Dodgers/Tigers: Lessons Learned from Week One

Once again, the Detroit Tigers have sprinted out of the cage (remember last year's three home run opening day for Dmitri Young?) and captured a modest amount of buzz after drilling the Royals for a few games. But don't forget --- the Royals are horrible. But the pitching for Detroit combined with the rising star of Chris "Beltin" Shelton have reason to give fans Paws. Get it? He's the mascot.

The Dodgers are a bit less firm at this point, with an outrageous amount of hitting and run production and an even more outrageous lack of pitching. And Gagne will likely never play again. Something about all that rain screwed up both teams, though. So I'm going to avoid reading anything into the Braves series.

"Beltin" is hitting .700 and all 5 starters have wins. Suddenly the fair-weather in Detroit has a chance to last past Opening Day tommorow. Verdict's still out.
