Hiroki Kuroda (0-0, 0.00) vs. Jake Peavy (0-0, 0.00).
COMMENTS: According to the mlb.com game notes, Kuroda got the Opening Day nod by default since he's the oldest returning Dodger in the starting rotation. And if that isn't a vote of confidence, I don't know what is. Meanwhile, Jake Peavy was pedestrian in his World Baseball Classic appearances this spring, posting a 14.40 ERA over the competition. But it's OPENING DAY, folks! Bring out the pomp and circumstance! Let's go, Dodgers!!!
For those of you new to Game Threads, here's the skinny. We started Game Threads after noticing that we Sons were emailing, IMing, and texting each other incessantly during the course of Dodger games, remarking on the game, the telecast, the vibe at the stadium, or anything in general; sometimes the conversation transcends what's going on in the game altogether. Rather than fill up our email inboxes, we went to Game Threads as the outlet. Treat the comment thread of these posts like the place you'd pull up a chair at the bar with a cold one close at hand, and comment away!

Healthy thread to start the year with.
Let's see how Broxton does with his first save appearance of the year.
Here we go Brox!
Michigan State down by 20 already. Sheesh.
100 MPH!
Patience is not one of the five tools. I guess that makes Kemp a six-tool player.
Broxton hitting 99 MPH!!!!
pitch 1: 99 mph
pitch 2: 100 mph
pitch 3: 99 mph
One out.
I am going off the TV radar.
Smoke! Dodgers win!
100 MPH fastball to close out the game!!!!!
Great game. Now... Tomorrow, let's get behind Randy. I'm sure he'll pitch a dandy. For the other eight, who are all great, the key will be to not swing and miss when the pitch is delivered by Chris.
I quite enjoyed my first game chat. Thanks SoSG! Here's to a 162-0 season!!
Brox with the save! And plenty of heat!
Dodgers 1-0 this season! In first place. Finally beat Peavy. GO BLUE!!! Working tomorrow so will miss the game.
Bravo, Natalie!

Uh, no you can't, Steve Lyons.
I like it! I am looking forward to about 95 more of those. Thanks for letting me hang out - see you again soon
Welcome to SoSG, Brim o' Fred.
Not a bad Game Thread. I'll keep the bar open for a couple more hours.
