Is it football season yet?

Wow, what a mediocre Opening Day. Last night set a nice precedent with a well-pitched game in a gorgeous new stadium with the Nats' frachise player for the next 10 years, Ryan Zimmerman, hitting the walk-off HR in the bottom of the ninth. Good storyline, good baseball game. The President even made a funny joke on national TV about being full of hot air.

Today, not so much. Seemed like half of the day's games got postponed or delayed because of national rainstorms (all thanks to the terrorists and their diabolical weather machine). The only saving grace with the weather is that Jeff Francis and his awful outing got erased from my fantasy score due to the game getting called. I had to work and didn't get to watch the Reds get gunned down by Brandon Webb & Co. 3 hits and 10 Ks? Won't be getting to 87 wins if the offense stays that quiet for long stretches. It looked like the team had a nice tribute to Nuxie though.


I tried to rush home to catch at least the last inning, but the game ended right as I booted up the computer. And now it looks like mlb.tv has fucked me over by not working at all. I haven't been able to watch anything other than a few glitchy snatches of innings from a few different games. I did get to see Kerry Wood cough it up in the ninth, but missed Gag-me doing the same minutes later. Hopefully this was a harbinger of things to come for both teams. How funny would it be if the Reds end up having the stablest bullpen in the division this season?

Trying to watch the Braves game now, but still no feed coming to my computer. I upgraded to the better package this year. Hopefully that's not going to be a waste of $120. Bad day for baseball.

. . . the Georgia spring game is this weekend.
