My Royals jersey is dusted off and awaiting being worn on Monday…
They may be losers, but this year, hopefully, they’ll be _entertaining_ losers. Go Royals!

Am I the only person that thinks it’s kind of un-traditional to play the first official game of the season in Japan???

Go Mariners…woohooo, even without Ken Griffey they will clearly win the AL West. An even better thing is the first full year in the new 1/2 a Beeelllion dollar stadium and no Kingdome to block the view of all of downtown Seattle

It’s kinda weird (not to mention gimmicky) to have the first games of the season played in Japan, but, hey. Glad that my beloved Mets at least split the series (with an 11th inning grand salami, no less!) It’s gonna be a good season.
A great thing happened this morning. I stopped at a 7-Eleven to get my coffee (reluctantly leaving my vehicle’s radio). But they were broadcasting the game over the store’s radio, so I didn’t miss much. But when I finished paying for my stuff, the guy behind the counter (who was wearing a Cubs hat) said to no one in particular, “This is how life should be. Baseball in the morning. Baseball and breakfast.” Amen. It doesn’t get any better than that.
Play Ball!!!
