GREAT comeback game, sweeping the A's would be amazing. A great momentum boost heading home, just think if we edged out those one point games, we could be undefeated now. Impressive team so far

Sweep number 1!

Man...this team seems like, a team.

Bedard is turning into the ace we were hoping he would be. With two great pitchers at the top of the rotation and Washburn at 5th we should do pretty good this year. Silva was good off and on last year and seems to be the same this year. Rowland-Smith didn't do good, but he might just have been really nervous.

Let's just hope Silva comes back and does good for the Mariners Home Opener on Tuesday.

Wash is 4th RRS is 5th.

Sad day in Baseball today. We lose Harry Kalas the Phillies announcer and Mark "The Bird" Fidrych. Wishes and prayers sent out to their families.

Beckett only gets suspended for 1 start (6 games) for throwing at Abreu's head... I would like to see the MLB step up and deliver something bigger for this like add a fine to this suspension, or suspend him for 2 or 3 starts. He was completely out of line... I bet if he played for a smaller market team he gets a more severe punishment.

 

[Hawk096]

It's sad that a loser like Beckett gets let off the hook for intentionally throwing at someone's head. Now not condoning A-Rod, but makes him look like an angel on the DL right now.

 

[bobflipaburger]

A roided up angel...

 

[Fenom]

Will they make him miss a start? Because a game suspension for a pitcher when they don't pitch seems useless.

One start.

Going into extras... Damn Torii Hunter lol.

The 'Stros are 1 and 6... Here's to another year of tanking and mediocrity.

The season is young my friend.. Although.. It always is nice to get off to a hot start

Yeah, but there is a correlation between bad starts and not making the playoffs...

Red Sox are 2-6 this year... Do you think that will stick?
Mikwake is 2-6, Arizona is 3-5. Yes, getting off to a bad start is not ideal. But really meaningless in the beginning of the season. Yanks are off to a rough start too. So are the Mets.

So, you don't think a team's initial run is indicative of how good they are? Frankly, I think that's exactly the case with the Astros. I love 'em, but they just suck. They have few good players...

I think it is fair to say that it is somewhat true. But all I am saying is there are a ton of teams that started off slow this season that are very good baseball teams. Especially the case for the Red Sox. Just never lose hope!
