First hit for Pena. He's batting above .200 for now.

Someone needs to take a crowbar and hit Soriano in the knee.

Just don't think we have enough offense this year to do any damage.

look at the giants lineup last year. we got plenty of offense compare to that. why be so negative after one freaking game? we have 161 more

I'm not being negative. Castro is the only one in our lineup that I can trust will have a good season and maybe Byrd. Everyone else is a toss-up. Aramis isn't the same player he was a few years ago, Soriano blows.

I am too lol. I don't want to overreact after one game but this team doesn't look too good again. And Dempster getting pounded on Opening Day kills me because I thought he had a chance at a comeback year. He still could I guess.

I'm just not liking the offense. Don't think there's enough power there. Pena is good for 25 homers and Aramis if healthy could hit 30 but what else?
