Open Thread, 2/29: Tadahito Iguchi vs Hideo Nomo

I'll call it right now. This game will decide who the Leap Year/Class of '69 Champion is. If we can pull off the victory, the earliest the Royals can attempt to take the title away from us will be 2012... THE FUTURE. This will also count towards the official Japanese Hitters vs Japanese Pitchers contest that lights the fires deep within the respective souls of each of the Nipponese combatants. Their souls.

I will blatantly steal the lineup from Corey Brock:

DH Callix Crabbe
2B Tadahito Iguchi
CF Jim Edmonds
1B Tony Clark
SS Khalil Greene
C Michael Barrett
LF Scott Hairston
RF Paul McAnulty
3B Craig Stansberry
SP Shawn Estes

I'd still click through to Corey's blog to say hi, or to ask him an inane question, if that's what floats your boat. Ask him if he agrees with you that Eric Owens was the best outfielder that the Padres have ever had on their roster. Then ask him if agrees that it was a huge mistake that the Padres gave up on Ruben Rivera.

GO PADRES!!! GO CLASS OF 1969!!!

Owens and Rivera
come on Dex!  OWENS STOLE HOME!  he was like jackie robinson!  if jackie robinson was white and played for a 100-loss team that nobody cared about, but still!

and i still wear my ruben rivera jersey with pride.   ruben was the right-handed griffey jr.  i blame bochy for hit botched development.

i also contend that we should still keep a roster spot open for the unbelievably-named mike colangelo and the unbelievably-ugly gene kingsale.

So good to hear Ted and Andy
This is on MLB.TV, right? I hate all of you who get to watch that live. I'm listening on XM again.

I think if you've got MLB.TV, you can listen to the radio broadcast online.

Glad to have baseball back but these meaningless games are giving me angina.

Holy head
Just turning it on. 6 in the first? No wonder that guy hadn't pitched in 2 years.

friar ted
Talkin' about the "delicious agony". I bet if you put those two words together and added a .com, you wouldn't end up at a site about baseball.

Last year
I swear last year you could listen to spring training games on the mighty xx website.  Now they've blocked it.

Pretty sure not ...
I think all radio broadcasts have been going thru mlb.com ...

At one point
I know just from looking back through the blog that you could listen to XX in 2006, Spring only.  Maybe it switched last year and I don't remember.

TK
Tom Krasovic?  Not KT, right?  Or am I not seeing the right thing.

TK, indeed ...
I'm just a bit dyslexic today ... walked by a patch of grass being freshly mow'd ... and my mind has been wandering & yearing for Peoria & Petco ever since :-)

Fun game
Not the outcome I was looking for.  But the weather was nice and so were the people.
