Pirates vs. Cardinals 4/9
Home opener at PNC Park in Pittsburgh today. Cold, cold, cold.
Braden Looper (0-1, 4.50) vs. Ian Snell (0-0, 3.00)
Here's the box. Chris Duffy returns to the leadoff position. Freddy Sanchez moves to third and the slumping Ronny Paulino, who has just five total bases in his first 23 at bats, moves down to seventh.
Here are some links while you wait for the game to start:
-P- Jim Tracy says some things. They all make sense. Bucs Dugout doesn't understand how this is possible.
-P- From the Onion, Jose Bautista was pretty proud of his double on opening night. (WTM: "Funny how the Pirates get more attention from The Onion than they do from ESPN.")
-P- Thanks to the Post-Gazette for the link today.
-P- Thoughts of RS has closely watched the Hickory Crawdads' series in Hagerstown.

Daniel Cabrera
Yesterday: Bedard pitches seven strong against the Yankees.
Today: The O's sprinkle some Mazzone dust on Cabrera.
Tomorrow: Angelos sells the team???
Come the revolution!
I have a feeling

What are your categories?
In real life, I'm quite excited about him and Bedard.

I wouldn't fear him that much even if the league did have K/BB, though. With his stuff and K rate, he seems like the kind of pitcher who could suddenly figure out how to pitch after a few years in the league, like Jason Schmidt.

well,
Quickly figured out that the LF rotunda wasn't going to work, since that's where the wind was blowing to. Tried the concourse area around the first level but everywhere there was an open spot there was an opening to the outside behind us and thusly lots of wind. Finally settled, like I said behind the cage in RF and was actually able to somewhat enjoy the game from like the third inning on or so.
Cold everywhere...
