    Where's the offense?

    Is it just me or have the bats been put on ice here at the beginning of the season? Teams like Detroit and Colorado have been scoring runs at an extremely low rate and it just seems like scoring is way down to start off in general, especially when the other way around was expected. Just look at the scores today. 4-1, 3-0, 2-1, 3-2...it's been a weird way to start IMO
    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    haha i agree with you brownie, unlike some of the other guys here. the mets won 13-0 yesterday, but other than that, and the phillies nats game today, it has seemed the same way to me.

    It's because of the chemical unbalance in baseball right how. it will be like that until the baseball world rights itself. Still have to get used to Johan in the NL, no Devil in the Rays, and the Royals are the only undefeated team left. Once all that gets setteled and being used to, it will get better.

    No, I think we can make hard and fast conclusions about this season on April 3rd.

    I think it's because they aren't taking as many steroids.

    finally showing up in wrigley today. of course, 60 degrees and wind blowing out tends to allow for scoring of runs.
