Hi, I’m The Big Cheese and I’m a Brewer Fan…Brewer Fans Anonymous, we should start, like, a club!

What i didn’t like about opening over there, was that they played at a time where no one was really paying attention(or so it seemed). Then, the rest of the league went ahead and kept playing exhibition games for 3 days. WTF??  
Seems like it takes all the momentum away from the opening day. The only good thing about the whole thing is the Yankees lost.

Isn’t there a AAA team in Vegas?

My guess is the Expos end up in Portland, Oregon. I wouldn’t care if MLB had exhibition games in Japan. But, I’ll wait for the real opening day in the United States.
