I'm telling you, Nelson Cruz is a bad man. What a great game to start the season in Arlington.

Hell yeah. A great start to the baseball season.

Missed it. How far was that HR?

Jays just lost

The way they lost today is how they'll lose a majority of their games IMO. Like I said early on it's not gonna be about the wins and losses but the development of the team:

- Marcum looked AMAZING today. The guy has so many pitches in his arsenal and I said it a couple years ago but I really think he has the stuff to be an ace. If Cruz had hit that ball anywhere else it would've been a loud flyball out.
- Vernon Wells actually produced!
- Every time Encarnacian throws the ball in the field i'm scared that it'll end up in the stands or way out of reach.
- Snider didn't produce with the bat today but he made a great catch in the OF.
- I got scared when Hill got hit when stopping the ball in the infield in the 9th. Luckily he's okay.
- Perhaps Cito should've used Gregg to finish the game. I know Frasor is the closer but the guy has horrendous numbers in Arlington.

Well I can't say I was expecting to see Sean Marshall in the 2nd inning.

That looked like a check swing homer. I can't believe that went out. Nasty power.

Where were you when....

I believe this will be one of those sports moments where people look back and remember where they were when they saw a great moment in sports history. Jason Heyward's first AB/HR....

So, where were you?

Me: watching the live cut in on MLB Network with my 2 yr old daughter who I was helping do somersaults. My wife also in the room, asking, "Why are you so interested in watching this guy?"

Well honey... THAT's WHY!!!
