Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
Doesn't feel like opening day. Not with a 10 p.m. (my time) start in Phoenix.

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
Yeah, the whole week is going to be odd since they'll be out west.
Did anyone see what happened in the Texas-Houston game? Ankiel homers, Ronny Cedeno gets an RBI single, Lance Berkman goes 2-2, Bud Norris pitches like crap but his team still wins.

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
I joined a pro fantasy baseball league for the first time. I think money will be the incentive that gets me to pay attention every day.

I knew the Astros were going to start winning once they moved to the inferior league.

This is what I suspected.

The Cubs hung on to win, but not before their manager handed Marmol a 3-0 lead only to have to go get him 4 batters later (1 hit, 1 walk, 1 HBP and 1 K).

Ludwick hurt his shoulder and is out of the game for TTTIB. Angels and Reds tied up 1-1.

Eric Bedard is a closer now?

Being reported that Ludwick dislocated his shoulder.
In other games, Clayton Kershaw, not satisfied with merely shutting out SF for 8 innings, is allowed to bat for himself to lead off the 8th and hits a HR to give LA a 1-0 lead.

No, he's a long reliever. He just happened to come into a 4-2 game in the 6th and pitch the last 3.1 innings of a game that ended 8-2 so he was awarded a save.

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
Jackie Bradley had a nice game, drawing three walks and all, but I'm not sure it deserves its own mention on "SportsCenter." I have never seen this much attention paid to a good, not great, prospect.
I wonder if it has anything to do with Boston?

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
Eight innings into Opening Day and Brennaman's Mentally-Retarded Son and his Idiot Sidekick have already uttered a season's worth of cliches and obvious statements.
"Ducks on the pond for Bruce ... he really wants to get a hit here ..."

Ludwig separated his shoulder sliding head-first into third base. Wonder if Wainwright started singing "Ricky's Gone ..." in the visitors' clubhouse in Phoenix.

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
That's right. Stare in at the umpire because he didn't ring up Callaspo on a pitch that's six inches off the plate.

He could be the first player enshrined in the Hall of Fame after one game in the majors.

Re: Opening Day Gamecrap
LaRussa's retirement makes Mike Scioscia the reigning over-manager in the major leagues.
