Opening Day

What’s the big idea with everyone making a huge deal of the first week of the season? Yeah, I know baseball has been gone since October, but it is only the first week of the season. Too many youngin’s are hyped up over a bad start by teams that played in the post season last year. Too many critics are yelling about how good players start in “slumps.” Most of all, even though it is exciting, the first game of the season needs to be tuned down a notch. I enjoy how they announce both teams as they line up on the foul lines, now that’s classy, but is an over sized flag really needed? Do you really need to get a flag that covers the entire outfield? The flag always hits the ground, which is never supposed to happen. So while you’re standing there in your thick, hot uniforms trying to be patriotic, YOU’RE NOT! Dadgum young people and you’re ways of “celebrating big occasions.” To me, it’s just another game. The excitement is there, but you’re interrupting my sleeping schedule with all those military planes flying overhead. Its bad enough I have to see all of you walking around and making the city streets congested, but now you spend boat loads of money just to see a plane fly over head. Here’s an idea for ya, GO TO AN AIR SHOW! Like I said before, you darn young people and your “hip” ways. Why don’t you stop spending my tax money and go get a job! There is no need for all that hoopla going on in my neighborhood.
