It's Baseball's Opening Day!!!

Or as my wife calls it, Ugh.

May all your pitches clip the corner of the plate and may all your grounders find a hole through the infield.

Who do you root for (and against)

For: Marlins
Against: the rest of the NL East and the Yankees.

lifelong fan (since 1962)....however, favorite player of all time Willie Mays!....my dad and I we bummed went they went to the west coast. He took me to several games at the Polo grounds and Ebbetts field. We took a train one time from Long Island to Philadelphia to see the giants play on a Sunday. It was a doubleheader. The second game ended at 7pm (blue laws in PA) and was finished the next day. Wonderful memories. Oh, and....hate the Yankees!

I'm a Rangers fan. I'm pretty sure this year is going to be a bust, but I still enjoy going the games and watching them on TV.

Opening Day was an hour and 45 minutes late getting started due to rain in KC but they're playing now.

I don't root against any other team except that I get really PO'ed that Fox Sports treats my Royals poorly when it comes to broadcasting games. It's all about the Cardinals here (SW MO) even though we're about 50 miles closer to KC.
