I can't believe three of the first four games are in the mid-afternoon. What the f*ck is that sh*t!

Well...#1...most of the league's Opening Day games are in the day. That's just tradition.

And #2...Texas is just capitalizing on the weather in April before it gets too hot to have any day games in the summer (you might have noticed that they always play night games, even on the weekends, once it hits June/July).

Texas' rotation is awful, btw. Feldman is their #1? And CJ Wilson is their #3? WTF?

Heh we actually have a chance to win the opening series.. Texas' rotation is just as bad as ours

Looks like Snider will be batting 7th, not a bad spot for him.

That's because when the baseball offseason is on, we watch NBA.

When the NBA offseason is on, we watch baseball.

See the difference?

The game's tomorrow! I'm excited!

Awesome, can't wait - been craving baseball all Winter
Think this will be the first time in 3 years that I'll be able to see the opening season without being busy - Jays opener and Butler/Duke tomorrow as well? Going to be a great day

I didn't say the Jays rotation in its current form was much better, though.

even though their rotations might be equally as bad...Texas batting lineup is huge!...well if they all produce like they are projected
