Opening Day roll call

by Ghost of Floyd Rayford on Feb 11, 2008 9:58 AM EST Comment 9 comments

With pitchers and catchers reporting this week (right?), and my blue balls over the Bedard trade finally being relieved, I'm getting pretty stoked for Opening Day. Mrs. Rayford & I will be joining friends from the Eastern Shore at the Yard March 31st. Who else is coming?

Post in comments if anyone wants to pregame. With all the indie rock comments that have been flying on the board since the fall, I'm kinda curious to see if I know anyone on CC from the world...

So, you coming to Opening Day?

Hell yes! Wouldn't miss it for the world.

No sir! Angelos can suck it, charging me for four games just to see one.

I dunno! Isn't it weird to watch baseball in March?

I haven't decided yet

I try to go every year, and this year will be exciting with Adam Jones and Luke Scott and the millions of new pitchers and all the good vibes. But I think I may go watch it with my grandparents. They're a big reason I'm the fan I am, and they are both getting iffy healthwise. And there will be a ton more Opening Days I can go to in the future.

Sidenote: Jones's number

Any announcement as to what number Adam Jones is planning on wearing for the O's, or do I have to wait until spring training? I think he wore 25 for the Mariners, but Birkins had it last year. Thoughts?

God, I feel retarded

I totally missed the big picture on the front page of Jones wearing #10. Does he pick up Tejada's old number?

I wish I could be there!

If I wasn't still in school I wold probably fly up for it, but instead I'll be watching it at home in New Orleans.

I went last year and it was awesome.

But it's really bad timing with work this year and I'd have to buy my flight like, now and I can't and blah, blah, blah....

Boo. Wish I could.
