[Mackus]

I just screamed "O" despite being alone in my house.

I'm ready for the season!

[Mackus]

Miggy with an apparently outstanding play at 3B to start the game.

[jiminnj]

Tejada goes into the hole to field a grounder, spins and throws out the runner.

[Bosibus]

Fantastic to hear the sounds of baseball again.

[SimplyZ]

Isn't today March 3rd?

Isn't today March 3rd?

Yesssssssss

[jiminnj]

Isn't today March 3rd?

Yep sure is, my mistake.

Guthrie gives up 1 looping single to Navarro, and then sets the rest of side down.

Cool 51 degrees, with wind gusting out at up to 35 mphs. Scott had trouble with one fly ball because of the wind.

[Mackus]

Jones walks to lead off the bottom of the 1st.

[PaulFolk]

Yep sure is, my mistake.

What mistake? It looks correct to me.

[isestrex]

Jones walked then nearly picked off first base. Joe and Fred say he would have been out but Pena dropped the ball.

[tvz1997]

Jones almost made the first baserunning mistake of the year by getting picked off, but the ball was dropped.

[isestrex]

Cesar K's and Nick flies out on 1 pitch.
