Jake Peavy Picks Up Right Where He Left Off, Blanks Astros
A few MLB nuggets every morning of the season ...

Padres 4, Astros 0 Several great pitching performances yesterday, but outside of Kerry Wood and Eric Gagne, Jake Peavy was once again the best. 7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER. It's too easy for him ... he even leads the team in RBI's with a 4th inning 2-run single to help his cause. One of a few pitchers in baseball worth the price of admission by themselves.

Dodgers 5, Giants 0 And the sucking begins. Who will win first - O's or Giants? I'd say it was an impressive out for Brad Penny, but this is a lineup that has Randy Winn in the 3-spot and Bengie Molina at clean-up.

Mariners 5, Rangers 2 Kevin Millwood pitched fairly well - maybe it was that aggressive offseason boxing routine (no, not really) - but the acquisition of Erik Bedard pays off early for Seattle. Bad news: Ichiro begins hitless.

Nats 11, Phillies 6 Speaking of bad bullpens, enjoy Tom Gordon as closer for the time being. Flash actually made Kerry Wood look good. 0.1 IP, 4 H, 5 ER. Ladies and Gentleman, your 2-0 undefeated, division leading Washington Nationals.

Craziest game of the day: Pirates 12, Braves 11 (11) Neither bullpen was remotely interested in closing this game out.  Xavier Nady is your NL HR leader this morning after a 4-for-7, 2 HR, 4 RBI night. The Bravos used nine pitchers which makes today's off day incredibly useful. Not for Braves fans, however, not exactly the start they were looking for.

The Brewers have had some God-awful line ups in not all too distant years, but I don't think we've ever been bad enough where we'd have Randy Winn batting third and Bengie Molina fourth.  Its going to be a rough season out in San Fran this year.

Rickie Weeks leading off is bad enough.  He needs to wake up in a hurry.
Eh... when he got called back up last year his OBP was almost .500, so I'll give him some time before calling him out this year.
