flasportsfan88 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 So let me get this straight. The MLB is basically splitting opening day into two days. Six games on thursday and another 10 games on Friday. I'll let ONE night game the day before opening day slide, then the rest of the teams play in the next day. But this might have just ruined opening day for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flasportsfan88 Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Not a very complicated concept. 12 Teams open up on Thursday March the 31st, the rest start on April 1st, instead of all starting on the same day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dom2613 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 The last 2 years hasn't the previous years WS winner opened up on ESPN the night before opening day or 2 night before? Last year the Yanks opened up on ESPN vs Bos and the year before Philly opened vs Atl at night. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricWiener Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I've been pissed ever since they took the tradition away from Cincinnati. If the current owners have proven anything, it is that tradition is meaningless to them, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfan46 Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 I don't see what the big deal is. I don't care when it is, I just want to be there when JJ throws that first pitch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Love Me Some Fish Posted February 25, 2011 Share Posted February 25, 2011 Whether it be in the afternoon or at night, JJ will be making each Mets hitter wishing they were never born. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the current owners have proven anything, it is that tradition is meaningless to them, What tradition was that? Cincinnati was the first professional baseball team, up until the mid-to late1990's or so played the very first game of the year, then baseball saw an opportunity to make more money and sent teams overseas to open the season or would open with the previous years champs on ESPN.

I'm all for the continued globalization of sports and expanding baseball into other markets but I agree, opening day seems kind of like a poor time to do it.

Schnellders Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 I much prefer kicking off the season on a Monday afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDon Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 OH HAI I'm a very big fan of Opening Night (and I consider myself a traditionalist). Breaking up all the other games into 2 days will definitely feel weird but I'm willing to give it a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flasportsfan88 Posted February 27, 2011 Author Share Posted February 27, 2011 Aren't the opening games at 1:05PM on Friday? Detroit @ NYY and Atlanta @ Washington? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
