Yardwork: The 4th Opening Day of the Season
Baseball April 2nd. 2008, 8:59am
Yankees 3, Blue Jays 2: After having their original Opening Day rained out, the Yankees earned win one thanks to seven innings of 2-run ball courtesy of Chien-Meng Wang. A-Rod went 2-for-3 with an RBI. Marco Scutaro had two stolen bases for the Jays – two more than Scott Rolen would have had if he were in the lineup.
Rockies 2, Cardinals 1: The Rockies beat the Birds with former Cards starter Kip Wells on the mound. Wells lasted six innings and gave up one run on a Yadi Molina homer (he of the whorish variety). The Rockies broke through with two in the 8th thanks in part to a Troy Glaus error – one more than Scott Rolen would have had if he was in the Cards’ lineup.
Marlins 5, Mets 4: Pedro Martinez left with a bad hammy, and said he felt a “little twinge or a pop” during the injury, leading me to believe he has a midget living in his thigh. Robert Andino homered with two outs in the 10th to give Florida the victory. Brian Schneider had three hits and a walk for New York, even though his bill is crooked.
Angels 9, Twins 1: Vlad Guerrero had three hits and three RBI and the Angles Boofed the Twins in the Bonser (*clever*). Bonser finished out the ‘07 campgaign with a 4-11 record in his last 15 decisions, so he’s at least displaying some consistency.
Red Sox 2, A’s 1: Before the game, Dice-K read Kevin Youkilis his fortune cookie. It sayeth: “There is a true and sincere friendship between you and your bat. Use it to complete a 3-hit, 2-run night so that I may give up 1 run in 6 and two-thirds.”

I always feel bad when a team gets 5 runs washed away in a rainout only to struggle to put up 1 during the makeup. Then I realized that I don’t care about either the Cardinals or the Rockies and my sympathy washed away as well.

Speaking of midgets, have you seen la pequena Amy Winehouse. She’s a chilean midget that is really funny/gross. NSFW (maybe)

What’s the over/under on the number of pictures taken this year that make ARod look gay?

That picture has got to be photoshopped, right?

Nothing quite as nice as watching a Marlin hit a walk off… especially when I’ve never heard of him.

How ’bout them Twins.

Neo, that was I who wrote it, FYI. The midget being dead actually supports the theory, because he could have been buried in there.
April 2nd, 2008 at 10:23 am
Sorry Patrick, I wasn’t paying attention to who wrote it. The memory of Nelson De La Rosa lives on in all of us, no matter where he’s buried.

One run? The Astros only have scored only one goddamn run?

Let’s Go Yankees!

@spencer: good catch sir.

Yes, it’s true; Glaus committed an error, but at least he played. Rolen is on the DL with an ouchie. Besides, there’s no guarantee he would’ve been the starting 3B if he was still with the Cards.

This was the highlight from yesterday. Bowa’s ejection:
