Yeah, opening day!

Despite a previously scheduled off-day on Friday, the Nats and Mets will not make up their postponed opening day game tomorrow.
They may not play at all this weekend, multiple Nationals players have tested positive for COVID (1 is symptomatic at the moment)...the entire team is self-quarantining.
9th inning Opening Day....it's snowing outside my northern Cincinnati home.
Can we get post game shows like this?

I notice that ex-Red Kevin Gausman is the Giants Opening Day starter and he's shut out the Mariners through 5 innings. I never saw #1 starter in this guy but I'm happy for him

ehh, pretty much the same as an internet tough guy....talking sh*t to someone when there is no threat of consequence (like losing teeth and getting his azz beat). Maybe it is just me, but I kinda liked the romantic days of guys talking sh*t when they knew they better have the azz to back it up. Trust me, there were many times when I knew to keep my mouth shut because I did not want to take a chance on a bad outcome.

I'll never understand why MLB insists on having an "OFF" day the day after Opening Day.

Wanna feel old? By the end of the season Mike Trout will almost be exactly as old as Griffey Jr when he was traded to the Reds in Feb. 2000 (it's within a month).
