Old guy special: Rajai Davis homers too. 4-0.

Pretty excited that Byrd went deep. That guy is big time strong.

Then Rajai Davis, after stealing 2 bases earlier, goes deeeeep too!

Also excited at the veteran RH bats this team went out and got.

Without those 2 guys today, this game is one just like last year. No offense on either side.

With them, 4-0

"Also excited at the veteran RH bats this team went out and got."

TFIR my ole buddy my ole pal, I'm not going to crow after 1 at bat, one week, or even one month. But I'm going to be reminding you of that ridiculous statement in 6 months.

Haha, HB my friend. (And those who don't know us - it really is the case)

I really do believe our core youth needed the veteran examples, and yes being RH batters with pop all the better.

And as you know, as a fantasy player, I am only too aware of limited sample size.

But I like Napoli's at bats, Byrd took a pitch way out that required lots of muscle because it was toward center and the pitch location, and Rajai helps to add another dimension we didn't have last year - speed.

OK, all that said, I realize all that remains to be seen over the long haul. But I figure if I can't be optimistic about my favorite team during the first week+ of the season, then it's pretty pathetic.

Are you referencing a certain physician who posts here?

..............WE WIN!!!

2-19 with RISP doesn't matter today but ...

Well we start off 22nd in OPS. Thats pretty good I guess.

So I guess Bartolo Fat Colon is pitching against us tonight. Cant even remember who the 3 guys we got for him were. I think they are all out of baseball now. Shapiro lived off that stupid trade for years.

I remembered Lee and Sizemore. How could I forget Brandon Phillips. What a dumbbell that Wedgieee is? I guess Phillips was not a grinder or gritty or didnt play the game the right way. Amazing that he his still hitting 280. Where is Wedgeee now?

In retropect it is amazing that we have been in the playoffs twice since we dumped Manny and gave up.

There's not much of a wind at the ballpark, but the Indians have given up 3 homers so far tonight

Ohhh k. Evidently we burned Shaw out the past couple seasons. Arson material. Time to kick him to the curb.

Tribe still up 7-5
