Anyone watching or listening? It's 6-0 Indians in the 5th inning I believe. I think Sarloos(sp?) got lit up but I'm not sure. Just started listening.
Astros on the board with a Chris Burke solo home run. You can hear the P.A. guy telling someone they need to move their car. Game over 14 - 2 Indians
It's spring training. Roy Oswalt threw 2 scoreless innings surrending only 1 hit. Everything else means little to me.
something i've noticed...years where we've won a lot of spring training games have produced disappointing regular seasons....and vice versa.

Woooo glad this is pre-season. I watched the cubs lose one 9-2 last night. Pre-season doesn't mean much. I am not worried.
MLB.com always has the exhibition season games for free. But do they have them for free this season? NO I'm supposed to pay for a full season, $14.95, just to be able to listen to games that don't even count? Yet another reason why major league baseball is the most screwed up major sports league in existence. I have paid for the Extra Inning Package on DirecTv for 4 years now, and they only show about half of the Astros games all year. They do not show exhibition games. One VERY frustrated Astros fan
