Great way to start things...

with joe mauer's contract situation resolved, morneau's back problems a thing of the past, and a resurgent carl pavano, look for the twins to beat the phils in 6. you heard it here first.

Groomed in the Sox farm system, Pavano along with another pitcher, Brian Rose were to be the foundation of the Sox staff in the mid 90's. They had glimmer for about a year. Pavano was traded with Tony Armas Jr to the Expos for Pedro Martinez in '97. Pavano really was never the same. He made some serious bling riding the pine with Yanks. Was he throwing heat against the Royals?

Yeah tradition is gone Nellie. Didn't the Reds and Orioles use to start the season for their respective leagues? At least they're not starting the season in Japan. Shocked

Usually opened up in Cinci ...the a few teams the next day. Always loved the Tigers opener on the radio with Ernie Harwell. Living outside Toronto toward Detroit we used to get a lot of games on the radio at night as I was a kid:

Harwell
Nuxhall in Cinci
Prince and the green weenie in Pitt
By Saum in Philly before Callas
Buck in St loo
Caray in Chitown

Be interesting to see how they handle his development.

Hopefully they start him at AA and see how he goes regardless of his spring stats. Drew Storen in relief could be a good one too.

Kan. man sues Royals claiming hot dog injury

By BILL DRAPER, Associated Press Writer 3 hours, 6 minutes ago

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)—Baseball fans who sit six rows behind the third-base dugout at the Kansas City Royals’ stadium know they might have to duck a few foul balls.

But a Kansas man says it was a flying hot dog, not a baseball, that almost put his eye out last year.

John Coomer has filed a lawsuit against the Royals seeking more than $25,000 for injuries he sustained Sept. 8 when he was smacked in the eye with a hot dog chucked by the team’s mascot, Sluggerrr.

Coomer said the wayward wiener caused a detached retina and the development of cataracts in his left eye.

Royals spokesman David Holtzman declined to comment Tuesday. He also would not say whether the lawsuit is the reason the team is looking for a replacement for its large lion mascot.
