Opening Day in Baseball: The longest tenured player with a single team, Chipper Jones of the Atlanta Braves, scored the first run of the 2011 baseball season in a 2-0 victory over the Washington Nationals on opening day Thursday. In the other 1:05 p.m. Eastern start, the New York Yankees played the first March game ever in the Bronx and defeated the Detroit Tigers 6-3.
Disappointing way to begin the season.

You said it, YYM. Captain Chin Puff already with his first blown save of the year, and Albert 0 for 5 with 5 LOB? Goodness. Unacceptable.

After last year I am never drafting Ryan Franklin in fantasy baseball again.

St. Louis should trade Pujols now, before his contract distraction and pending free agency cripple the Cardinals. I think the best location for him is a large city with a team that has won championships, has deep pockets, and guaranteed good weather for all home games. Plus, he will get exclusive national exposure by playing in this market.
The team?
The Toronto Blue Jays.
Do it! Do it NOW, St. Louis!
Please? Pretty please?
