Spring Record (3-2)

L 10-11 vs SD

OK, so we are mortal. But even with the loss, a lot of good came out of this game. King Felix looked like his old brilliant self, which is awesome news since I just traded for him in my fantasy league. Also, Wladimir Balentien went yard twice, showing some flashes of power. I really hope he can have a big spring and show something during the regular season in that hole we have in right field.

W 6-2 vs SD
So apparently all we do is play the Padres. BUT we roughed up Jake Peavy pretty good. The bats are really coming around, and if this is any indication of what this year is going to be like, I am PUMPED.

L 6-5 vs ChC
First the good. Wash looked great through 3 innings, not giving up a run. But not much else to praise here. So I have my first concerns of the spring pop up here. Through 5 games, Ichiro doesn't have a hit. Not that that is much of a concern, he will still bat .350. But still, it's very strange to not see him dominating 19 year olds. Also, JEFF SAMARDZIJA got the win in this game. Yeah, the freaking surfer bum wide receiver from Notre Dame. This does not make me happy.
