PLAY BALL!!!!

Whether a fan of a particular team or just an American citizen, you gotta like Baseball's Opening Day. The salaries are ridiculous and 95% of the players are not even American citizens but it is one of the few things that can make a grown man feel like a little boy. Cold Beer, peanuts, hot dogs, the green grass, the crack of a well hit ball....S'all good.

plus...the Royals are not looking too bad. Maybe not this year, but the next 3-5 years show promise.

LOVE opening day!

Baseball been berry berry good to me. I'd encourage all of y'all at least once in your life to take off from work on Opening Day (that's for the 11 CBid'rs who work). Get a ticket. Go. Buy a beer and a hot dog. Savor the timeless ritual. Light up a good cigar in the 4th inning...

Get kicked out of the stadium, etc.

Went to a ball game at Petco. Very nice park. Not a bad seat in the house, but I was SO damn bored by the 5th inning I had to leave.

I'll root for the Red Sawx until I die, but good grief how boring can you get? Never waste my money going to a game again. Same goes for football. Went to 2 games. More enjoyable and easier to follow from the couch, IMO.

Plus... screw them greedy bassards. [ram27bat]

🇨🇮 🇨🇮 🇨🇮 Today is the opening day for the CUBS, so once again is it to early to say there's always next year. [sarcasm]

Just joking, the CUBS in the world series and a championship ring when it's all said and done with. 🇨🇮 🇨🇮 🇨🇮
