Only thing as lame as Weiss sitting LeMahieu is Rox broadcasters trying to justify it. Shilling is alive and well in so many cities.

I repeat: Tebow has resurrected his brand. All other debate, discussion irrelevant.

MLB gradually paying price for underfunding umpire development for decades. Poverty wage in minors erodes talent pool.

MLB umpiring embarrassments reaching new heights with Jim Joyce debacle in Cleveland today, Alex Dickerson phantom foul tip last night.

All-Star voting? Really? Voting on best of 3 weeks only further cheapens how WS home advantage is determined.

Only one Joe Garagiola ?? Did he help more people through BAT or anti-chew crusade?He defined love of the game and love of people.

So, I retired yesterday.

You call it Opening Day. I call it Small Sample Mania. And it's a field day in Bosox HR barrage against Phillies #extrapolation

@AnMelFamey Can always count on you.

Two runs rather, Mets up 2-1

Moot point, Duda, Duda. No-hitter over, Duda, Duda. Tie game, Duda, Duda. Inning should have been over. Did I mention Duda singled in a run?

Show of hands. Who thinks that ball is called an error in a 6-5 game?

Scorer on the spot -- ball falls cleanly in triangle in short right. Should have been caught but .... it's called E6.

Granderson gets his second walk with 2 out in 6th -- that's it against Scherzer today. Yes, he looks THAT good.

Do we recall what the Nationals did in their most recent regular season game? Hint, hint: Jordan Zimmermann.

If that was a Bryce Harper coming out party last October, it's continuing. Bomb to right center and it's 1-0 Nationals in fourth.

Ryan Zimmerman diving stop -- AT 1B -- starting the 4th keeps the (well, you know) alive for Scherzer.
