    Nats for all the glory ...

    Bryce to hit 50, Turner to steal 70, Strasbourg to win a Cy Young and Max to throw a perfect game.

    Not asking for much!

    First time in 5 years I won't be at an opening day game (thanks to them all starting on Thursday). I'll be at Indians @ Mariners on Saturday though.

    A ton. But They'll also hit a ton of home runs. So it will all balance out

    Mets sweep the Astros to win the WS. With Tim Tebow scoring a grand slam HR to clinch the game.

    Bring on the season!

    I know why they have to do it but scheduling opening day games in the north always runs the risk of getting called off.

    So the first pitch of the season is crushed for a leadoff homer. A sign of things to come for both the Cubs and the Marlins...

    MLB went to a live look in for the first round of Judge/Stanton. Judge struck out, Stanton homered.

    And then Joe Kelly and Carson Smith undo all that giving up 6 runs in the 8th for the loss, bloody hell!

    Anyone see Donaldson in the Jays-Yanks game? Yikes. Ugly. When a third baseman can't throw across the diamond you have to wonder what he's doing out there. It was embrassing.

    Anyway, it's one game. Get 'em tomorrow.

    He has a dead arm apparently. Probably should be the DL.

    Syndergaard struck out 10 batters and looked lethal. The Offence was lively too.

    Overall a soils start from the Mets

    Mets are something like 37-20 all time in season openers. Still, it beats losing, and they did it without home runs.

    Different question: any way to see the condensed games without having mlb.tv? I did this all the time since about 2013, now it wants me to have a membership. Could be they updated their software the rats, but I'm hoping there's a better link out there....

    Mutter...Stanton...luck of the Yankees get the reigning NL MVP for like, money and a few guys who weren't going to make as much of a difference. Reminds me of Nettles and Chambliss to the NYY followed by the Cleveland GM...

    Saw the second one where he bare handed the ball. Not sure if he had a firm hold of it, but it was a brutal throw.
