Baseball Is Back, 2009

Today was -- is -- Opening Day. Sure, the season formally opened with the ESPN Sunday night game, and it was a good (and speedy) game, but Opening Day is a much more evocative term.

Today was Opening Day!

Baseball Is Back!

Springtime weather canceled two games, including the Red Sox-Rays match, but this is no matter. Baseball builds in extra off days near the start of the season just to accommodate such events. I watched some of the Mets-Reds game, and parts of the Yankees-Indians game. The teams matter little to me, today of all days -- I'm just glad the men are back on the diamonds. And I got to watch and listen and savor.

Of course, my fantasy team did awful, but that's to be expected.
