All right, I’m here with quesadilla in hand, ready to kick this thing off. I see MLB Network kicked it off about an hour ago. I’m certain they filled that time with worthwhile information.
Live-Blogging Strasmas: Stephen Strasburg’s MLB Debut, Pregame
- I love pitching. I love dominant pitching, and I love watching dominant pitching. Dominant pitching is the most beautiful part of the game. But while part of me wants to see Strasburg no-hit the Pirates for as long as he’s in, I can’t be the only person who’d find it funny if the Pirates beat the snot out of the little elven-looking son of a bitch.
- You know who feels like a real asshole right now? Drew Storen. How’s that shadow, Drew? At least he’s going to save a lot of money on sunscreen.
- I’d just like to take this opportunity to point out that all eyes will be fixed on a mid-week June game between the Nationals and the Pirates. Ordinarily, a lower-profile organization like Pittsburgh might be thrilled to get this many viewers. As is, the Pirates might’ve preferred it when nobody realized how bad they are. Without Ryan Doumit in the lineup tonight, I just...I mean...Strasburg’s ~90 pitch count could get him two complete games.
- Aaaaand we’re muted. Way to impress, MLB Network.
