Most of the games are being shown live on the ESPNA channel and as i've had today off work i've just watched Korea beat Japan 1-0.

I wanted to watch the Dutch have a crack at Puerto Rico tonight but it clashes with the Canada-Italy game, which will get blanket coverage here unfortunately. At least the Canucks should win that one. I might get my down to the Rogers Centre on Wednesday night should they get far enough to take on the Yanks again. The place will be rocking.

Looks like channel 5 won't be showing baseball this year as the game 1st game of the season on sunday night is not on,it's being shown on ESPNA.Couple that with them now showing NHL at 4am on fri mornings instead of live and it looks like they're phasing out the north american sports.

That's been on the agenda for a good while now.

It seems ESPNamerica will be getting the whole lot, slightlu surprised we haven't seen more NBA coverage on there.

MLB TV have upgraded their media player this year so that you can watch a game and during that game the player will offer you highlight clips live from other games as you watch. Looks like an amazing piece of internet broadcasting. I had MLB TV at the tail end of last year for about £12. A full year costs a lot more but if you're into your baseball it's a must have.

The season starts tonight so here are my predictions

AL
East-Boston
Central-Chicago
West-LAA
Wild card-Yankees

AL Champs-LAA

NL
East-NY Mets
Central-Cubs
West-SF Giants
Wild Card-ST Louis

NL Champs-Cubs

World Series Champs -LAA

Early games finished

Mets win 2-1 at the Reds

Rangers pump Indians 9-1


Yankees currently 3-1 behind at the Orioles, bottom 5th

Go you super Texans go

Not looking good for CC at the mo how much did the Yankees give him?

I'm on Baltimore tonight with the bookies so am loving his ineptitude

Awful, Orioles win 10-5

Correction FANTASTIC Orioles win 10-5

Jays 12-5 Tigers

There was certainly some high scoring going on for Day 1 of the season.

Considering they only scored in 3 innings out of the 8

It was a fantastic effort, especially from Adam Lind, who broke a franchise record for most RBIs on opening day (he had 6).



I'm not sure where it came from because the 3 times I saw them in Florida last week they couldn't hit for !.



A few idiots almost ruined it be throwing things onto the field, the worst being a ball thrown at a Detroit player. I suspect it was idiot TFC fans because they have a habit of pelting their own pitch with missiles. Hopefully those morons just came out for opening day.

They were likely Argos scum

Not convinced with Giradi but they spent big and it's difficult to shy away from that.

Nice late rally by the Jays last night to come back and defeat Detroit. BJ nearly blew it for us but the boys kept at it and won with a walk off sac fly. I thought Purcey had a decent enough outting too. 2 games in and I like the spirit we're showing but this is the Jays so it'll all have gone tits oop by June no doubt.

..or possibly earlier.

Day game today which es me off cos I have an afternoon long meeting so can't even listen to it. I expect a few of the bench players to get some game time today. I bloody hope Millar replaces NOOOOOverbay.

Jays 3-1



Yankees 0-2

Yanks 1-2 at the start. Chamberlain in abit of bother in NYC and CC and CMW both crashing and burning, oh how the Yankees do make me smile. The big rout of the O's was unexpected though

Shame about Lester and Dice K yesterd but 1-2 isnt too bad against the Rays. 4-3 is a shame.

GREAT START
