The stories came out last night and this morning that Charlie's Getting Peeved. which leads to the debate that seems to pop up every year about how much exhibition play means for the regular season, despite all the losing springs (6 of last 7) in seasons that ended with winning records only spoiled by one 80-81 one.
So A Crucial Game vs the Twins?

Another Eaton start, another win yesterday. Today it's it's the Tigers, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and predict with the weather forecast they don't make it to the 5th inning.

Opening Day! The Nats! Defending NL East Champs Phils! Can you feel the excitement? Tom Gordon will be the closer in Lidge's absence.
Game Thread Phils vs Nats 3/31
Just terrible news about Lidge. Given his struggles in Houston I'm not optimistic.
SPOILER ALERT: same starting eight in the lineup in the first game of the season as in the last. You probably don't see that often.
