Carpenter and Halladay shine in debuts

Roy Halladay went 7 strong innings today, giving up 1 ER, and striking out 9. The Phillies went on to kill the Nationals 11 to 1. Halladay got my blood a boiling in the first inning after he gave up what would be his run. He simmered down and played like the player that I had envisioned.

Chris Carpenter went 6 innings and gave up 2 ER's. Both runs were off of homeruns. He gave up a total of seven homeruns last year so that is a bit concerning. He would strike out three but wouldn't allow a walk.

Overall it was a great day for my ace's. I paid big dollars for them during the draft. Something that I don't normally do on pitching. In the past, I usually go for three $20 pitchers but this year I wanted to the two best available pitchers. They would come at a steep price and that also meant that I wouldn't be nailing down a closer.
