One humorous moment from the bottom of the second inning was when Vladimir Guerrero was up to bat. Going into the break prior to Vlad's at bat Joanna was saying how she couldn't muster the appropriate sensation that a fan should have for a new player (which was somewhat understood due to Vlad being an Angel for so long). She said she just couldn't bring herself to cheer for the guy.
That was short-lived, however, because once Blue Jay pitcher Shaun Marcum pegged Vlad in the back she was screaming at how blatant it was Marcum was aiming for the Ranger's clean-up hitter. Her turnaround was quite amazing, but that is what makes sports such a beautiful and pleasurable hobby.
8th Inning Update:
Watching Neftali Feliz on the mound today, I was really expecting the same electric feeling the young pitcher from the Dominican Republic gave the audience every time he threw the ball last season, but this is not that same feeling. I'm not sure what is happening, but Feliz has only struck one guy out, he walked another, and a third batter slugged it into left field. Pitching coach Mike Maddux has even had to come talk to the power pitcher who is supposed to be our eighth inning shutdown pitcher.
Well Feliz has now been pulled out after another single that scored the winning run. I hope it was just Opening Day jitters that had Feliz so shaky. We'll see.
9th Inning Update:
Woohoo Nelson Cruz! What a game!
Post-game Update:
HELLO WIN COLUMN!!! This was a great Opening Day. They weren't getting any hits but they hung in there and stuck with it. Barring any injuries or other kind of setbacks out of the team's control, this should be a great season.
