It's my favorite day of the year!

It's Opening Day of the MLB season!

YAY!

VAMOS GIGANTES!


“It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come out, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone.”- Bartlett Giamatti.

Go Sox!

Jigga what??

Sorry, I only like to watch entertaining sports.

Initially, I was hoping you meant April 2nd, simply because it's the first day after April fools day. Baseball is about as much fun to watch as moss growing.

Play Ball, Bitches.

My Grandfather had the original family box seats when the Giants moved to SF, Seals Stadium at the time. When they moved to Candlestick he had 6 box seats 2 rows above the visitors dugout. He passed them to my Dad who passed them to me. Gave them up when I left the Bay Area after the '89 quake/World Series loss to the A's. Go Giants
If you think Baseball is boring it's because you don't understand the game. Their is a chess like meaning to every move of the fielders and the location of every pitch. I coached both fast and slow pitch softball for 10 years till it burned me out.

We're still in the pennant race!!!! w00t!!!




I love this day.

Fascinating. Thanks for sharing.

Uh huh.

Baseball is boring?

Better recognize, hoes.

I'm sure all 75 people left at Dodger stadium for the final out were elated.

How did you Photoshop that "dodgers win" sign?

I work 4 blocks from Pac Bell (AT&T?) park (y'know, where the SF Giants play) and seeing that stadium all lit up for this first time this year kinda made me a little teary eyed last week... can't wait!

Crazy Americans.

*goes back to watching speed skating*

I recognize the Dodgers, I have to, 1/3rd of the team is ex Sox players. We call them Fenway West around here.


Edit to say:
though I know it's unlikely, I still get giddy when I hear that Clemens is talking to Theo Epstein today at the Rangers park...

Baseball is slightly more entertaining than watching a live poker tournament.

Yeah, I went there.

And japanese, koreans, dominicans, venezuelans, mexicans, and assorted others (even nederlanders!)

Um... marry me?
