More Channel Surfing

Is that Horrible Gelatinous Blob pitching Opening Day for the Angels? Geez, Bartolo Colon looks like he ate David Wells. He looks like John Goodman in a baseball hat.

I said I was going to watch at least part of every game today. I missed the Cubs/Reds bloodbath, figuring that Bob would handle that one, but so far I've seen pieces of everything else. The networks broadcasting the games continue to hold open mike night between innings but so far no one has said anything naughty. Matter of time.

Pirates versus Brewers. Pirate reliever Matt Capps hangs a pitch to Carlos Lee, who hits a rope in the stands in left about 10 feet foul. Encourged, Capps hangs another one and Lee, not believing it, gets under it and hits it high and far but well foul down the line. He'll never expect another hanger, so Capps gives him one. Lee doesn't hit this one foul. He hits it well back over the fence in left center.

Steve Henderson is singing a silly little ditty between innings of the Mariners/Angels game. Sadly, it's not "Barnacle Bill the Sailor." Keep trying, guys...you'll bring the FCC down on this yet.

Fox Sports Detroit just plugged Red Wings/Flames. Sounds like the appetizer menu at the local sports bar. I almost forgot that hockey exists.

Iron Man Nomar Garciaparra was a scratch from today's Dodgers game. Shocking. Speaking of Iron Men, why is Sandy Alomar Jr. the Opening Day catcher for the Dodgers? Or for anyone?

This is too much fun. And three games haven't even started yet.
