Thursday's report

Overall Standings

1. Chico's Chuggers (Shawn) 39
     Three pitchers on opening day is always nice
2. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 26
     Not much to talk about until Kershaw's 21
3. Holliday Road (Bill-Cliff) 19
     Someone should tell Heyward that every day is Opening Day
4. Misfits (Reid) 17
     Kimbrel paying instant dividends
4. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 17
     7 IPs + 0 ERs = 1 loss for Lincecum
6. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 14
     Two quality starts, but no wins on Thursday
7. Triple-A's (Ken) 13
     Only four players active Thursday, but they all scored
8. VC Appraisers (Dave-Kevin) 8
     Friday figures to be better with loads of idles Thursday
8. Ubaldo Spots (Rich) 8
     Braun giveth, Axford taketh away
10. Goatwhisperers (Arik) 2
    Kind of a boring Opening Day when all your players are done by 1 p.m.
