Well, it's late/early and I'm tired, so this will be short and sweet...
Dontrelle had a great start for his 2005 debut tonight. A complete game shutout is always a good thing. That he walked only one was even better. Getting two hits and knocking in two runs was icing on the cake (they even brought in a reliever to face him in the 9th).
It was also like old times at Dolphins Stadium tonight. Well, old times if you can have that sort of thing at a newly re-named ball park and when the old times are led by a 23-year old (Willis) and 21-year old (Cabrera). It sure felt like 2003 again tonight.
Cabrera hit two home runs. His second, hit in the 8th inning, was the farthest I've ever seen a ball hit live at Dolphins/Pro Player/Joe Robbie Stadium. Andres Galarraga hit a ball into the upper deck a few years back - he was with the Rockies and they still had that covering over the seats back then. Cabrera's shot wasn't pulled as much, so it might have gone farther. It went a few rows above the Joe Robbie marker on the Dolphins Ring of Honor... can't wait to see a replay of that.
Well, I'm off to bed. More tomorrow (later today)...
