    Seconded.

    Does anyone realize that Odalis Perez is the opening day starter for the Nats? I'm not sure which smilie should be used here. The ROFL smilie? The spinning on your head one? The drunk one? Nothing kills the excitement of opening day like realizing Odalis Perez is your ace.

    Lastings batting second. I heard he's so good that can hit a grand slam with no one on base.

    YAY BASEBALL!!!

    I wish I didn't have to go to school tomorrow. I'll get home most likely for the tail end of the Yankees game :sad: .

    I'm thinking of bringing a pocket radio and sneaking to the bathroom to listen to it :lol:

    In just the first inning, the Miller-Morgan booth has talked about their "good friend" Bill James and praised Nick Johnson's on-base abilities.

    Duck, for the sky is a fallin'.

    The Nationals Stadium looks great. Too bad I have to wait a couple weeks to see it for myself.

    Nationals with a very economical win, not letting the offense show up at all during innings 2 through 8.

    I don't get all the Braves love coming into the season. Sure the middle of the order is solid, but their rotation after Hudson and Smoltz is atrocious. If Jurrjens isn't suddenly on par with John Maine, the Mets staff should blow them out of the water.
