What SPORTS did you watch today? (2018)

The Buccos were supposed to open in Detroit today but it was rained out. I think they're supposed to make it up tomorrow. I have a bad feeling about this season and I'm not the only one. According to the evening news, their home opener next week isn't even sold out yet.

The Pirates should just admit they're in a rebuild mode and get on with it.  Most of their off-season moves made it pretty obvious that's what they think they need to do but they keep noodling around with other deals that give fans false hope. 

I say fish or cut bait; either admit you're rebuilding and sell off your stars to gather a ton of prospects or hang on to everyone you can and go for it with trades/free agent signings.  The Pirates have been doing a little bit of both and as they always talk about on MLB Network that's a sure way to guarantee years of mediocrity at best.  At least the Marlins have admitted they're going to suck for a while and gathered up a bunch of young talent.  Same thing the Astros, Braves and Phillies have done and the 'stros are world champions and Atlanta and Philly are strong up and comers.

Watched LA lost to the Giants last night.

Watching the Pirates and Tigers.

This has been some game!  Back and forth lead changes, lots of "old school" hit and run/run and hit plays and a very controversial umpire review.  Currently 10-10 in the 11th.

I caught the end of that marathon Pirates and Tigers game. It started while I was at work and lasted well after I came home. Looks like the Pirates bullpen is going to be quite a sight to watch. No lead will be safe . At least Polanco's 3 run blast held up today. And knowing the Pirates,after scoring 13 runs today, they'll be shut out tomorrow.

Watched the Cardinals second game of the season and it's more of the same from the first game and from last year for that matter.

Meh starting pitching, crappy defense, lousy bullpen and way too many strikeouts.  In two games the Cardinals have struck out 27 times.  Ugh.

Mets won today 6-2.

Now watching the pre-game show for the Loyola-Chicago/Michigan game.

The chariot turned back into a pumpkin tonight for Loyola Chicago.  Not that it matters IMO because either Kansas or Villanova will destroy Michigan.

Watching Villanova vs Kansas and so far 'nova is destroying the Jayhawks.

I'm watching the first game of a double header between the Pirates and Tigers. The Pirates are currently winning 1-0 in the bottom of the 4th.

I'm watching the Cardinals vs Mets.  Marcel Ozuna just drove in his first run as a Cardinal with his first hit as a Cardinal.  2-1 STL in the 4th.

Cardinals finally got a win 5-1.

Watched this game earlier.

It was nice to see an STL starter finally get through 5 innings and have the offense wake up.  And I was worried the Cardinals may have prematurely given SS Paul DeJong a 6 year extension but if his two homers today are any indication that contract could look like a steal.

Shockingly, the Pirates swept the Tigers and open at home today against the Twins. I'm not sold on the Pirates being a decent team yet, I think it's more that the Tigers are worse. Time will tell.

Enjoyed watching the Cardinals win Sunday...caught some golf from the Houston Open Saturday

Watched the Cards beat the Brewers 8-4 today.  DeJong hit a 3 run shot today.

I see the Pirates roughed up Lance Lynn for a win today too.

Yeah, I had the day off and missed all the scoring by the Pirates, but did catch the last 3 innings. I can't believe this team is 4-0.

Watched the Dodgers beat the Giants last night 9 to 0.

Currently watching the Astros and Orioles.

I guess the Dodgers finally found their offense.  Man, losing the opening two games 1-0 had to really suck.

My Cardinals didn't have a lot of offense the first two either but to be shutout 1-0 in back to back opening games?  I wonder if that's ever happened before.

Currently watching the NCAA championship game.  So far Michigan is giving 'nova more of a game than I thought they would.

EDIT:  Now it's going more like I expected.  Villanova up by 14

It totally sucked. But the bats did look better over the last two games of the series.

Currently watching the Nationals and Braves.

Earlier today I watched the Royals and Tigers.

Now I'm watching my Cardinals vs Brewers.

I'm one of those people who is just glad baseball is back and I'll watch any game that's on TV.  Baseball is easily my favorite sport.

That was a crazy game between the Cards and Brewers yesterday...started with back to back homers from the Cards, ended with back to back homers from the Brewers.

First time that's ever happened in MLB.
