AROUND THE LEAGUE
...Roger Clemens turned in another strong start. After two starts Clemens is 2-0 with an 0.66 ERA. 13 2/3 IP, 3 H, 12 K, 6 BB, with an OPP AVG of .071 and WHIP of 0.66.

...Florida has the best record in baseball at 6-1. The Marlins beat Montreal 5-0 last night behind two homeruns from Miguel Cabrera. Maybe the fish won't be so bad after all, although I still think it will be difficult for them to make the playoffs.

...Jeff Weaver finally looked like Jeff Weaver in his start at San Diego last night. He went 3 2/3 IP, allowing 8 hits and 6 earned runs, which brings his ERA after two starts to a more familiar 5.71.

...Anaheim beat Seattle in the Angels home-opener last night. If you didn't get to see Vlad's HR it was classic Guerrero. The pitch was at about the middle of his shin and he golfed it out of the yard. The Angels had Guerrero DH last night and let Salmon play RF. Troy Glaus is banged up (I know, big surprised) so Shane Halter got the start at third. Last night the Angels welcomed back former Halo Scott Spiezio by playing footage of his dramatic Game 6 homerun in the World Series and the fans gave him a standing ovation. Spiezio signed with the Mariners in the off-season. No word on whether or not they played any music from Spiezio's band "Sandfrog", or as Tim McCarver kept saying during the 2002 playoffs "The Sandfrogs".
