    I'm beginning to think he's pretty good at baseball.

    Serve it up Rodney. Panik should shoot the arrow at him when he scores.

    There have been other pitchers who have homered on opening day, but it's rare. According to CBS, in order to list the last five who have done it, you have to go back to the 60s. I can't find a good place that lists which pitchers have homered on opening day. It's entirely possible that a pitcher was the only one to have homered on the first day and led the leagues, but it seems unlikely. More likely is that when a pitcher homered on opening day, he was tied for the lead with whoever else homered that day.

    Except if that day was the day of Karl "Tuffy" Rhodes.

    Don't worry, Melancon is on it.

    That's now two blown saves for the Giants on opening day. But the game is still early.

    Melancon's high school mascot was the Demons. If it had been the Bishops, you could say the Diamondbacks beat the Bishop on Opening Day.

    And if you actually had something of value to contribute we would say you had something to contribute.

    Maybe something about putting on that uniform? Melancon was quite good the last few seasons. :)
