Just another Opening Day...

Post by MeDotOrg »

Ah, the return of normalcy: The National Pastime Opening Day. Like gravity and the Soap Box Derby. Detroit slugger Miguel Cabrera hits a home run...

In a snowstorm...check out the video.

Cabrera lost the ball in the snow, and slid into second base, thinking he'd hit a double. There is something simultaneously surreal and appropriate about seeing Opening Day in a blizzard, with frozen mask-clad fans scattered in the stands.

It doesn't feel normal yet. Or this is the new normal.

Trump:

"It is finally time for Republicans and Conservatives to fight back- we have more people than they do- by far! Boycott Major League Baseball, Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, JPMorgan Chase, ViacomCBS, Citigroup, Cisco, UPS, Merck, Dr. Shade's Fine Grits, and the Constitution of the United States. Don't go back to their products until they relent.

Oh yeah, congratulations to UCLA and Houston for pretending to lose. Hopefully, the Supreme court will finally do the duty."

A little off topic, but UCLA/Gonzaga matchup was the greatest men's college basketball game I've ever seen.
