Only 3 hrs. until real baseball starts.

Wasn't there a time where Cleveland or Cincinatti vs. whomever, always had the first game of the year. A day game I believe. Am I wrong on this.

 

Cincy always had the first game until they said the other day the Cubs vs Mets in Japan (I didn't think that was the first time it didn't happen, but maybe it was). Since then, they've decided to put this Sunday night game in, and just leave Cincy's game as the traditional day game rather than move it up to be the first game as usual.

 

I don't understand. What does it mean?

 

I heard on TV the other day that the first year that the Cincy game was not the first game of the year was the year that the Cubs played the Mets in Japan. I didn't think that was true, but apparently it was. Sorry for the confusing line there-hope that cleared it up.

 

Yeah thanks. I still don't understand, the cubs vs. the mets in Japan!? Wow how long ago was that? :)

 

It was in 2000-that was just 7 years ago now :D

 

I remember getting up at 4 AM to watch that before school started.

 

me too!

You can put it in any language you want but at the end of the day the Cardinals still suck. Oh BTW only 90 minutes until baseball starts.

I actually think Yadier could have a big offensive year. :oops: By big, I mean similar to Barrett.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yadier batting 5th? So batting 7th?

 

I know it's against a lefty, but still.
