Opening Week- The Good & Bad in Baseball

Baseball is back, and that's a good thing but not everything about opening week was peaches & cream.

We had some ultimate highs and some definite lows.

Let's start with off with some of the disappointments-

Mark Texeria batting average a pathetic .000 (no you're not reading this wrong), you're a Yankee, you get paid mucho dollars, do something about it!

The Mariners, in which every year I hope and pray they will be the club they should be, but only taking one out of four games against the Oakland A's, come on now you have talent, use it and swing the bat!

Poor Houston, the never fail to disappoint, starting off the season 0-3 after the Giants completely shut down their offense (the Astros didn't even score until the 9th inning on Monday).

That brings me to the good news-

Speaking of the Giants, they went 3-0 in their opening series thanks to solid pitching by Tim Lincecum, who threw seven scoreless innings Monday, and Barry Zito who tossed six more on Tuesday.

Atlanta's got a gem in rookie Jason Heyward, who by the way looks 30 not 20 year old. This kid's got drive, smarts, and talent that even Hank Aaron acknowledges, look for him to do some big things this year.

The Oakland A's got off to a good start, and one player who really impressed me center fielder Rajai Davis he's off to a good start batting .316 with a home run, a couple steals, and a downright nasty rob out in center against Milton Bradley on Thursday.

And if you had Vernon Wells on your Fantasy Roster this week you're were happy, the Blue Jay hit four home runs in four games, breaking Toronto's record for homers in opening week.

A hat nod goes out to the Pirates, who never get any love, not too bad of a start (but that might not last that long).

That's all she wrote for now, and if you even think I was going to give any credit to the men in pin stripes, that wil never happen!
