Hey, It’s Opening Day … Oh look, a squirrel!
Well, it’s technically not opening day since games started last night, but that’s what they’re calling it. Yeah, I know. I don’t really care either.
But all across the nation, baseball fans are taking the day off from work and heading out to the ball park. Mainly as an excuse to sit around in comfy new corporate stadiums and get drunk on $9 beers in the sunshine for 3+ hours. They’ll take in the majesty of “America’s Game”, keep score, and dig in to the 162 game marathon session that is the MLB season.
Usually the most interesting part of a day at the ball game
This is an NFL Blog, so don’t expect to see much (if any) baseball news around these parts. But Asylum.com has a poll going to see if people are actually paying attention to the start of baseball season:
For die-hard baseball fans, it meant the start of spring and the return of the sacred American pastime. But for many baseball haters, it marked the start of seven months of three- to four-hour exhibitions of tediousness, choking nightly SportsCenter broadcasts and intensifying football withdrawal.
Put me down in the “wake me in August” category. But right now it’s neck-and-neck in the poll. Apparently there are still a lot of baseball fans out there. Who knew?
Anyway, there’s still one more night of college hoops, then the NFL draft in 3 weeks, followed by the NFL spring meetings in Ft. Lauderdale just 3 short weeks later! Now we’re talking!
