Baseball Opening Day 2010 v Centenary (3gms) Series Thread

ouch! don't scare off prospective band-wagoners already! :hihi:

 

It's baseball. I expect many close games that shouldn't be and some surprising blowouts.

For me, the keys were Ott's and Ranaudo's continuing dominance, and some new fellas showing early promise. I'm stoked. Especially after basketball ...

 

There you go letting the facts get in the way of another sky is falling post. Can't you let the chicken little's have their moment in the spotlight?:wink::hihi:
