Still on pace for 162-0!

The Indians are 2-0, so they're still undefeated, one-81st of the way through the season. Fausto Carmona was brilliant tonight, yielding but one run on four hits and four walks in seven innings of work. So that was good to see. You just never know with a young pitcher, whether he'll be as good from year to year. We may be seeing the next C.C. -- though of course, Fausto is not quite the same type of pitcher as C.C. For one thing, Fausto throws with his right hand. Whether he'll be as good in '08 as he was in '07, obviously, we don't know yet, and won't for quite a while. But this was encouraging.

Fausto had his sinker working, as only one fair ball was hit in the air against him -- a fly-ball out off the bat of Jim Thome.

In other news, it seems Victor Martinez isn't hurt quite as badly as we'd feared, which of course is good news. He should be back soon.
