People, tomorrow is Opening Day of the Major League Baseball Season!*
Do you feel ready for that? [Of course, we have been ready since November 1st for the new season to begin.]
Do you know which team will win it all? [The Chicago Cubs, of course.]
Have you made plans as to which games you will see? [What are you waiting for?]
*While it is just like the St. Louis Cardinals to try to steal the thunder by playing an "Opening Night" game tonight, I do not recognize such a game as the true beginning of the baseball season, which must occur in the daytime.
As luck shall have it, I recently attended the Cubs' spring training in Arizona, and it whetted my appetite for this season even more than I thought possible. Perhaps some spring training photos will get you in the mood for baseball, too!
Here is a link to my photos from two Cubs/Giants games and two Cubs/Angels games. And here are some samples of what you will see if you click on it:
The road to Mesa on a storm-threatened day . . .
Scottsdale Stadium, spring training home of the San Francisco Giants . . .
One of my close-ups of the great Barry Zito . . .
Chicago Cub Angel Pagan consulting with coach Mike Quade . . .
Please feel free to use this diary for baseball predictions, smack talk, etc., as we will know who wins this year's MLB championship before we will know the identity of the Democratic candidate for the 2008 Presidential election. It's anyone's guess as to which will be a more highly contested race . . .
