  • OPENING DAY I can't Believe is only a few hours away

    Well ladies and gentlemen, even though the first Regular Season game in America isnt until next Wednesday with opening night in South Florida, today is the start of the regular season as the Oakland A's take on the Mariners in the Tokyo Dome! My question is are you ready for some baseball and what do you think will happen this season.

    I don't understand the need to open the season at the Tokyo Dome. The Japanese League doesn't open at Dodger Stadium.

      Not a big fan of Opening Day abroad. First game should always be in Cincinnati.

        Why are we starting the season abroad that makes little sence.

          I now have my own non commercial blog about training for batspeed and power using my training experience in baseball and track and field.

            Why not just be happy that baseball has begun again?

              Silly Edgar: if baseball season isn't opened "right", it's just a horrible, horrible thing!

                Mariners won in extra innings. Ichiro went 4-5.

                It was playing on the radio on the way to work this morning, was interesting listening to the different sounds of a Japanese crowd. They sure cheered Ichiro's last hit, that's for sure. No suprise here, sounded like a baseball savvy crowd, making appropriate noises and whatnot. Didn't get to hear any organized songs or chants though darnit. Guess those are made for the home teams.

                  I have MLB.TV Premium but could not watch the game.
                  Is there some kind of different licensing agreement that MLB.TV can't show the game?

                      Playing games abroad is fine, but the games shouldn't count. Just play a couple spring training games at the end of March.

                          I'd rather see it open at a Major League stadium than in Tokyo.

                            Unless it's happening in my local team's stadium, why should I care? Cincinnati may as well be Tokyo as far as I'm concerned.
                            My top 10 players:

                            1. Babe Ruth
                            2. Barry Bonds
                            3. Ty Cobb
                            4. Ted Williams
                            5. Willie Mays
                            6. Alex Rodriguez
                            7. Hank Aaron
                            8. Honus Wagner
                            9. Lou Gehrig
                            10. Mickey Mantle

                              The Cincinnati thing is overplayed. It's based on a false premise.
