Live Blog: Opening Day 2

So far Dempster has nothing.  Doesn't seem to have control of his breaking stuff.  Single and a walk.  Then he started throwing fastballs to Zimmerman.  Got one up in the zone to induce a long fly to CF that would have been a homer or a double on an ordinary day.  Came back nicely to strike out LaRoche and get an easy fly to RF to end the inning.  Dempster threw a lot of pitches that inning and didn't seem right, but no damage done.

Could be a long day.  Three pitches, two outs.  Then Castro hit an easy popup on the second pitch that mysteriously fell right next to the mound.  Soriano hit a long fly on the second pitch to end the inning.  Nothing is going to carry today.  These guys need to stop swinging at pitcher's pitches.
