7 Cy Youngs + 7 Opening Day starts = 7.7 ERA

"Johan Santana, Cliff Lee, Brandon Webb, CC Sabathia, Roy Halladay, Jake Peavy and Tim Lincecum. The seven former Cy Young Award winners combined to go 2-3 with a 7.75 earned run average in their Opening Day starts." Thanks to American Chronicle ... which also reports this tidbit:
Brewers reliever Todd Coffey will make $800,002. "I just wanted an even number, other than zero. I've always done it that way," he explained.
Prince Fielder should definitely add a couple dollars to his salary for that impressive fielder's choice throw to home that saved Dave Bush an earnie; Bush owes him a steak, at least.
