Opening Day

Today is a bitter sweet day. While it's opening day and I'm really excited that baseball is back, I also know that it's the last time opening day will occur at Yankees Stadium. Im sure the new stadium will be awesome next season, but there is just something so special and so magical about the current Yankees stadium. And if Base Ruth put a curse on the Red Sox for trading him, what will he do to the Yankees when they tear down "his" stadium? Yikes.

Last night, I was so hungry for baseball, that I actually tuned in and watched a little of the Nats game. Wow, a walk off home run by your franchise player, what a cool way to win your first game in a new stadium. Almost seems a little too perfect. The new Nationals stadium looks really nice. I just hope the local area fans support the team. Last year, there were a few games where only like 12,000 fans showed up. That's pretty sad. Im sure this season with all the buzz of the new stadium, that they will feel the majority of the seats. It's 3 or 4 years down the road that I see people losing interest. The Nats are in a tough division, so they have their work cut out for them.

I'll finish up by borrowing a David Letterman joke. "It's opening day, and out in Queens, the Mets have been mathematically eliminated".
