WARNING!! Annual Off-Topic Baseball Thread. Esteemed Members BEWARE!!

OPENING DAY!!!

Schilling looks great, with a healthy ankle for the first time in 2 years. Sox rough up Millwood. Veritek drives in the first 2 runs of the season. And Ortiz hits one off the fair pole!

Yanks crush the A's, with help from ARod's grand salami.

Cardinals rang up 17 hits and 13 runs against the Phils and look like they have the NL Central wrapped up already; if they can hold off the Cubs, who pounded out 18 hits and scored 16 runs against Cincy.

The Mets and Nationals each had a World Series MVP as their Opening Day starter.

Mick's riding high with yet another Tigers' win on Opening Day.

DJ's riding low with yet another M's Opening Day loss.

Orioles hit 4 homers to beat up on the Devil Rays.

And there was a thriller in Colorado, as the Rockies scored in the bottom of the 11th to escape with a 3-2 win against Arizona. (This makes the Rockies the first team in 30 years to record "walk-off" Opening Day wins in consecutive seasons. The last team to do it was the Reds of the mid-70's.)

Almost any of these games was better than the FL/UCLA game last night. Hooray for baseball season!!!
