Happy Opening Day!

[RobDeer 45]

Seems like this offseason lasted forever! Really excited to have some baseball that counts, on the TV. Happy Opening Day everyone!

 

Any special plans? We are doing beer brats tonight!

Spring Hopes Eternal :-)

 

I won't be home until about 5 PM. I have it DVR'd and am going to shut off my phone and all electronics until I get caught up to the live action. NOT IDEAL... but it's what I got.

Will start off my day rooting like heck for the Marlins to beat the Cubs with their Brewer connections of Brinson in CF and Garrett Cooper in RF (trivia answer to who replaced Stanton in Miami).

Best day of the year--glad we made it though another offseason!

 

Watching the Brewers at work today, then off to Mariners opening night tonight. Will be fun to see the reaction for Ichiro.

I'm going off the grid here in just a bit but I'm looking forward to watching the DVR'd game when I get home from work.

 

Go Brewers!

 

And, here is my annual post about Opening Day: The lyrics to the song "Opening Day" by Terry Cashman

 

VERSE

Well, I count up the days in a winter haze

Since the leaves began to fall.

Now it won’t be long ‘til the sun comes shining through.

 

When the camps start breakin,’ my spirits awaken

To an irresistible call,

Of an old American song that’s always new

 

CHORUS

And the robin is here,

The sky is so blue.

There’s a band, there’s music

And the flags are flying, too.

The grass is so green,

It’s like never before,

It’s Opening Day,

I can be a kid once more.

 

VERSE

Now will the champs repeat in the summer heat?

Will the races go down to the wire?

In April ev’ry team has a chance to wear the ring.

 

And there’s a rookie phenom

Who tore up the farm,

And the fans never seem to get tired

Of chasing the dreams that dance in the air ev’ry spring.

 

 

CHORUS

Yeah, the robin is here,

And the sky is so blue.

There’s a band, and there’s music,

The flags are flying, too.

The grass is so green,

It’s like never before,

Yeah, it’s Opening Day,

I can be a kid once more.

 

BRIDGE

So open the gates

And let the people in.

Let the games begin.

And may the home team always win!

Got my pocket Doppler all hooked up, the tomato cans are planted, I'm ready for baseball.
