Let's Get Rolling

We're about 10 minutes away from the second game of the season, and with Opening Day's festivities over, it is time to get serious. Well, as serious as it gets this early in the season anyway.

Kenny Rogers is taking the hill and prepares to answer some of the doubters. It's hard to say whether or not a 43-year-old man can be a major contributor for a MLB team, but the fact that he's pitching second in the rotation shows how much Jim Leyland thinks of him. Rogers entire season is based off of the outside fastball and whether or not he's getting that call will say a lot about how he pitches in each start.

It's hard to imagine the Royals keeping the Tiger bats as quiet as they were on Monday, and it's even harder to see Placido Polanco having another 0-5 day. Brian Bannister takes the mound for the Royals and fared well against the Tigers in his rookie season last year. Hopefully, the Opening Day jitters have faded for Edgar Renteria, Jacque Jones, and Miguel Cabrera and we'll get a taste of what we expect from these three today.

It's a beautiful day in Detroit. It is most certainly time for some April baseball.
