It’s always good to get that first bludgeoning out of the way. Hondo went draino last night with the Rangers, who were pummeled by the lowly ’Stros to put the Day 1 deficit at 80 lemongellos.
Today, since the Fish will be swimming upstream all season, he will back Strasburg and the Nats with 10 units. Also, you can’t bet against Jon Niese when his wife is wearing her lucky blue skivvies, so Mr. Aitch will put another 10 on the Metamucils. As they say in Nigeria: Goodluck Jonathon. And finally, not even that most optimistic of Yankee fans, Rosie Scenario, sees any hope for the aged and injured Yankees — 10 on the Sawx to coldcock CC.
