Let’s Play Fourteen

Fourteen games are on tap for Opening Day 2008. Sure, the Red Sox and A’s played some games in Japan, but nobody on this side of the pond watched, and the Nationals opened their new ballpark in the made-for-ESPN Sunday night game, but today is when the season really begins.
Ordinarily in this space I would tell you which games are most worth watching, but on Opening Day, they’re all worth watching. The first games (Blue Jays at Yankees, Royals at Tigers) start at 10:05 a.m. PT, while the last (Astros at Padres; of course, I’ll be there!) gets going at 7:05 p.m. PT.
I can’t begin to tell you how glad I am that baseball is back. Enjoy the games!
This is the first time in a couple years that I haven’t had to be at work on Opening Day. Therefore to celebrate this year – I will park my large white arse in front of the TV and take it all in.
