Rained Out!

Opening Day 2008. Some good baseball being played today. First, the Nationals won their home opener yesterday (Sunday) with a Ryan Zimmerman walk-off home run in the bottom of the ninth, with two outs and a 2-2 ball game. It was a good game. And as much as I dislike the current President of the United States, I thought he was doing a good job as a baseball fan. It took a bit, but he called Chipper Jones' home run like a pro.

Today, the Blue Jays and the Yankees were rained out in New York. Kansas City beat Detroit in eleven and the Mets won. The Orioles and the (do not call them Devil) Rays are just getting started. The Nationals also won the opener in Philadelphia 11-6 so all is pretty good in the world.

Barry Bonds is not playing baseball (do not expect me to feel sorry for him) and there are a whole bunch of new names to learn as the 2008 season gets under way.

Now, why is today not a national holiday? Go Jays, Go Nats!
