With this great season, its fun to look back and see where we started in April.    Does anyone easily have their scorebook for the opening day lineup and anyone know the opening day active roster?

DeRosa was the mystery LF, per the link. 

Looking back, I'm shocked DeRosa went 0 - 4.  He was really swinging the bat well in spring training.

Yeah, his spring training was doubles-city.

desmond leading off, Espinosa second . . . thankfully, that got straightened out.

X-Nady 6th!  Ramos healthy?

and Bernie instead of Harper.

Thank goodness we started the year with hot pitching while the offense figured things out.

And Jimmy Rollins complained about not being "healthy"... Look at our team you clown.

We've had worse starting lineups haven't we? I mean that 2-4 isn't too bad. Guzman had his eyes repaired and Nick Johnson still got on base, but he wasn't the same as his early self. Flores was actually hitting then too. Belly was hitting somewhat decent. Kearns and Milledge were the worse out of the lineup.

Well, there is this gem from the last day of the 2009 season.

Maxwell - 8
Desmond - 6
Orr - 5
Dukes - 9
Morse - 3
Bard - 2
Gonzalez - 4
Padilla - 8
Martin - 1

Who the hell is Padilla?

Ugh. That's so ugly.

Jorge Padilla.

2009 was the year we saw 5 different starting catchers.

Well, there is this gem from the last day of the 2009 season.

Maxwell - 8
Desmond - 6
Orr - 5

Morse - 3

Who the hell is Padilla?

the 2008 final day Strasburg tank lineup was worse

I challenge you to find a worse lineup then this:

Felipe Lopez - 2B
Cristian Guzman - SS
Ryan Zimmerman - 3B
Ryan Church - LF
Austin Kearns - RF
Ronnie Belliard - 1B
Brian Schneider - C
Nook Logan - CF
Jason Simontacchi - P

Again, that's not completely terrible. We've had way worse lineups.

...and that was (28th September 2008 at Philadelphia, 8-3 loss):

1 Bonifacio 2B
2 Hernandez SS
3 Casto 1B
4 Langerhans RF
5 Gonzalez 3B
6 Bernadina CF
7 Montz C 
8 Orr LF
9 Perez P

This is just disgusting.

i love this thread

Look a post above you. How many of those guys are still in the  big leagues?

You're right, OC wins at this.  Jesus H. Flores - Pete Orr in LF?!?!?!?!?
