Well... fences were moved in. Can't hurt. He won't be the Bay of the Pirates or even the Red Sox, but he should at least be an average MLBer.

Lol... Everyone is abandoning ship on Lincecum. Got an offer in my fantasy league: Lincecum, Hellickson, Storen for Strasburg.

Yeah I saw the game. I was happy he was able to contribute but at this point he is only really out there because of is contract.

Rangers are beating that ass right now

Validating my decision to shut the game off a while ago.

Man, what a disaster Mark Melancon has been. I thought he was supposed to be a decent reliever, he's been basically throwing batting practice all Spring.

I was listening to the game on MLB Network radio and the Boston announcer's said his ERA went from 9 to 49. Baseball stats early in the year are awesome.

49 doesn't even do justice to how brutal he's been. He's gone from "possible closer and 8th inning guy" to mop up duty in a week, pretty impressive for a guy on a new team.

Melancon was an Astros pitcher. That should validify any argument stating that he's anything but absolutely terrible.

I'm shocked that the Astros let him get away, because it seems like the motto there recently is "Hey, can you play baseball? What's that, you can?! Now kindly GTFO."

They showed that on FSN, shit was too funny.

Awesome end to the brewers dodgers game tonight.

I'm on record as saying the Melancon trade was a disaster from the beginning. They had no shortstop after they traded for him. It made no sense. And he's never been any good. Not a second guess, first guess.

man rough loss tonight. Santana got banged around and man what happened to Ramirez. That 4 ER in the last two games. Well its still early and the Metsies should even out soon. Hope Dickey can take the rubber match. ATL came out to play finally.


I just hope there is 0 truth to the Mets honoring Larry Jones at Citi. I had 0 respect for Wilpon now. I never knew I could hit the negatives with this BS owner.

Rebuilding phase, yo.

They pretty much got a King's Ransom of prospects for Pence. If they all pan out, score.

Schafer doesn't seem so bad, right now.

Melancon wasn't that bad when he was pitching with the Astros.

That last play is why I watch baseball. Great stuff. Bummer we lost.

Glad the Braves finally got the offense going and beat the Mets. Could have a good year if they can get some offense going as the pitching is solid through the rotation and bullpen. And will get better when Hudson makes it back.

Braves offense rolled again this afternoon, thumped the Mets 14-6.

Damn Dodgers lose another in play at the plate, Matt Kemp ball was in time but catcher didn't place the tag in time. Man it was fun though 5 infielders for the final two brewers.

They should've asked for Domonic Brown in the deal. He's just wasting away with Pence taking his roster spot.

My point was that usually in a rebuilding phase, the team keeps at least ONE guy that can do.. well.. SOMETHING for their team.

Bartolo Colon threw 38 straight strikes. That is ridiculous.

Good game for the Rangers tonight. Getting to the Boston bullpen in the 8th again was nice.

The game between the Giants and Phil's reminds me how much I wish the Rangers still had Lee.

While I do miss Lee, I don't wish we still had him. He would have cost too much money down the line which is the same reason I don't wish we still had CJ. I love the rotation as it is right now.

I'm glad we swept the two-game stint from Boston, but the the Rangers face their first playoff-caliber team this weekend in Detroit. The Rangers have always played bad at Comerica, but the same was true at Minnesota's new ballpark. Theoretically, I would love to see them split the series. Gonna be interesting to see Darvish face the best hitting team he has ever faced.
