Well, the Giants failed to win their opener last night, but that's why they play 162 of them. Cain will pick them up tonight in what is sure to be another fantastic game.
The real story here, of course, is that it is time for the Oakland A's to begin their campaign. Tonight, Trevor Cahill squares off against 2010 Cy Young recipient Felix Hernandez. I fully expect an 8 inning pitching duel between the two. If the A's can get Felix's pitch count up, however, they may have some fun with the soft Seattle 'pen.
Dear followers, looking ahead We're In This Thing has great plans to follow baseball all season. Frankie and I will post a weekly recap. His will focus on the Giants and the NL, while mine will focus on the A's and the AL. I'm not sure what day Frankie will have for his, but the A's recap will be a Tuesday or Wednesday post. There may be extra posts for large events, but we're going to not try and overwhelm our faithful.
A result of this will be to allow us to post more on other sports. Look for hockey and basketball playoff previews and other remarks about the sports landscape throughout the whole summer. We're excited and we hope you are too.
Tonight's prediction - A's 4, Seattle 2. Trevor Cahill starts off his season right with 8 IP, 7 strikeouts, and one mistake to Justin Smoak. Matsui hits a solo shot and drives in another for the A's.
Let's go Oakland!
