Despite being awoken at 4:45 by my two year old and then spending time cleaning up puke, today is a good day, because it’s opening day.

To celebrate, I brought two dozen donuts into the office (half jelly, half glazed).

Can’t wait to get home and watch the DVR’ed Rockies game while everyone else is wasting time on that NCAA game.

“The one constant through all the years, Ray, has been baseball. America is ruled by it like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past, Ray. It reminds us of all that once was good, and that could be again. Oh, people will come, Ray. People will come most definitely come.”

My computer crashed, can someone take over the CPL until I’m up and running again? Thanks in advance!

I realize lots of people on this site think this rivalry is way over-hyped, but I love it. Girardi having Gardner steal home was awesome after Ellsbury’s steal against them last year. Not quite as ballsy as Ellsbury’s straight steal, but still…opening night, national audience, at Fenway, in your face.

’Course, they lost the game. Oops.

still hit the ball hard

Good sign, but I want to see him against lefties before I declare a breakout year.
