Perhaps worst OPENING DAY in 40 years or more

**cant call it** · 03-31-11, 12:53 PM

tons of more action tomorrow

**CanuckG** · 03-31-11, 12:54 PM

3 innings in both games give it time

**underthe total** · 03-31-11, 12:58 PM

omg this year they are giving us the entire weekend, you got to be more positve than that. they have always started on sunday with 1 or 2 games then rest on monday when the public is working, this is much better

and fish you know tomorrow has the biggest board.

**Rod1010** · 03-31-11, 01:02 PM

its baseball . When was it ever exciting?

**HotStreak** · 03-31-11, 01:02 PM

go groom your chic pea plant

**Smoke** · 03-31-11, 01:03 PM

I'd be more worried bout them tornados if I were you fisher

**JW Cash** · 03-31-11, 01:03 PM

Baseball in cold weather is another animal...

**EaglesPhan36** · 03-31-11, 01:04 PM

I like it better when it starts on Monday, I'm a traditionalist - but they fukk up about every sport for TV eventually.

**MartinBlank** · 03-31-11, 01:06 PM

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.

**underthe total** · 03-31-11, 01:07 PM

tradition is for OLD people and old people generally suck

**ebbearsfb1** · 03-31-11, 01:08 PM

Doesn't make sense play today then these teams r off tomorrow... y not just have it be opening day for everyone, on one actually day, start Friday or monday

**sparkyasu** · 03-31-11, 01:09 PM

thats cause it isnt opening day for most of the league

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

Eh, just looking for attention.

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

Give him a break,he has a tornado knocking on his backdoor but still has the intestinal fortitude to keep posting useless drivel.

When was the 1st game of a 162 game season ever exciting? I would like to know please in which year.

**stealthyburrito** · 03-31-11, 03:40 PM

baseball's a marathon not a sprint, they'll be good moments throughout the season.

**nosniboR11** · 03-31-11, 03:41 PM

a day when I am winning is exciting to me

hehe

yankees and braves and over on mil , exciting day

**crustyme** · 03-31-11, 03:42 PM

too bad the tornado didnt take down the electrical wires

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.

**crustyme** · 03-31-11, 04:25 PM

walkoff hr by reds.... and this guy says its boring.

you said it brother. Baseball=boring. Same thing as soccer=boring

**MexicanStallion** · 03-31-11, 04:50 PM

How about that Walk-Off?

**CanuckG** · 03-31-11, 04:51 PM

baseball might not be as exciting as NHL or NFL but it's so profitable

**nyed1010** · 03-31-11, 04:53 PM

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

**Wreckloose** · 03-31-11, 04:54 PM

I haven't watched any but looking at 4-0 if the Angels hold on.

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.

**romecloneout** · 03-31-11, 05:16 PM

fish go get back on wil's nuts...nothing here for you

**crustyme** · 03-31-11, 05:52 PM

another blown save by franklin.

**sparkyasu** · 03-31-11, 05:58 PM

forreall I got STL ML, I should already be cashin

this wouldnt happen with carlos marmol

**Muscles** · 03-31-11, 06:01 PM

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.

You are a fool. I guess 40 minutes into the season it is boring. I guess 5 or so years back when opening day was a single Sunday night baseball game between Balt and Boston was more exciting.

**jjgold** · 03-31-11, 08:22 PM

Baseball is all washed up

The only people that watch are the old timers and fukkin drunks
