A week ago, Curtis Granderson had a 50-50 chance to play on Opening Day. Grandy didn’t just play, though; he started and ended the game with terrific catches in center, and hit a game-winning solo shot in the seventh.
Baseball is back. Boy am I glad.

What the Tex?:
Mark Teixeira hit a three-run bomb to right in the third inning. Wait, I thought Tex wasn’t supposed to start hitting until May. *Looks at poll in left sidebar*
Game Ball:
Granderson? Yeah, Granderson.
Sterlingism:
“There ARE two away”
