Season Underway

This notion of having a couple of regular season games in the week before everyone else gets started is pretty silly, but the regular baseball season is finally underway for good. Already there’s excitement. The Detroit Tigers, the biggest underdog team in all of baseball, given their performance last year, opened their season by shutting out the Toronto Blue Jays 7-0. And the San Francisco Giants won in familiar fashion. Down 4-1 in the eighth, Barry Bonds hit a three-run home run. The Giants scored another run in the ninth to win 5-4. In the game Barry Bonds went 3-for-3 with a walk.

One down, 161 to go.
