Regular season starts on Thursday. :victory:

Dodgers get pounded by the Angels, 8-3. :(

It's for real starting tomorrow. :fingerscrossed:

Matt Kemp in mid-season form, 2-for-5 with a home run and 3 rbi's :woot:

But so is Juan Uribe, 0-for-3 and struck out twice. :bleh:

Ugh... I seriously believe he's a plant by the Giants to screw the Dodgers. :grumble:

First no-hitter of the year!! :victory:


Okay, it's in Japan, but a no-hitter is still a no-hitter:http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/sb20120407j1.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+japantimes+%28The+Japan+Times%3A+All+Stories%29

^ Wow, six years since the last one... Long stretch.

Dodgers shut out the Padres, 6-0. :victory:

Dodgers beat the Padres in 11 innings, 6-5.

So far, so good. :applaud:

And in his MLB debut, Munenori Kawasaki went 1-for-4 with an rbi and scored a run in Seattle's 8-7 win over the A's.

Ichiro went 2-for-5 with a triple scored a run and an rbi, now hitting a cool .353.

Dodgers lose to the Padres, 8-4.

So much for that undefeated season.

Yu's debut in Texas tonight: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/baseball/al/rangers/story/2012-04-08/yu-darvish-debut/54118620/1

Sox got swept in their first series. The preseason questions are still there, namely about the pitching. Especially troubling is the closer position. Three blown saves in the series. :shakehead:

If it's any consolation, the Yankees are sharing the cellar with them. :beaten:

Darvish gets his first W. Rangers beat M's 11-5. Darvish really struggled in the first inning giving up 4 runs, but settled down after that giving up just one run in the next 5 2/3.

Ichiro went 3-for-5, now hitting .409. Kawasaki went 1-for-3 with an rbi.

Dodgers beat the Pirates in the home opener, 2-1, but Kershaw misses out on getting his first win of the young season.

His record remains 0-0, and hefll end up something like 14-11 with a 1.98 ERA. Itfll be fantastic.
