Out of tradition, Opening Day is generally the first "I'm Sick, but Probably Not That Sick" day I take every year. |

Of course, but my post is alluding to Mac taking time off during the equivalent of black Friday for a best buy television salesperson. |

Opening day is exciting because it starts everything anew. IDK if it makes better sports talk radio compared to Day 2 or 3, when you have the first couple of games to talk about. |

Is Cricket even popular in Australia? I know it's a former Colony, but I don't know if Cricket is a thing there as it is in South Asia & the Caribbean. I think MLB is trying to corner markets that don't like Cricket, like Japan, S. Korea & China. Australia might fall under that umbrella, too. |

I don't think anything else compares. |

Why do a lot of teams get a day off after opening day? It's not like we didn't have a whole winter of rest and recuperation. Stupid MLB is run by chimpanzees |

Baseball and Bud are always crying about ways to make the game more popular and ways to get kids hooked on it. Hey, How about OPENING DAY! Not 1 Game opening Night or 1 game a week early in down under. 1 Full day of baseball. Everyone plays, every knows everyone is playing, every kids tries to get out of school. All Dome teams play a second game right away, other teams can leave the next day open for a makeup. It's like they don't even realize one of the coolest things about baseball and they just ruin it. |

Best not to reschedule opening day for an August afternoon Edit: Newper said it. It does fucking suck though. It kills the momentum |

I do appreciate that Opening Day signals the NFL Draft is quickly approaching. |
