    Ibanez
    Francisco
    Ruiz
    Valdez

    I was hoping they'd do something like this, but I just didn't think Jimmy would stop pissing and moaning about being the leadoff man. Out of any variation, with this set of players, it probably is the best way to go.
