Hello everyone! Happy 2010 baseball season! I hope those of you that celebrate Easter had a happy Easter weekend! Mine was good except for the rain, we didn’t really need to go outside anyway because my parents hid most of the eggs in the house. My nephew loved the egg hunt, it was the funnest thing ever for him. After that i had brunch with my parents, sister, bro in law & their two kids. That night i watched the season opener of the Red Sox & Yankees.
  On Monday i stayed home most of the day because it was opening day! I watched the Cardinals first, and Pujols hit two home runs in the game also Carpenter pitched well, he did give up a few runs though and still got the win. 😉 After that i watched the Giants against the Astros, i did not realize the Giants would sweep but they did! The first night Lincecum was pitching and he had 7K’s and no earned runs, which was good compared to the rusty spring training outings.  The Giants offense looks good so far, Aaron Rowand seemed to be cold the first two games but he went 4-6 on Wed.  I thought Zito & Cain pitched surprisingly well, Cain did struggle a little at the end but they have a great pitching staff compared to the other teams. Brian Wilson closed two of the games in houston and he was pretty sharp too, I think they had Medders in for too long in that one game, but when he came in he got the job done.  I was sad though about Buster Posey being sent back to AAA. I was hoping that they’d use him as a backup catcher but then he wouldn’t get to play everyday. I think he would be a good dh if the Giants were an AL team.   I also watched some Angels games this week because of the free preview channels on comcast.  They seem to struggle with the pitching this year since they no longer have Lackey.  Their hitting is pretty decent after acquiring Matsui from the Yankees. The Twins seemed to be tougher against the halos, especially the two sluggers Mauer & Morneau. Hopefully tonight they can at least split the series. 
 Today i watched the Rangers & Blue Jays because CJ Wilson was making his first start ever, since being in the bullpen for most of his career on the Rangers. I am not sure if he started in the minors or college, but it was nice seeing him start & he did really well too, he had 7 k’s in 7 innings, sadly the bullpen blew the 1-0 lead so Wilson didn’t get the win. 😦 This is really long so hopefully it made sense.  I am not the greatest writer in the world and i sound like im 15 years old but i am more of  ranter so a lot of things wont make sense coming from me. haha 😉  Til next time! I am going to the Giants vs Braves game on the 10th!  Its Timmy’s 2nd cy young award night & fireworks.
