Season starts off with a thump… It’s a Royal Meche…

It’s a marathon, not a sprint. That’s the mantra this time of year – especially when your team stumbles out of the gate. Do you remember how your team performed last opening day or the ones before? Does it matter now or then? Nope.

So for all of you Yanks fans showering us with email about your beating of the mighty Rays, thanks. Take advantage of your fortunes while the skillet is hot. It’s starting to cool off already. We won’t even mention the 3 Yanks errors from yesterday. Whoops!

While Schill looked awful at times with his flat fastball, Pavano certainly didn’t make a case for himself. Schill has faced adversity and has overcome it. Pavano hasn’t even been able to just stay on the field since his arrival. Who’s going to have a better record & stats at year end? Is there really an argument over who you would pick in a heartbeat? Puhleease…

Regardless, it’s finally baseball season. Another 161 regular season games to go. So many possibilities, rising stars, surprising teams, and great stories to come. It’s all just starting to unfold. Even the KC’s, Rays, and all of the NL feel like they have a chance right now - however remote.

And yes, the ribbing has already begun… Enjoy the season folks!

Only 18 days and counting until the first square off…
