Peavy vs Oswalt. It doesn't get better than that. I'm anxious to see our new lineup in action, as well as the bullpen. I really hope our pitching ends up being better than I fear it will be, but either way I can't wait for the season to start.

Also:

Let's do this.

Ah they decided to go with Ausmus catching Oswalt after all eh? I figured they would. Roy was talking about how he doesn't feel comfortable with any other catcher so I expect Brad to catch Roy all season and Towles to catch the rest of the days.

So, we still have the 2 automatic outs at the bottom of our lineup but I'm optimistic about 1-7.

The game needs to hurry up and start, I hate these West Coast games because of the late start.

You know what would be really super cool?

Scoring a few runs. Imagine that!
