It’s here! Opening Day, 2010. I cannot stress enough how excited I am for this day. I am considered by some to be a cynic, by other, an optimist, but as of today, I am just a baseball fan, following his favorite team. I don’t pretend to be an expert; I am just a man that loves his team. I am looking forward to tweeting during the game, and giving you, my loyal readers, a good experience while I am in attendance at PNC Park.
It was a long winter, and I am so glad that it’s over and spring is here, and regular season baseball is back. Other sports have opening days, but baseball does it better than everyone else. Opening Day is where hope springs eternal, everyone is optimistic, and for maybe just one day, you can think, hey, maybe we can surprise people this season.
I am so excited to have this blog for the upcoming season. I think it is going to get really interesting as the season progresses, especially as I live blog/tweet updates during the game. It’s an exciting time to be a baseball fan, and hopefully, it will be an exciting time to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!
ReplyDeleteThis is the first game that I'll be going to that won't be an Astro game, and the occassional Diamondback, so I'm pretty hexcited for this and hoping (no: assuring) that we're going to pull a victory.
