Break out the Bubbly!

Not to crash the party, but just like you couldn’t tell anything conclusively from the opening-day loss, you can’t read too much into tonight’s Toddler abusing (the Rockies have been called “Todd [Helton] and the Toddlers.” It is good, however, to get off the snide. The first win of the season can become a big hurdle, especially losing the first one the way the Padres did.

Thoughts from the game:

- Understatement of the day: Giles is off to hot start.

- The bullpen looks good (1 run in 4.1 innings).

- Eaton’s shortcoming has always been his inability to pitch deep into games. Tonight he threw 100 pitches and only pitched 4.2 innings.

- Anyone worried about Loretta? Me either, but he happens to have the lowest batting average among starters (.273).

- Dave who?

Thanks for all you readers who came over to read the Kevin Goldstein interview. Y'all come back now, ya hear…
