Friday's report

Friday was Opening Day, Part III in the National League.

And it was a big day for the Rookies (Henry). Apparently, the Padres confused Chad Billingsley with Walter Johnson. Billingsley fanned 11 Pads in eight shutout innings, tallying a whopping 24-point day that nearly doubled the Rookies' output.

Yet it was Pete's Yet Unnamed Team that leads the way, thanks to pitching wins from Ian Kennedy and Jamie Garcia leading to a 43-point Friday.

On the other end of the spectrum is Pitch You Blockhead (Scott), whose total team score is nine points few than Chad Billingsley's. The good news is that PYB is playing the Triple-A's in head-to-head, the second lowest-scoring team so far (22 points).

Saturday and Sunday are full-slate days in the NL, so we should really see some good movement in scoring.

Overall

1. Pete's TBA team 62
2. Misfits (Reid) 58
3. Rookies (Henry) 54
3. Halladay Road (Bill) 54
5. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 43
6. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 35
7. Rick's TBA team 25
7. Billy Ashley Wind Generator (Rich-Brian) 25
9. Triple-A's (Ken) 22
10. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 15

Head-to-head

Pete's TBA team 62, Pickle Bugs 43
Misfits 58, Rick's TBA team 25
Arbitration Losers 35, BAWG 25
Rookies 54, Halladay Road 54
Triple-A's 22, Pitch You Blockhead 15

Opening day update

Jon was upset that Carlos Marmol blew Ryan Dempster's victory, Henry is wishing Clayton Kershaw would have manned-up and pitched two more innings (Michael Jordan never let the flu stop him) and Tim is wishing the Mets scored their run one inning sooner.

Opening Day was a day for the pitchers, at least for those who stuck around long enough to get the win.

At the end of the day Reid's Misfits lead the way, even though they haven't hit much -- 37 of their 42 points come from three starting pitchers.

Overall standings

1. Misfits (Reid) 42
2. Halladay Road (Bil) 31
2. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 31
4. Rookies (Henry) 21
4. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 21
6. Pete's TBA team 19
7. Triple-A's (Ken) 15
8. Billy Ashley Wind Generator (Rich-Brian) 14

10. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 5
