to all redblooded Americans who share my love for our great past time, may you crack a cold one, enjoy a hot dog and embrace the start of yet another summer long marathon
Happy Opening Day!

Rox have a real shot at 100+ losses this year
the single worst expansion franchise in major sports history. zero division titles.
opposing fans will continue to pack Coors & line Monfort's pockets while he employs his kids and maintains his rudderless course
sad
They do have some promising young players, but they’ll be lucky to see the field with Bud Black at the helm. Buddy would rather play his veteranny veterans in a quest for 4th place. Montero crushed the ball in Spring Training, but one bad week and he’ll be on the bench.
meanwhile Mike Moustakas is sure to see 400+ plate appearances
nothing against Moose, but stuff like this is exactly why they'll remain in eternal limbo
also - rule changes! my thoughts:
pitch clock: fine
bigger bases: whatever
ban on shifts: stupid
limited pick-offs: stupid
many pundits are predicting multiple 50+ stolen base guys this year, but it just won't be the same thing with pitchers/catchers being neutered by over regulation

Watching Wainwright sing the National Anthem. A little twangy, and I think I celebrated a birthday by the time he finished, but he did pretty well.My first opening day in person today. At lovely Busch stadium to watch my beloved cardinals.
I sing like a hinge, so I can't gripe too much.
Ken Griffey Jr last played for the Reds in 2008
Because of deferred money he would be the 4th highest player on the payroll if he were playing for them today
The Cincinnati Reds are paying Ken Griffey Jr more money than all but 3 players on their current roster
I like how Denver kicked out all the homeless camps round Coors stadium to spruce the place up for their opebing day...angering all the idiots in the process. Win win.

Gross. But I hope you have a great time! There’s a good Cajun place a few blocks from thereMy first opening day in person today. At lovely Busch stadium to watch my beloved cardinals.
Cards take a one run lead into the 8th and promptly blow it. Then claw back a one run lead going into the 9th and the bullpen ***** the bed again. Same way they got bounced from the playoffs last yearMy first opening day in person today. At lovely Busch stadium to watch my beloved cardinals.
I don't know - is this communist music? I do like soccer so maybe that's enough.
