Play Ball

Spring has finally commenced with the beginning of the baseball season yesterday. Several teams had opening day festivities. The Red Sox and A's got a head start on everybody else by starting their season in Japan. Anybody else find it odd that the American Pastime should begin its season not in America but on the far side of the world?

A couple teams did not begin play yesterday. The New York Yankees and Toronto Blue Jays were rained out. As a life-long (meaning, as far back as I can remember) fan of the Yankees, I have been eagerly anticipating this season. With a new manager and some new players brought up through the farm system, I'm hopeful that the Bronx Bombers can make their final season in Yankee Stadium a World Series winning one.

Here's to 27 in 2008! Bring order back to the Empire. Every Red Sock and member of RSN (Red Sox Nation) is an enemy of the Republic. Hunt them down. Kill them all. Show no mercy. The Empire WILL strike back!
