Chicago: Brewers 7, Cubs 4
Poor Carlos Marmol spent his opening day getting showered by boos from Cubs fans, which apparently angered many of his teammates. Fans should feel free to respond to that anger with more boos.
St. Louis: Reds 13, Cardinals 4
Shin-Soo Choo did his best to give this game away, but his team responded by scoring nine freaking runs in the top of the ninth inning and blowing out the Cards.
Arlington: Rangers 5, Rays 4
Great news, we have our first colossal umpiring fuck up of the season. Thanks, Marty Foster.
Atlanta: Louisville 82, Michigan 76
So there you go, the Louisville Cardinals are your 2013 NCAA tournament champions. This game was about as entertaining as we could have hoped for, despite some shaky officiating. Anyway, let’s just enjoy Peyton Siva’s dad some more.
Cleveland: Scott Kazmir heads back to the DL
Kazmir is returning to his natural habitat with a strained ribcage muscle. But the good news is that top prospect and rap phenom Trevor Bauer will be taking over Kazmir’s spot in the rotation.
Atlanta: Phillies 2, Braves 0
Good news for Phillies fans who are worried about Roy Halladay pitching like a big weirdo: it looks like Cliff Lee is still good! He pitched eight shutout innings, allowing just two hits while striking out eight.
