On another note, I'm not gonna get worked up about losing Opening Day to the Giants - as much as it sucks. It was a great game, and a perfect reminder of not only how wonderful this game is, but also of how maddening it really is. I love it so much it makes me want to pull my hair out.
In case you don't already know, the Dodgers lost a close one, 1-0.
Here is a boxscore. Below are more links to check out:
