Warning!! Danger!! Annual Off-topic Baseball Thread '07!! Beware!!

[ChuckElias]

Good news for our left coasties:

Felix Hernandez of the (GASP!) Seattle Mariners, the 20-year-old would-be phenom who has lost 20 pounds since a disappointing 2006 season, thoroughly dominated the defending AL West champion Oakland Athletics in a 4-0 victory Monday. The major leagues' youngest Opening Day pitcher in 22 years (since Dwight Gooden) allowed three hits and struck out a career-high 12 in eight innings.

And in other news about teams that nobody cares about, Ben Sheets produced the first Opening Day complete game in 15 years for the Brewers. I always want to see the Brewers do well, but they just always stink.
