And So It Begins...

Royals 7 Red Sox 1

I promise not to blog on baseball too frequently, but I have to express my angst somehow (and I think Keryn would appreciate if I direct MLB angst here)...

Here’s what I have to say: if Gil Meche pitches like that all season long, he’ll win the Cy Young. Maybe that oversize contract wasn’t so far off the mark as we all thought. Actually, I think that our boys made him look better than he really is...

I know it’s only one game, but I hate starting out with an L like that (especially with those Damn Yankees pulling it out). I’ve been avoiding reading Schilling’s blog so far, but after he stunk up the joint tonight, I might have to sneak a peek.

Dice K debuts tomorrow night. Of course I forgot to set the DVR and will be on a plane between Baltimore and Boston when he fires the infamous gyroball on NESN.

Despite today’s results, I remain guardedly optimistic about the season. (KNOCK ON WOOD).
