Joe Nathan was fantastic as the closer.

I noticed the Ogando struck out the side in his one innning.
nice

Great opening day! Really liked the pitching and defense. Kinsler played great but Napoli worried me a little today with 3 K's. I think we will be fine and have a good season. I know it's too early to tell but I really liked the way we looked today.

I bet we lead MLB in both HR's and SB's (which is really rare).

Yes and if not I think we would be in top 5 for both categories.

The funniest thing about this comment is our pitches staff is of the highest quality of late than it has ever been, and you're nervous about it.

I suppose in a sence you are right. As 5+ years ago, there was no point in getting nervous. You knew right up front the pitching staff sucked.

Joe Nathan

I like the guy, but dang does this loss frustrate me.

For the positives, another great showing from our offense. Good job from the bullpen. Holland pitched well. Looking good, except for that one pitch to Rios...

I watched the first two games, but it appears last night game is one I definitely should have watched.

Hamilton
Harrison

I'm guessing tickets might be pretty tough to come by tonight. Even with bad weather.

True.
But in this case, tickets aren't the problem. I would be 1/2 way between home plate and 3rd base about 10 rows off the field.

I've been living in Dallas for 20+ years. That helps a lot.

We used to sit right behind 3rd base, but up under the second deck. We didn't sit there because those were our seats. We sat there because it was out of the sun and usually better seats than we paid for. I mean, nobody else was sitting there, so we did!

Great location in the summertime!
