Bonds batting 3rd? WTF?

Its fairly early, but this is a Zack Greinke start.

it's going to get rained out probably either that or grienke is going to fall to earth

also what the **** is the deal with the restrooms there at the K 400 ****ing million and you can't get a hot dog or piss in a timely fashion? We are going to be building another once soon

alnorth,
thanks for the thread.

sorry for being out of the loop guys, but what record is Zach going for today that Fatlock mentioned in his column?

I really want to see grienke peg a batter and beat the shit out of him when he gets charged.

The bathrooms at the K are not vented well at all. Opening day it smelled awful in there. No doors opened, no air vent, nothing.

apparently they dont have enough bathrooms as it is and have porta potties out there from what i heard, wtf

I dont believe anyone has ever gone 7 straight starts with at least 5IP without giving up an earned run. Zack Greinke's tied with two baseball legends (Don Drysdale in 1968, Orel Hershiser in 1988, both for the Dodgers) at 6.

I was at the K on Friday when Greinke pitched. The concession lines were 20 deep all night and no stand-alone beer concessions near where we were seated.

Hoping for rain. I don't want to see Brian Burres get another start with the Jays...he's horrible.

Nobody's ever gone 5 straight to start a season either. Zack's tied with Fernando at 4.

thanks for the update guys.
I knew he had like 34 innings but then an error gave him an unearned run that technically ended that streak.

go get em Zach!!

Looks like this game is going to be played. The storm is almost gone
