    I'm off to Fenway Park this year. Not a Sox fan but just travelling to the States and there wasn't no way I was going to America without seeing either a football or a baseball game.

    It's going to be good.

    Go A's!

    Wild Cards: Orioles, Angels
    I don't think Texas have the depth, honestly. A's could be better than anyone is predicting. Obviously a bias but the M's have a lot of potential to be dangerous or disastrous depending on how the chips fall. ALWest will be a pretty tight race this year regardless.

    Indians didn't look very good out there today. Thankfully. Still, game one of ST, so it doesn't mean much.

    Regardless of anything, happy to see some baseball after the long dark.

    Pitching means a lot, Texas will have Cole Hamels for an entire season, and Yu Darvish will be back, that gives the Rangers a dynamic 1-2 combo to challenge Houston for AL West.

    Sorry, Mariners have better pitching and pitching depth than anyone in ALWest aside from the Astros. Rangers won't be awful, but I don't know that I see them winning the west. Who knows, though. A game of inches.

    Regardless, if "pitching matters" can't overlook the Mariners.

    Mariners take the field today in just under an hour for the first of two games against the Padres.

    Paxton on the mound today. Running with the expected line up. While it doesn't mean much, I'm excited to see how this team plays.

    Mariners up 7-0 in the 7th. Like what I'm hearing today. They're definitely moving the guys through and giving everyone some time, but it seems pretty unified so far.

    Mariners won their second against the Padres, despite Marniering the end of the game. Field full of a bunch of "who?" at that point, though, so.

    Phillies beat the Yankees, but lost to the Astros. Split Squad is always interesting to me. Speaking of, the Brewers won both their SS games today. (Against the Cubs and Giants) Nobody saw that coming. Even the Brewers.

    My Phillies scored 13 runs in that split squad game with the Yanks. Even if it was spring training, for my team which figures to be offense challenged this coming season, that was quite a little barrage today.

    I don't care who you are, or what time of year it is, 13 is big numbers!

    I'm a Jays fan, looking forward to this season but our starting rotation is a bit of a let down without a true ace.
    Bullpen got bolstered a bit with Storen and Soriano and the bats should be the same.
