Opening day!
It may be 42 degrees and miserable as hell here in the Windy City, but there is no cloud layer so thick it can obscure the Turning Of The Seasons Yes, there was a game last night. And some in Tokyo last week. But as far as I'm concerned, a new season of The Great American Pasttime begins today! 163 games and everyone is tied for first.
It may not be the greatest year for Chicago's ballplayers. Unless Lou has figured out a way to clone Carlos Zambrano (or otherwise allow him to open 2/3rds of all their games), the Cubs still don't have enough quality starters to be competitive. And the White Sox....well, rebuilding can't last forever, can it?
Nonetheless, I'm going to be making an effort to see more games this season than last year. I'll try and post my intentions in advance for those so inclined.
