    Fish, can you elaborate on the opening day of 1989, and tell us why this is worse? Or how about the opening day of 2001?

    Or how about the snow outs in 2007?

    Oh, I get it now. You were trying to be dramatic.

    Yes, I would also like to hear how this is worse.

    Oh, I get it now. You were trying to be dramatic.
    Eh, just looking for attention.

    That's the reason for the ALL CAPS and 10 threads a day.

    last year for white sox fans. The play of the year in mlb happened. I agree with your premise though


    Why does MLB promote this as opening Day if most of the teams are not playing? What kind of advantage is their to not having 2/3 of the league open on day 1? There is less national TV games with this setup too.

    baseball = boring. The only time baseball is just a little less boring is big rivalry games and the playoffs.

    Like I just told my wife, 'know what it means if you lose the first game of the season?'
    "Nothing"

    Not like football where one loss is make or break.

    Only sport where the best 'teams' go to the playoffs.

    I agree the way baseball determines the best teams is similar to soccer. To win the division and make the playoffs you have to win a lot of games and likewise in soccer you have to win a lot of games to become the champion in your league. In football and basketball you can have a below .500 team competing for a title.

    I am struggling big time in my fantasy league. Team started 1/21 so far. At least the guy I am playing has Axford otherwise it'd be a complete debacle.
