Opening Day Starters

April 8, 2009

So baseball season has began, along with the fantasy season that everyone loves.

And many pitchers that were in the Cy Young running were trashed in their first outing.

Tim Lincecum, CC Sabathia, Cliff Lee, Roy Halladay(to an extent), James Shields, and Brandon Webb.

Last year Cliff Lee and Brandon Webb jumped off to great undefeated starts.

Roy Halladay was consistently beastly all season.

CC picked up the slack after his trade, and Shields picked up around mid-season.

Tim Lincecum was just Tim Lincecum, so he was purely amazing all season.

But this year all of them have ERAs that are off the charts, but mostly because they have had only one bad start.

Don’t fret fans, all of these pitchers, especially the “Say-K Kid” will have stellar seasons.

Not all will be Cy Young seasons, but all will top-tier pitchers as expected.

Fantasy owners: keep them, unless they all go 0-5 or have a 2-2 record with an insanely high ERA.

USA should not worry that Lincecum had one bad outing, he will be back to his goofy windup/dominating self sooner than expected.

He might pitch on 1 day’s rest just to prove it to you ignorant people.

They can only go up from here.

Diggin' the fam Cliff. Keep the bitty in good shape.
