OK. I will be worn out in May, too.
There are thirty opening day starters. On average, everyone gets two, I have three. And not the "Pavano-esh" types either. I end up with three good starts. A little more than 18 IP (i.e. no one knocked out before becoming pitcher of record). Had 10 k's. Not great, but OK. Hits and Walks? 18 so a little under a 1.000 WHIP. ER? Four. ERA under 2. W-L-ND? Should be based on those number say 2-1-0 or 2-0-1. What did Millwood, Haren and Oswalt do? 0-2-1. At least I am consistent with last year. Looks like I will be drinking a lot of salty beer this year.
And what else do the baseball gods do?
Gil Meche and the KC Royals beat the pudding out of BoSox and Schilling. Nice.
For those Brett Myers owners out there, here is one for you. Myers pitches a gem and gets through seven (the only oops a two run shot to McCann). He has a one run lead, has thrown nearly 100 pitches, and will lead off the bottom of the seventh. Textbook opportunity to bring in the bullpen to close it out. How much faith does Charlie Manuel have in his 1-2 punch of Madson/Gordon. THE ROARIN' SOB leaves Myers in, who walks, has to run the bases, then comes in in the top of the eight, gets two but gives up a centerfield shot to Renteria (whom I have so there is some good luck after all for me), and leaves with the game tied and a ND.
I sometimes have to wonder.

Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn't lend itself to histrionics. You 'take in' a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
