MLB Opening Day


Opening Day - a sure sign winter is over even if the weather isn't as convincing. The Detroit Tigers have assembled the best lineup in baseball with the acquisition of Miguel Cabrera and Edgar Renteria. If the starting pitching can recover their magic from '06 and the bullpen isn't terrible, getting back in the playoffs should be a given. Here's a season preview from the Detroit Tiger Weblog.

ESPN baseball analyst and former MLB GM Steve Phillips calls this Tigers lineup the best in MLB history and predicts a Tigers - Mets World Series with the Tigers winning in 6 games.

Best in MLB history, and yet they lose to the 2008 Royals on opening day.

The Sox didn't do much better, but I maintain that the Umps screwed us.

I guess the Tigers won't go undefeated this season. I am shocked and disappointed.

not winning on opening day is one thing... being swept by the royals at home is another...

The Sox on the other hand... one game up on the Tigers!

Sox win over D-town today. How sweet would 6 straight home losses look?


If the Sox can take 1 of the next 2, I would be elated.
