like

the Jays and Brew Crew reasoning in my post. Indians will probably be snowed out again but the juice is to heavy there and the SD games.

Halladay at that price is an automatic for me..Throw out all the stats I'll take probably the second best pitcher in all of baseball at that price anytime...

Marlins -116, Segovia (Phillies) making his ML debut.

Sometimes an unknown rookie has the advantage if he has good stuff to work with. Do you know anything about Segovia?

can't say I know a whole lot but usually this means that the team gets to the bullpen earlier.

"Segovia went 0-2 with a 4.30 ERA and eight strikeouts this spring. He is one the Phillies top pitching prospects and could be returned to the minors as soon as Garcia is healthy."


"Segovia was once a top prospect who fell off the radar somewhat after missing the entire 2004 season following Tommy John elbow surgery and then going 4-14, 5.54 at Class A Clearwater the following year.

Even though he no longer throws 95 miles an hour, he's clearly getting noticed."

seems that the public is all over the tigers today...might be a good spot to play KC, then again, Brandon Duckworth shouldnt be a starter....I think hes a starter for only ONE team in the MLB, and thats for the Royals.....

FYI the cleveland double header is postponed for today....

[gladgarbage]

anyone that can give local weather reports to help with the capping of games? No website referals as they are not always accurate.

good question, i usually go to cbssportsline, click on the scoreboard, and read the previews for all the games, if you look to the right of the article, there will be a weather forecast for the game, including the temp. and the wind, also humidity and prec %
