Welp, watching that opening day shutout to L.A. was the equivalent of experiencing 'Date Movie.' There were a few mildly amusing seconds, but you ended up watching it for about 30 minutes too long, and of course the end result was that it sucked. (Although the weather looked beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
How about our gritty center fielder missing two cutoffs in a four-inning span? That was fun. At least he swatted a couple singles.
Zito giving up 4 in 5? Actually, that's an improvement from his typical opening day start, in which his ERA is over 9.
Some other bright spots: Bullpen. Merkin was throwing cheese, Threets and the crusty sensai Yabu performed servicably. The big club wasn't too hot on the basepaths though (0-2 in steal attempts).
Going into this season I held an optimistic goal of winning 70. Let's go ahead and shoot for 65 boys.
Number One reason to feel nostalgic: Robb Nen's slider was about 10 miles an hour faster than our $126 million ace's four-seamer. Hot barbecue.
Cheers to Cain and Timmy comin' up soon at least.
