Although I heard one announcer during one of the many games yesterday call it the third opening day for MLB, in my mind it really is the real opening day. Its the one day, besides at the end of September, that everyone cares about all the scores, that watching a little bit of every game is completely acceptable.
Anyway, these are some of my highlights from a very nice opening day:
If you look at the AL East Standings right now, the Rays are number 1 in the league, how about that.
Right now, the best run scoring team in Baseball isn't the Tigers but the Pirates.
Speaking of the Pirates, have you seen Nady's line from last night? 7 AB, 4 R, 4 H, 4 RBI, 2B, 2 HR
That means Nady and Thome are tied for HR in the league at 2.
Santana is second in the league with K's at 8, Harden had 9.
Gomez had a good night going 2-3 with 2 R's
I think the Mets are on pace to break some sort of record regarding doubles.
John Stewart on the Daily Show last night did a bit about the Mets before he started the show. This is not the exact quote but its the best I can do from memory: Right now the Mets are beating the Marlins 6-2, which means if all goes well, the Mets will win in extra innings, for reasons I do not want to talk about, meaning that their record will be 1-0. If I do the math, that means the Mets will finish the season 162-0. Thats right, the Mets will not lose a game this year, you heard that here.
He did the last part in that sarcastic tone that he normally does, it was pretty funny.
