bet your bottom dollar

i am really looking forward to tomorrow. one day closer to the weekend, sure, but it's also going to be the season debut of clayton kershaw.

the future hall of famer is back from his offseason shoulder surgery and subsequent rehab and will be on the bump against the giants. my expectations are tempered, but i am hoping that he doesn't suffer any setbacks and is able to pitch for the remainder of the season on a regular basis.

kershaw is just 56 strikeouts away from 3,000 and if he stays healthy over the next 10 weeks, he has a real shot at achieving the milestone this season. of course, that depends on his stuff. anyway, here are 17 kershaw cards to share in honor of his 17th season kicking off tomorrow.

  1. I'm genuinely saddened Zach Greinke never signed with anyone. It would have been nice to have both guys reach that mark this year. With the way pitching staffs are used nowadays, they may be the last 3,000 K guys for a long while...

  2. I didn't realize he was coming back today. That's awesome. Hope he stays healthy. Kershaw has been one of my favorite players outside of the A's and Padres organizations. He has had such an amazing career. Hope he gets 3k this season.
