Well Opening Day sucked for me. Of course I missed school to go to Shea in the freezing cold. There's nothing like seeing a horrible game in temperatures that felt like it was 20 degrees. Tom Glavine and Mike Bacsik were SOOOO BAD. Cliff Floyd forgot how to pick up a ball. Roger Cedeño still sucks. The one good thing was that Jeromy Burnitz was 2-for-4. Maybe he'll actually hit this year.
Once the game was out of line I really hoped Sosa would hit #500, but of course that didn't happen.
burnitz was for 1-3..... good? i call that um..... expected
heh, I saw Tommy's face as he left the mound to the boobirds.....all I could think about was the sweet deal that Atlanta had promised him if he'd stay...a LIFETIME role with the Braves. That meant a coaching contract after he was finished, the whole deal. Anyway, it's his career and he did what he felt was best.
I just hope he's tough enough to take the heat....I think that he may have gotten too comfortable down here where we rarely boo our own players. We're *nice*.

Good look Tommy!
It's good to see a Braves fan that's wishing Glavine good luck. From what I've seen over at the Braves Fan Forum, everyone's mad at him for leaving and no one wants him to do well.
Have you noticed that the Giants NEVER lose when Reuter gets a no-decision? And, heh, it's good when you can win despite Bonds and Alfonso going 0-7.
Wasn't just Bonds and Alfonzo...Aurilia wasn't so hot yesterday either, so the 3-4-5 batters didn't really do anything. It's nice to see the lead-off guys actually getting on base though.
Dodged a bullet this time. I don't know how Fran441 would cope with 2 losses in a row to the Devil Rays to start the season, but I don't think it would be pretty.
4 homers today from the Giants...I thought this team was supposed to be based around baserunners this year...

I listened to the whole thing on the radio. I nealy had a stroke when Nixon got gunned down at the plate.
that was a great play... you don't see many plays at the plate anymore... people are too afraid of being hurt...
Nixon was out by 5 feet, the catcher could have saved himself some pain if he just extended his arms to tag him... oh well, it was fun to watch

And in the only attempted steal, Grissom got thrown out. But Ray Durham is quickly making me forget that other guy.
In other news, a $170M team loses to a $20M team...
And the Giants win five out of the gate...woot!
