So I'm a little late, but the point still stands--
Happy MLB Opening Day, to all who celebrate!
We went out to join the rest of Cincinnati for the traditional
parade (over 100 years, after the 1919 World Series), though
enthusiasm for actually /watching/ the ailing Redlegs was quite a bit
bit more muted.

I'm an Angels fan and though I live in SoCal, I work in NorCal a
lot, so I went to the Opening Day game between the Angels and
A's, sitting right behind the visiting/Angels dugout. Shohei put
on quite the show (though the Angels still lost, 2-1), it was
still a good, crisp game. The new rules are definitely speeding
things up!
Happy MLB Opening Day to you too! I'm excited for the 2023
season! --

23 games in and I am no longer quite as excited for the 2023
season
But maybe the Mariners can pull off another miracle after they
get back up to .500?

My Red Sox are in the same boat. I'm not super optimistic they're gonna improve much on this.

Well, life has a way of surprising people!
One of my favorite things about baseball is that you really
never know what's coming
around the corner, even if you have a good guess. A slump or
streak could happen at
any time, and change everything.
Sounds like a fun day anyway! :-)
My wife is a Cubs fan - it's on my short list to ride the train North
and take her to Wrigley Field to a game one day...
'Tis true! Since I wrote the above, the Sox are currently on a 7-game winning streak and scoring a LOT of runs. Have moved from 5th to 3rd
place in the AL East. Haha... but... I know it can go the other way
too, and quickly. Looks like Tampa Bay is going to be hard to catch
this year. But, that's why we play 162 games. :-)

You absolutely should! The Cubs/Sox double feature is on my bucket list,
and you can't beat either stadium for what it does.
I gotta feel for the Cubs, though. The post-World Series teardown looks
painful to go through, even if I might never see it for myself.
It' s been awhile since I've been to a major league game. I have a cousin th at works at eh Four Winds Field in
South Bend (Cubs minor team) and used to drive up[ to Kalamazoo when they had a Frontier League team. Last Major
League game I went to was a Sox game at Comiskey a long time ago, when Bo Jackson played for the Sox. Price of
concessions was high back then, and I'd hate to see what a beer and a hot dog cost now. I think that's why I liked
minor league venues.
