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.

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?

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,

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.

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.

iiiii don't know what you're saying. but i am pissed "opening day" is a night game

 

 

LOL I'm with you. And to pile it on, it's a Friday!! But the wife loves the idea.

 

Oh well. This will be one of those very rare Fridays I am at the game.

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.
