Alright! The best day of the year is here. Cardinals Opening Day. Had to take off work this afternoon to spend it at the ballpark. This is better than Christmas. 5 hours till the first pitch!

The Red Sox are in Tampa Bay, so I don't get to see them for a few days. Thank god though, it was snowing this morning. It'd be a cold game today if they were playing at home!

Are you going to the opening game at Fenway?

I'm not really looking forward to this season as a Friar fan. We've already lost Trevor HOffman and coutless others to injury, we're still a year or two away from the new ball park, and it seems the team has already thrown in the towel.

BUt, as a SPORTS fan and a BASEBALL fan, I'm excited as hell. Last season was GREAT, and capped off with a socal title. WHo knows what's in store in 2003.

I wish. I meant in general. I'll probably try to get tickets to one of the first couple of games. But not opening day. When they went on sale I didn't know I'd be living in Boston now.

When did you move here?

March 8th, but I went on vacation right after that so I'm still not settled in. Haven't found a job yet either, but I haven't even started looking really

It's fun to watch the Sox play Tampa Bay because they almost always win, but it's just not as fun as when the beat the Yankees. Of course, winning opening day sets a good tone for the beginning of the season. I really hope they do well this year, we haven't been to the World Series in a long time....

I love Boston when baseball season is starting...the area around Fenway is awesome on game day, even if you don't have tickets.

However....born a Yankee fan, always a Yankee fan, even if I've lived down the road from Fenway all of college (and for the next year at least).

I have always been and always will be a Baltimore Orioles fan (I can hear the boos now, LOL). Anyway, I am sitting here watching the opening day game and it is snowing. Right now they are in SNOW DELAY. How crazy is that? We had snow in Baltimore, MD yesterday and there is more today. This weather is too crazy.

There is nothing like going to Fenway when the Red Sox are playing the Yankees. It's so much fun, well any game at Fenway is a lot of fun! I'm still working on getting tickets for when the Yankees come in to town. Plus now that I live in the city, and not in the suburbs anymore, like I did when I was in high school, going to games is going to be that much better!

Good luck with the job search! I lucked out when I got mine in October, and am still so relieved that I got something.

And I definately agree with you on hoping they do well and make it to the World Series this year!
