Ribbie Reporter -- OPENING DAY

Sadly the Royals and White Sox have been rained out today, but I did catch part of the Phillies-Braves opener last night.

Let's just say that Derek Lowe picked up the first Nachoman Quality Start (NQS) of the year with no problem: 8 shutout innings, 2 hits, 0 walks, 4 Ks and 13 groundball outs behind the sinker.
Baseball really is a simple game when you throw a devastating sinker for strikes and just let the World Champions pound the ball into the infield over and over.
And it gets even simpler when you get three home runs in the first two innings to back you up, including a shot from a rookie making his first MLB at bat.
