Yes it would have been great for Justin Verlander to get the opening day win and even better a shutout. But the bottom line is that the Tigers got the win and played well.
Valverde has now converted 75 of 79 save opportunities while playing for the Detroit Tigers.

As promissed, here is the Baseballz preview of the Senior League
NL East – Philadelphia Phillies
This team probably still has the best starting pitching in the Majors. A run in September should be all that matters at this point. I’m not drinking the Miami Marlin Kool-Aid just yet.
Central – Detroit Tigers
Losing Martinez in the preseason looked like the Tigers were loosing a big bat for the year. Prince Fielder changed that around really quick. After winning the division by 15 games last season, the division is the Tigers’ to lose. If Verlander plays close to how he did last season and the rest of their starters hold up, they are a threat to win the whole shebang.
Remember the special guest star appearance by the Rally Squirrel last season in the NLDS? The squirrel raced past the plate as Phillies pitcher Roy Oswalt delivered a pitch to Skip Schumaker.
It’s been well known now that Commissioner Bud Selig is proposing a new 10-team playoff system, as apposed to the current 8-team system. This would include a 1-game playoff between the two Wild Card teams in each League.
On the Seattle Mariners’ opening day of FanFest the Safeco Field roof failed to close because of a broken axle.
The roofless ballpark still had their fanfest though since the main roof was still able to be placed over the middle of the field to cover most of the activities.
According to John Axford, via Twitter, the Milwaukee Brewers pitcher signed his very first baby today. It occurred at the Brewers fan fest (Brewers On Deck – 2012).
With the announcement of Prince Fielder going to the Detroit Tigers, Detroit’s odds to win the 2012 World Series have jumped from 14-1 to 9-1.
I see that the Oakland Athletic’s odds are near bottom at 75-1. Billy Beane better get on top of that and email Jose Canseco to help boost those odds.
I was browsing some Twitter accounts for major league baseball players when I came across the Twitter account for ex player Jose Canseco. As I scrolled down his account I came to the conclusion that the man has lost it.
