Opening Day: Worst to First!!

For those who love the game of baseball, Opening Day is an annual tradition that marks not only the end of a long and bitter winter, but the chance to shake the demons of failure from previous seasons.

Opening Day '09 was no exception.

Amongst the biggest performers from the dish:

OF Adam Jones 3-3, 2 BB, 2 RBI, 3 Runs
OF Adam Lind 4-5, HR, 6 RBI, 2 Runs
IF Emilio Bonifacio 4-5, HR, 2 RBI, 4 Runs, 3 SB
C Jarrod Saltalamacchia 2-4, HR, 3 RBI, 2 Runs
SS Hanley Ramirez 2-3, HR, 5 RBI, 2 Runs
3B/DH Hank Blalock 2-4, HR, 3 RBI, 2 Runs
1B Chad Tracy, 3-4, HR, 2 RBI, 2 Runs
IF Tony Clark and Felipe Lopez combined, 4-8, 4 HR, 5 RBI, 4 Runs

Cliff Lee, C.C. Sabathia, Brandon Webb, Justin Verlander, and Roy Halladay all got off to much rockier starts than anticipated.

Opening Day can be quite a crazy day, and the proof is in the pudding as Kedro of all teams, a perennial cellar dwellar, is in sole possession of 1st place in Tha Green Monster to open the season. Only 161 more games to go, can he hold on??
