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??
Im in first, so its worst-to-first for real.
