McFann…BMac knocking in that first RBI for you…to ease your mind. I predict a breakout year like never before for BMac :)

Heyward just murdered that baseball…got out of there in less than 2 seconds !

I truly wish you people were as successful at your jobs as you are at criticizing a fan being happy and who may not have taken the time to be 100% accurate. And AT that is not directed at you.

Wonder if Livan and Pudge could be the oldest combined age battery combo in the history of opening day? Pudge 39, Livan 36, a combined 75 years old officially. (But I think Livan may be closer to 46 than 36 in reality)

Bill, but any game can be rained out. They don’t schedule a day off after every game of the season. Why the first game ? The Phillies first game is on Friday and they play on Saturday as well.

Nate needs a good first week of the reg season to erase last year from memory. Spring doesn’t mean anything other than we’re healthy.

The best thing about the Heyward HR was thathne hit a pitch in a location where he had trouble last year — up and in.

Nationals broadcaster says “Werth is batting .1000 as a Nat, and so is Zimmerman”, well duh; that’s what happens when you get one hit in your first at bat in the season.

5 feet would’ve had his heel near the edging of the grass at the track….

From my view it looked closer to 20 feet

Hey sportsmandh, it would take me a long time to figure out if it was really the oldest, but 39-year old Terry Leach pitched to 45-year old Carlton Fisk on the 1993 White Sox.

Sigh, living with the “home feed” being in the Nats’ home market.

Ankiel’s fly ball looked to be gone off the bat, gives you an idea of how hard Heyward must have hit that homer to right field.
