    The new baseball stadium in detroit is called Comerica Park. Shortening it to CoPa would be fun but I don't think that's happened yet.

    ok, opening night - first one I've missed in 5years. Lets go Halladay, tame those kitties
    There once was a scotsman named Drew
    Who put too much wine in his stew
    He felt a bit drunk
    And fell off his bunk
    And landed smack into his shoe

    You know what? I didn't know where Comerica Park was. I knew about Detroit getting the new stadium, and I heard the name, but I honestly never realized that the two were together. Actually, CoPa does sound better. I wonder if anyone would catch on to it now that you've said it.


    I am not expecting too much from The Brewers. Maybe that was a fluke last year. Maybe it wasn't. I don't know. All I know is that I have learned through the years to never expect much from them. That way when they aren't the number 1 team, or aren't even the Wild Card, I won't be as disappointed because I wouldn't have had my hopes up. Then, if they do make it to at least one of the playoff series, that will be a pleasant surprise for me.

    Nevertheless, I will say
    GO BREWERS!!!!!

    Woooo hoooo!

    O's win opener against Yankees
    Top of order shines as O's get to Sabathia, pound out 14 hits in victory
    By Jeff Zrebiec | [email protected]

    For five innings Monday, Opening Day 2009 had gone exactly as the Orioles had hoped. Jeremy Guthrie, who couldn't get anybody out in spring training, had allowed only one run. CC Sabathia, the New York Yankees' ace who was presented with a seven-year, $171 million deal this offseason, was pounded for six runs and had already exited a game that he was expected to dominate.

    And the biggest Opening Day crowd in Camden Yards history took great pride in showering New York first baseman Mark Teixeira with boos after his decision to sign with the Yankees and not his hometown Orioles.

    Ouch! Indians tanked their first. 1-9 to the Rangers.

    Oooh I bet the Yanks aren't going to get their money's worth out of CC. You never should have left Cleveland, Sabathia!

    Their progress last year really surprised me, too! They have not done so great since Paul Molitor's times in the 1990's; I cannot remember who he traded to later in his career, but he seemed to have an attachment to the Brewers that brought out the best in his game - subsequently, they did impressively!

    Yeah, it happened to come on while cleaning my apartment, and I listened to it more than watched it. I still cannot believe it - what a good start for the Orioles!

    He went to the Blue Jays, and then eventualy the Twins, which is where I think he kind of wanted to end his career. He is from Minnesota, anyway. A major problem of the Brewers for so long was the owner. We have someone now who really tries with the team. Then they seemed to be plagued with bad managers. Firing Yost was very satisfying for me.

    As for their first game today:
    Brewers 6
    Giants 10


    CLASSIC!!!! So typical of them.

    D'oh!
    Oh well, The Giants have not done too impressively for a while (take that, Barry Bonds! ), and it seems only typical that they should have some benefit one season. Probably just a fluke - the Brewers just need to get back in the habit out on the field.
