Hooray for Swisher leading off. Cliff Levingston called it about a month ago.

Why is Crede all the way down at 8th? Also, Cliff Levingston wishes Dye was 3rd, not Thome.

Dye's speed (bat speed and running speed) have gone down big time. Dye is best suited as the 5th hitter.

Buehrle looked like crap, Uribe went 1-4 with 3 K's, Alexei looked overmatched. Crede was not that great offensively. I liked that this team showed emotion and flare for once. Also loved that our offense didn't look like sh*t.

Well at least the bats are working. Thome looks like he might be in for good season. He looked real good with the two run shot to take the lead.

I'm a little worried about the starting pitching this year. MB a 7 run second inning ouch..........

He started off really strong last year too. We'll see how he holds up.

Cliff Levingston has been worried about it since we traded Garland and didn't replace him with a legit starter. It won't be long before Javier Vazquez is our number 1, and that'll be pretty sad.
