Yes Yes Yes, baseball is back. Francisco Liriano was named the opening day starter for the second year in a row, Josh Harrison is locking down thirdbase, and one day our favorite Korean will be launching bombs in PNC.

There is a lot of excitement, both locally and nationally, with ESPN aboard the hype train as well.

Going into Spring Training the NL Central narratives surronded the continued success of the Cardinals and the up and coming Cubs. Judging from last night the Cardinals will remain elite, but the Cubs aren’t exactly the 1-B of the division. Until they knock off the Bucs, that titled stays in Pittsburgh.

Side note, how pathetic was it that Jon Lester is deathly afraid of picking off runners? The Cardinals had his balls in their back pocket last night and were taking leads off first base twice as far as I have ever seen, not to mention vs a left handed pitcher. As much as ESPN is going to try to stuff the Cubs down our throats, we wont have to worry about them this year.

Now to the face of the franchise…

Get me my red pen. That was a lovely tweet yesterday, but I’m certain he had this tweet queued up for today and tweeked it for Easter.

Jesus Andrew arose from the dead offseason w/ all power in his hands! #OpeningDay #LetsGoBucs

Ah yes much better. I still am skeptical about cutting your hair, hope you prove me wrong.

Play ball.
