And Now...The Moment we've all Been Waiting for!!!

Opening Day!
Granted, the Braves and the defending Champion Phillies played last night, with the Braves downing the Phillies 4-1. But for the Houston Astros and me...Baseball starts tonight. Cubs at Astros, Zambrano vs. Oswalt, Jeremy against Robert. It is all here...the makings of a good season, with only twenty-nine teams standing between that good season and another so-so season. We have 162 games to go before the eight best* teams face off for a chance to be called "World Chamions". Stay tuned for the outcome...and get off the edge of your seat, its bad for the chair.

Kenneth Hunter Burk said...: Look who won their opening game, the Texas Rangers 9-1, who'd thought that. Unfortunatley they still have 161 games left.

Robert L. said...: Meiner family, Welcome to the Pitcher of Record. Thanks for commenting. I have been rather short on baseball fans commenting on my blog. As for Pudge, I know that he has been a fan favorite for a lot of teams. Ask Ken (see comment below yours) He is a Texas Rangers fan, and like Pudge a lot. Then Marlins have some great memories of him as well. Like the 2003 NLDS against the Giants. The game ending play at the plate...But now I am going on and on about baseball again...Thank you for commenting. And good luck to your Tigers.

I tend to not get too excited about baseball season til the All-Star break or so. The season is just too long, and individual games are just not that important anymore. I am a much bigger football and NCAA Tournament fan.; April 7, 2009 at 9:10 AM
Robert L. said...: Oh, Never mind...I should have known...Cubs fans are like that. Oh well...What can you expect, after losing for 101 years, I guess a fan might get board of a team like that.

Big-Dog said...: I think the major flaw with baseball is that usually it is pretty boring.; April 8, 2009 at 6:27 AM
Robert L. said...: Boring for some maybe...But if you know the game and understand what is going one...there is a whole new excitement.

The play list.

1."Baseball Song." Do I need to explain?
2."Beer for My Horses." It was made my theme song by my sister, thus I had to put it on.
3. "Mr. Policeman" Great tune, funny song, why not? It is on.
4. "MLB on Fox" Baseball. That is all the season I need to have this song up.
5. "Football Fox Sports" A Football tune that has a lot of memories for a lot of people.
6."Baseball Tonight" It is the song that comes on right before the Astros game starts on ESPN radio. I cannot count how many times I have been waiting for that song to start, while listening to the radio.
7. "In Color" My grandfather flew as a tail gunner during WWII. In this song the grandfather tells his grandson about his friend in the war who is a tail gunner. I thought I might as well put it on the playlist in honor of my grandfather.
