More to come when I'm more rested, but here's what's rattling around in my head about the first week:
- White Sox, Royals, Orioles, Marlins, and Cards are in or near first place. This will not last. For more on this, see here.
- It really looks like a Year of The Pitcher may occur for the first time in nearly 20 years. Home runs are way down(no surprise), and alot more 2-1, 3-0 games. I think I'm okay with that. Peavy, Webb, Santana, et al have picked up where they left off.
- Billy Buckner(see above for 1986 moment) threw out the first pitch in Boston and was cheered. Amazing what 2 Series titles in 4 years will do to forgive "curses."
- Moises Alou forgave Steve Bartman, saying he probably couldn't have caught the foul ball infamously touched by Bartman in 2003. Amazing what some perspective can do, eh?

In your list of pitchers, you forgot to mention Adam Wainwright, Braden Looper, and Todd Wellemeyer. I hate the fact that there is now a team more annoying than the Yankees, but the Red Sox and their fan base are insufferable.
