Opening day ‘08

What an eventful day. It was like seeing all my friends for the first time in 4 months. It was like waking from hibernation and saying “Hey, look, Magglio Ordonez has long hair again!” So many big-time trades happened this off season it seemed that every game I watched there was a “wow, weird” moment. Cabrera with the Tigers, Bedard with the Mariners, Sweeney with the A’s, Santana with the Mets- Those are just a few that pop into my head. Obviously there are many more.

Opening day, in my opinion, should be a national holiday. I know that many offices all over the country shut down and all the office personnel attend the game. I think that is a great idea, not just for the people but for the game. IM WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN!……No, not really. That is my solution for everything- funny thing is, I never do it. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed opening day as well. Only downfall is that Detroit lost in extra innings. It’s OK, 161 games left.
