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.”
