Geovany Soto will get his shoulder examined in Chicago on the Cubs day off today.  Last year’s ROY missed the game last night.  [Tribune]

The San Francisco Giants have kicked off quite the ad campaign.  Haha, balls. [Deadspin]

The White Sox only managed three hits last night as they got shut out by the Royals.  Zack Greinke looked real good with seven Ks; I even thought I saw him smile.  [ESPN]

The bats showed up for the Cubs last night as they blasted 16 hits.  Kosuke even had four hits, which I think is more than his second half total from last year.  They won 11-6.  [MLB.com]

The Braves were up 10-3 on the Phillies in the 7th last night.  Then the Phils had an eight-run inning, four of which were walked in, to go on to win 12-11.  [ESPN]

An Angels fan died after getting into a fight at the ballpark on opening day.  I know we’ve all seen our share of fights at the park, just be careful out there and remember a well placed insult is always preferred to physical violence.  [FanHouse]

Here’s a yes vote for the Bears to get Plaxico.  Insert joke about shooting Bears in the thigh here.  [Zoner]

As Jim Nantz told you many times in the last few weeks, the Masters starts today.  It’s actually on ESPN today, starting at 3PM I believe.  Here are five players to watch.  [Devil Ball Golf]
