Yay! Baseball is back!

Boo! The Mariner's still suck!

Yay! Snelling in the lineup!

Boo! He went 0-for-3. Not that he's not allowed, just that that likely means it'll be another week before Grover plays him again.

I know Rizzs and Hendu made too much of it, but you did have to love Ichiro stealing 2nd and 3rd after being thrown at twice. There is no doubt in my mind that the Orioles are throwing at Ichiro, by the way. I don't think they are trying to hit him necessarily, but definitely trying to knock him down, make him uncomfortable in the box. Wouldn't surprise me at all to see Jamie knock a few guys down today. That's just the kind of guy he is.

One other thought. We all saw Schilling blow up in his first try as closer on Wednesday. Keep rooting against him. It only makes Guardado that much more of a commodity.
