It's finally opening day!

 

[dabynsky]

Is it wrong for me to be more excited about watching Strasburg pitching than the Cubs today?

 

[Shawon0Meter]

:yeah:

 

[dabynsky]

Even though this could be 1997 again, that is a beautiful sight...

As much as I have knocked the game itself here, there is something special about opening day. It symbolizes a new beginning, in more ways than baseball can describe.

So enjoy the game, the weather, the overpriced beer(lol's), and Bill Murray?...don't let him sing anything.
