LOL Joey Votto. 

[Don Ho]

4th largest deal in MLB history.  $220mm for him, $5mm for his eyebrows.

maybe it was because i was a kid but god damn did opening day in baseball used to be like christmas.....it was one of the great sports days of the year...now what do we get?...depending on how you look at it either a game in japan btwn two unwatchable teams at three in the morning or this awful miami bullshtein

[Sgt PSN]

As much as I love baseball, and I'll watch dozens of non-Phillies games during the year to go along with the Phils games I take in, I never got excited for Opening Day in baseball other than the Phils Opening Day.  I'm excited by it and if I'm able to, I'll watch the first game of the year, but if the Phils aren't playing in it then I'm not rearraging my schedule to watch it.

Agreed. The only sport I get excited for opening day/game is football. After being without football for 6 or 7 months even a Thursday night opener between the Browns and the Jags would give me a mini erection. Baseball/Basketball/Hockey on the other hand I'll watch the first game but the excitement isn't the same unless it's one of my teams playing.

Agreed. I'd fake sick every opening day until my mom caught in and relented later in my school years knowing I was going to sit and watch opening day.

Even before all the nationally televised stuff I'd watch the Cubs and Braves and whatever ESPN feature game was on after we moved away.

Most vivid opening day memory was 1995 when John McSherry collapsed (and later died) on the field in Cincy

[QB Eagles]

Let's be honest, the real Opening Day is tomorrow. It's not about the one game. It's the awesome feeling of knowing there are a shteinload of games on and baseball is BACK...

[Don Ho]

That ballpark in Miami is a farging joke.  I didn't know what the hell I was looking at.  All that hype for that?

[Geowhizzer]

$500 million for Trashy Miami.

[ice grillin you]

other than the atrocity in center field it looks pretty damn cool to me

[BigEd76]

GET PUMPED





At least there was this too

[Sgt PSN]

That's nice and all, but if I want to see hoyda, I'll go to South Beach. 

Also, I'm setting the blond's age at 44.5.  You taking the over or under? 

[SD]

[Rome]

Stop stealing my lines, you.

[PhillyPhreak54]
