Christian is a good player, it's just he's little... mysterious. And unfocused. And he can't speak English.

After the game, Yuu, Wen, Yousuke, and Christian met up in the clubhouse. The guys congratulated Christian on his first MLB hit being a homer. After that, they all went for Chinese takeout.

Nice job.

Especially for Christian. I was considering something more elaborate for a congratulations, but I just stuck with what I did. Also, A.D. = 3 homers!

Good for him. How's my pitcher?

Valenzuela had a rough game on Opening Day. Gave up 8 in 4 innings.

Ugh. Your kidding, right?

Sadly, no. I expected him to do better. Apparently, my starters are doing horrible, but my relievers pitch shutout and get the wins/saves.

They'll do horrible because if top speed. If you have a low top speed in 07 you get railed.

Yeah, but the two relievers who have both our wins only throw 80.

Ugh, how about Hank, what's going with him?

He's just working right now. Don't worry, I'll incorporate him in later.

Ok. But one question. How did the dude get Hank's phone #?
