Man, is it nice that baseball’s back. I got to listen to the Red Sox/Twins game last night on the computer, and it’s close to 7 am now, and I’m watching Japan roll over China in the WBC.

The Tigers won their first spring game as they rolled over the Reds.
Ivan Rodriguez got off to a nice start as he went three for three with a homerun and four RBIs. The Tigers were up 5-1 and the Reds came back to tie it, but the home team scored three in the seventh to put the game away.

Nate Robertson threw two scoreless innings and he struck out two. You can read MLB.com’s review here. And the Tigers square off against the Reds again today.

David Pinto, who’s Baseball Musings is one of the top blogs around, is having his second annual pledge drive. While I haven’t quite gotten the hang of the day by database (I know, I’m behind the curve when it comes to this computer stuff), Baseball Musings is probably the best one stop source for keeping up with the happenings in baseball. If you can afford it, please stop by and make a donation.
