LET THE GAMES BEGIN

Finally after a real long winter the 2010 baseball season is here and we didn't start off very well today playing in Phoenix against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

From the AP:

"Stephen Drew hit an inside-the-park home run and Dan Haren held San Diego to three hits in seven innings in the Arizona Diamondbacks' 6-3 win over the Padres on Monday."

"For the second year in a row, someone hit an inside-the-park homer on opening day — former Diamondbacks player Emilio Bonifacio did it for the Florida Marlins last year, which was the first one after 41 years."

"Drew's was the sixth inside-the-park home run in the franchise's 13-year history and the fifth by any player at Chase Field."

"Adrian Gonzalez and Kyle Blanks hit consecutive two-out homers off Bob Howry in the ninth for San Diego".

It would have been nice to start the season off with a win but who would have thought that there would have been another inside the park homer in this game.

The one that really matters is our home opener, here at Petco Park on April 12th. In that game we will be taking on the Atlanta Braves.

I am pleased that Adrian started the year off with a homer and am really glad that we held on to Kyle Blanks...I have a feeling if he stays healthy this year he will do well.

So hurray!

It really is spring when baseball starts.
