A sunny day on the Allegheny
Lots of reunions down on the field today. It’s a little chilly, but the sun is out and PNC Park is ready for its Opening Day 2006.
It’s funny, we’ve hit so few homers this year that Grady said before the game he could actually remember the last four – Dioner Navarro yesterday, J.D. Drew back in L.A., Sergio Garcia’s walk-off shot on the last day in Vero Beach and Brett Tomko’s in Port St. Lucie during the second-to-last day of the Grapefruit League. At least we’ve all got a sense of humor about it, knowing that with a team that has Jeff Kent, Drew, Nomar and Jose Cruz, we’ll hit our share of homers this year.
Anyway, today’s lineup is: Furcal, SS; Repko, CF; Cruz, LF; Kent, 2B; Saenz, 1B; Ross, RF; Navarro, C; Martinez, 3B; Perez, P
Speaking of Home Runs, is Repko earning more playing time with his hot start? He’s got the hottest bat in the lineup right now. Also, Loney is playing exceptionally well, are there plans to keep him in the majors or is he going back to Vegas?
cody Ross- just completed his first full MLB game. 2 for 4 a triple off the wall plus he stole a base. Ken Gurnick failed to mention Ross. Way to go Ross- theres lots of fans pulling for you.
