The Tigers head up to Toronto ce soir luckily avoiding another snowout. They'll be starting Justin "Sporadic Feast" Verlander against The Incredible Doc Halladay. Gerald Laird, Josh Anderson and Adam Everett all make their Tiger debuts. Carlos Guillen has moved from SS, to 1B and now to DH. Next season he'll be the hitting coach.
For Toronto, 21 year old Travis Snider makes his first Opening Day start, sending legions of insane Blue Jays bloggers to the official team store. The Mayor of Detroit CAN KISS ALL THEIR ASSES.

Frank Robinson is in the Reds radio booth. I can actually hear John Fay's Lee jeans swishing in the background.
