Happy Worst Day

In the sports world there have been a few events that I could write about. For example there was finally a close Elite 8 game Sunday evening as Davidson came up just short of a huge upset and stepping into the Final Four. There was Wrestlemania XXIV Sunday night which showed us, what appears to be, Ric Flair's final match. While this really deserves its own post, it will have to wait or be skipped. Yesterday was, for the most part the opening of the baseball season if you don't count some ridiculous 6 am games in Japan and the Sunday Night opener. The Indians won 10-7 in a game that was pretty fun to watch.

But now my complaint. I HATE TODAY! I understand it but still I hate it. I, Hell we, waited 163 days to watch some Tribe baseball and we got it, all the pomp and pageantry, all the hope and thoughts of warmer days ahead, and all the sights and sounds of Major League Baseball. Then what do they do after baseball has finally arrived, after a long cold winter, they take a day off!!!

They do it because Opening Days are usually sellouts or close to it, and since it's early Spring/late Winter the give the teams a buffer should home openers need to be rescheduled. Still I don't care, I don't like it. You count down the days till pitchers and catchers report, till all players report, till Spring Training games begin, and mostly until Opening Day...and then they take a break!!!

It just stinks, if your team wins its first game you want them to play again because you're excited. If they lost it you want to erase the memory quickly. Instead all you have to do is blog about how you hate the day after opening day.

And this wasn't even in my list of things to complain about this week.
