Kershaw clearly was the most talented Dodgers pitcher entering last season, but then-manager Joe Torre didn’t hand him the ball on opening day. He wanted to minimize the pressure on his young lefthander.
But Kershaw posted a 2.91 ERA, 212 strikeouts and 132 ERA+ while eclipsing 30 starts and the 200-inning mark, both benchmarks for an ace.
This year, there was no doubt who would get the ball on opening day against the hated rival and defending World Series champion San Francisco Giants and their ace, Tim Lincecum. And Kershaw, 23, was marvelous, spinning seven shutout innings and striking out nine with one walk for the win.
Now of course there is David Price of the Tampa Bay Rays. So far no wins but rather difficult to gain a win when the offense have left their bats on the bus. But I have a feeling that when the smoke clears he will be near the top.

The Rays and Taxi's
The Rays are off to thier worst start in history. The first year in the league wasn't this bad. Ha even Carl Crawford isn't hitting. Boston even is losing, what with their HUGE payroll. Althrough they did win yesterday. Also what with the high price of gas United Cab is taking a beating, the drivers that is. The owners could care less, they are happy as long as they get their lease money. Let's hope tomorrow will bring a better day.

Baseball and Taxi's
Well folks, baseball is upon us. The Tampa Bay Rays are undefeated and gas prices are starting to drop. Also Obama is going to change his mind about running in 2012. Now that you have let that sink in or you may think "what the hell is that old fart talking about". Than I woke up and found it was only a dream. But as I have said before "keep the faith". Most of the people who are giving the Rays hell are the ones who are bandwagon fans. Not real fans. They only pull for the winners. The people who give taxi drivers hell never ride a cab anyway. Futher they don't have any idea what a cab driver goes through just to make a decent living. I no longer drive a cab but I am afraid that United Cab, even with their new set up for getting and giving calls is in deep do-do. Have a great day, be careful out there. UC157 Larry
