    The new stadium renovations look sweet.

    I'll be at the home opener. Anyone else?

    I will not. Will you be watching from the new outfield bar?

    Nope. Got a suite. Free booze & food for the whole game. I'm gonna get fat & drunk.

    Happy home opener.

    Should be heading into this afternoon 3-0, that's about as impressive of a 3 game stretch from starting pitching that I've seen in a long time.

    Why do you dick snorts need to start this game so late in the day? Should be at 1pm when God intended home openers to start (so I could blow off the day listening at work).

    Can't argue there, I should be listening to the game instead of my co-worker lecture me on proper lawn care.

    Honestly, listening to baseball while talking lawn care SHOULD be a pleasant experience. The Indians and your co-workers conspired to ruin your afternoon.

    All kidding aside, too early to say. Things may look different today with Lobstein on the hill. If Verlander is hurt or ineffective the staff could be thin.

    But it's definitely a more athletic, faster and better defensive team than we've run out there in years. And Miggy looks like Miggy again.

    Well that was quite a game. Can't believe we couldn't score with bases loaded against a position player pitching

    Hey guys. Sorry about the start of your 8-game losing streak today.

    I took my grandson to see Finding Dora today. I don't want to spoiler it too much, because I'm sure you're all seeing it soon, but the moral of the story boiled down to doing whatever it takes not to be taken to Cleveland.
