The A's dropped two of three to the New York Mets, closing out a homestead in which they lost 4 of 6. Yes, they showed signs of being able to compete with some of the best teams in the National League.

Has Jung Hoo Lee cemented his status as superstar yet? He singlehandedly carried the San Francisco Giants to capturing a three-game series with the New York Yankees in New York.

The SF Giants' home opener comes after a 5-1 season-opening road trip , while the A's try to shake off a disastrous opening homestead with a trip to Colorado. Plus, I scan the major leagues and the silly leash managers are placing on starting pitchers. And, I have a little memory of my broadcast days at SF State.
