What I Want To See On Opening Day…
What I want to see Friday night in Toronto…
-Denard Span having a 9-pitch at-bat and drawing a walk.
-Alexi Casilla getting through a whole game without a bonehead mistake of some kind (not holding my breath on this one)
-Nishioka lining a single to left/center/right and being halfway to first base before the ball leaves the infield.
-The M&M boys together in the lineup.
-Cuddyer gunning a ball in from RF.
-Danny Valencia just being himself…or cool.
-Pavano laboring through 7-8 innings and keeping us in the game.
-Jim Thome just swinging. Seriously…even a whiff is epic with that guy.
And finally, what I’ve been waiting to here for over a year now…
If that song is playing, I’ll know a win is within reach!!

Let’s see, if Steel Dragon is playing it is a win……If Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch are playing…it is a loss?
I think I can live with that.
Going to be interesting to see how Tsuyoshi Nishioka does in his MLB debut. I am hoping for a great outing since I drafted him as one of my 2B’s for the season.
Going to be fun, and hopefully Joe Nathan will be the last guy standing with his head banging to Steel Dragon. Got to rock it man!
