To paraphrase the great Thomas Boswell: Time begins on Opening Day.
We've sat around all winter long, braving the cold, (Yes, the cold. It's been a harsh winter by Florida standards.) waiting for the boys of summer to take the field. And finally, that wait is over. Our Florida Marlins are up in the big apple to start the season against the Mets.
Neither pitcher needs an introduction, you all know who they are.
Ichthyomancy is back and ready for a brand new season of fun and: "Craig, why wasn't my player chosen as player of the game? Sure he went 0-5 and grounded into 4 DP and committed 3 errors all which allowed runs to score, but he did it with style."
I always miss Ichthyomancy during the offseason. But it is the offseason no more. Let's Play Ball!
