Hiroki Kuroda in his Debut for The Padres was brilliant in his first start in the United States, holding San Diego to three hits in seven innings and leading the Los Angeles Dodgers to a 7-1 win last night.Kuroda frustrated the Padres with a mix of fastballs and sliders, plus an occasional splitter. The right-hander allowed Brian Giles' first homer of the season, but otherwise limited the Padres to two singles while striking out four and walking none.
The 33-year-old Kuroda was one of the Dodgers' big offseason acquisitions, signing a $35.2 million, three-year contract in December.

Bush booed at 2008 Nationals home opener

Just to mention i was happy at the Boo's Bush got on opening night at Nationals Park,They guy is a tyrant and a mass murderer...but hey thats just my opinion.

No word on Martinez's injury

The Indians had no news on catcher Victor Martinez on Tuesday morning.

Whether that's good news remains to be seen.

Martinez was taken in for an MRI after Monday's season opener to determine the severity of the left hamstring strain he suffered while running the bases in the second inning.On Tuesday, the Tribe did not offer any information about the results of the MRI, though media relations director Bart Swain said the team is not currently contemplating a roster move involving Martinez. Martinez, who went 2-for-2 with a run scored and an RBI on Monday, injured the hamstring while trying to advance from first to second on a pitch in the dirt. He didn't even make it to the bag, pulling up lame and tumbling awkwardly to the ground. He was tagged for the final out of the inning and had to be helped off the field.

But the Game of the night was Pittsburg Pirates at Atlanta Braves,With 3 extra inning having to be played to decide a winner.Xavier Nady hit his second homer of the game, a three-run shot in the 12th inning, and the Pittsburgh Pirates overcame a horrific ninth and another potential collapse for a 12-11 win Monday night, ruining Atlanta's home opener.

So the season has started off with some great games and lots of runs in both AL and NL Leagues,If this is a taste of whats to come then i cant wait for more.

Open Night Barves at The Nationals

The New Nationals Ball Park

A small documentary on the new Washington Nationals Ball Park

Well folks tonites the nite for all us Baseball Freaks,As the new season starts at the Washington Nationals new Nationals Park stadium.The Nationals host The Atlanta Braves in what is the 1st game of the new season.After a fly over of the new 41,888-seat ballpark by F-16 bombers from the 121st Fighter Squadron of the D.C. Air National Guard.,President George W Bush will pop the 1st pitch into the mitt of the Nats' manager.Then the serious stuf begins.

Pitching tonite for the Nationals is left-hander Odalis Perez, The 30-year-old, originally a Brave wasn't even signed by the Nats to a Minor League contract until Feb. 19 -- after Spring Training had already begun. Now here he is taking the ball on a historic Opening Night."That's history, to be the first guy to pitch at the stadium," Perez said. "It's a great feeling for me to be able to throw the first pitch.
"I was just trying to make the team," Perez added, "and [being the Opening Night starter] never crossed my mind. Now I'm getting this opportunity that a lot of people wanted."

Pitching for the Braves is Tim Hudson in what is his fifth Opening Day assignment of his career."Pitching any Opening Day is special for anybody," said Hudson, who pitched a 1-0 gem against Seattle to open the 2003 season for Oakland, but has no-decisions in his other Opening Day starts. "Being in the nation's capital with a new stadium, there's a lot of excitement there.
"You can always say you're the first team to play there and I can say I was one of the first pitchers to throw some pitches in the stadium."
