Countdown to Opening Day

[sspadowsky]

Cards were off to a good start. Rockies pitcher Jeff Francis (in the words of Crash Davis) "couldn't hit water if he fell out of a fuckin' boat." Ankiel doubled in two, and Pujols hit his first home run, but they might not count- it's raining like hell here, and the game has been delayed for almost two hours now.

By the way, WhiteRat, I was surprised that the Twins are building an outdoor stadium. Don't they know it's fucking cold up there?

Todays' weather is a bit extreme but normally around this time the weather is in the high 40's or low 50's. By the end of April the temp hits the 60's and sometimes the 70's, so it's really not that cold. Don't listen to the idiots on ESPN, they make it sound like it's sub-zero year round.

Phillies start the season in traditional fashion - with a blowout loss.

Eh, they're only one and a half games out of first place, right?

Anyone else think it's fitting to start a new baseball thread now that countdown to Opening Day has ended? At the very least maybe change the title of the thread?
