Lotsa cool baseball schtuff overshadowed by a teriffic NCAA final.

1 down, 161 to go.

John Sterling's homer call of Brett Gardner:

"Gardner PLANTS one...in the right field seats!"

Royals looked good one game in.

Colon looked like he was going to implode in the first, and then settled down really well. Can't believe I picked against my Mets on Opening day...

Thought the Padres were gonna Sckortch some Earf. Nah.

Red Sox really enjoyed playing in Citizens Bandbox Park. Check Pedroia's locker for "milkshakes."

Don't know what else happened and I'm a busy man. Some of you other losers chime in.

Rangers showed what was to be expected...nothing!

Is the Mets' 120-loss record safe?

without Yu not really. They might give it a run.

Noooo...I mean, Yeeaaaahhh...I mean, I don't know how to feel right now.

People keep making claims that this team or that team is a lock to lose 100 this year.

Are you any kind of Rangers fan, or all Red Sox?

Pete Rose gave a great interview during the Reds broadcast yesterday. I wish I could find it to post it here.

Both. I had a good run for a while when the Sox and Rangers were both getting to the world series, but that abruptly ended last year.

It was the right move for the Dodgers to let Kemp go. I couldn't care less if he has a great, good, or mediocre year for the Pads. He needed to be out of L.A.'s clubhouse, and not around the kids.

That said... this is one game. I don't think the Dodgers will go 162-0, I don't think Kemp will hit just south of 500 dingers, and I certainly don't think Hatcher will be a viable closer until Kenley gets back. Kemp can hit three against L.A. every game, as long as the Dodgers get a hash under the W column.

The Dodgers clearly have multiple issues to address. Always good to get a win in game one, regardless.

It would be great if Pedroia's wrist is finally, indeed, healthy.

Hi

Hello handsome!

I'll be working downtown Brooklyn soon, near the court buildings around Jay Street. Aren't you in that area? I'll buy you a pina colada sometime

Giants almost frittered it away in the 8th last night after being up 5-1 against Arizona but held on to give Madison his first W of the season.

In before @HammerDown 's "Anchors Down" in regards to Gray's gem last night.

 

[Yambag]

Yankee fans walked out of the stadium feeling miserable and dejected. And when they got home ...people laughed at them.

 

[HammerDown]

No day baseball?
