Opening Day Open Thread

I hate the rain.

At least we have some good non-Rays pitchers going today; Johan, Webb, Felix v. Liriano(!), Peavy v. Kuroda(!). Even better, we don't get teased by one game today then an immediate off day tomorrow.

Oh, and this should help you get over any residual anger:

This is the first time a Rays opener has been postponed, and comes after the Rays had asked MLB to open the season at home.

Red Sox nation must be full of a bunch of brain-dead oafs
“After consulting with our weather service and other professional meteorologists, it became apparent it would be extremely unlikley, if not impossible, that we would get a complete game in todat so the decision was made to postpone until Tuesday,’’ Sox president/CEO Larry Lucchino said in a statement. “Our fans look forward to this unofficial Red Sox Nation holiday each year, and we want to make sure that they are able to enjoy the full experience including both the special pre-game ceremonies and a full nine innings of play. We reserved an alternate rain date for tomorrow for just such adverse circumstances as present themselves today.

Just because that 3rd sentence is proper English, that doesn’t make it right.

It WAY too much sense to begin the season in a dome

So Bud Selig doesn’t want to postpone a World Series game because of weather, and he doesn’t want the Rays to have a home series to start off the season. Yet another example of how the Rays are the MOST disrespected defending AL Champions in history.

I mean you’re either with us or you’re with the earthquakes. We need to smoke them out of their crusts and shock and awe them off the planet.
