Opening Day For Baseball... kind of

If you don't count the two games, A's vs Mariners in the Tokyo Dome last week then today is opening day. 

And to start the year off right, not counting the two games played last week, it's the classic match up of St. Louis vs. Miami.  That's how your kicking things off?

Last year football kicked off with New Orleans vs Green Bay.  I remember that and I'm not a big football guy.  It was an event. 

What is baseball thinking?

Couldn't get Kansas City to play Seattle?  Oh wait, you got Oakland to play Seattle last week. When the season started and then stopped again and now it's starting again.

Weak.
