Yu Is Kind, Yu Is Smart, Yu Is Important

 The first two games of the season have been wild adrenalin pumping, and completely surprising.
 First of all, let me say, the Houston Astros are my second favorite team. They have had a tough couple of years and it would be nice to see them do well, just not against the Rangers.
 Being their home opener and first game in the American League, I suppose it was good for them to win.

 But last night, even though the Rangers won, it was an exciting, nail biting and huge disappointment for Yu Darvish fans. Yu, himself, didn't seem to understand what was going on until late in the seventh, but he was one strike away from pitching a perfect game. It was heartbreaking.

 Don't give up on Darvish, yet. I have a feeling he will get his perfect game before the season is over. At any rate, starting out the year, breaking records and having long winning streaks, didn't help Texas much in 2012. Maybe saving some of that energy for later in the season will help.

 If I could send him a little encouragement, I'd like to say, Yu is kind, Yu is smart, and Yu is very important to our team.
