Garage Doors and Thoughts on the Start of the Season

Busy as all heck around here lately. Just had a new garage door installed today. Managed to sell an old television in the process. Go figure.
A few quick, quasi-random thoughts on the season so far:
- Pedro, Rocket, Kevin Brown. Those were some seriously ugly pitching lines.
- Hank Blalock looked real good in his first big-league at-bat against Mark Mulder, lining an RBI single to center.
- Sean Burroughs knocked a couple of hits off Curt Schilling in his first big-league game. Nice compact stroke. It was like watching Wally Joyner again.
- Kevin Jarvis pitched very well in the opener. Kevin Towers and I must be the only guys on the planet who think he’s capable of an ERA in the 3.80-4.20 range this year. I’m pulling for him to make some folks eat crow after the season. We’ll see…
- How sweet was it to see the Expos come from behind to beat their former owner’s team?
- Anybody else notice that Corey Patterson drew two walks in his first game of the season?
That’s all for now…
