I'm 45 mins from Detroit and a Tigers fan. Not a snowballs chance in hell this game is played today. Already raining and supposed to rain all day.
Hopefully it's rescheduled for tomorrow.
By the way, both of our teams are going to suck badly this year.

Correct.
By the way, anyone wants to do the game threads, be my guest. I'm no longer interested in the Bucs, because the Bucs aren't interested in winning regardless of their propaganda.

If you'd have told me 30 years ago that in 2018 I would be caring more about the Pens than the Steelers and the Bucs, I would've told you you're insane.

Yup, crazy but true, my brothers. I can't remember a year I cared less about Opening Day and the upcoming season.
I literally didn't know it was today, though I was vaguely aware it's about that time. Unloading Cutch and Cole in exchange for nothing was the final straw after 4 years of watching this owner allow a legitimate top-tier MLB ballclub disintegrate. Freese and Harrison's comments confirmed that it's as bad on the inside as it looks from out here. Nutting & Co. can shove it where the sun don't shine. Think I'll try out being a Giants fan.

Ditto on the Red Sox.

For those who don’t care...the boys are off to a smashing start.
Nova’s walked two and allowed an infield hit to load the bases with none out in the first.
Woo hoo!
Amazingly, Nova got out of it with no runs scored.

Clearly the only missing piece to a Bucs World Series win is the Blackhawks emergency goaltender.
But Nuttig is too cheap to sign him.

Well they'll be undefeated for yet another day, as today's game was postponed and will be made up as part of a day/night DH tomorrow.

Sweet! Plus the bonus that Frisco is 2-0 in the young season, hoping to sweep the Trolley-Dodgers

Once again I have free mlbtv with my TMobile account.
Of course they started offering this the year AFTER the Pirates' last playoff season.

Not that I'm interested in watching the Pirates (haven't since 1990 when they choked against the braves), but what kind of t-mobile account do you have? Is it with mobile service? Are there any other perks I should know about?Jeemie wrote:bam morris wrote:Jeemie wrote:Well they'll be undefeated for yet another day, as today's game was postponed and will be made up as part of a day/night DH tomorrow.

Arguing with idiots is like playing chess with a pigeon. No matter how good you are, the pigeon is going to shit on the board and strut around like it won anyway.
COR...I have a Simple Choice family plan I signed up for about 6 years ago or so...great ratevwitha a company discount to boot.
To get the freebie, you need to download an app called TMobile Tuesdays. Every Tuesday, TMobile offers a bunch of freebies (discounts on hotels, food, free MLBTV, etc).
Also if you qualify, activate something called Binge On. With Binge On, using MLBTV doesn’t towards my monthly 4G data usage, and many other apps like YouTube, etc count as half usage (if you have unlimited data, this means nothing...if you have above 6 GB of data, then YouTube and these other apps don’t count as 4G data either).

Excellent. Thanks. I'm aware of TMobile Tuesdays, but haven't seen any MLBTV perks. I don't check every tuesday, though. But thanks for the heads up on the Binge On and the half usage thing.Jeemie wrote:COR...I have a Simple Choice family plan I signed up for about 6 years ago or so...great ratevwitha a company discount to boot.

OK...I have to ask.
What the FUCK are those ugly neck collar scarves several of the Pirates have been wearing?
They are fucking hideous.

I hope they sell out the stadium for opening night. I love seeing The Nut make money because it’s Still the most fucked up sport in the history of professional sports.

Same things that you saw a lot of PSU players and other football players wearing this year. They are tight hoodies that they don't pull up over their heads. They look like shit. I'm not sure why they wear them if they don't pull them over the head. I think its a lame fashion thing.
