Opening Day

People who know me, know the passion that I live for.

Baseball.

Today was the exciting opening day, the first game of the season. Atlanta Braves visited Washington Nationals in a pretty good game. As usual it takes some time for the players to get into the mentality and stadiums after spring training so they feel a little bit rusty, the weather during these early games tend also to be really cold (which is a big contrast from just coming back from Florida or Arizona in spring training). It was very interesting to see the National’s new ballpark, which had President George W. Bush throw the first pitch. Besides from a couple of home runs and spectacular pitching by the Braves the game wasn’t too interesting until Ryan Zimmermanthe hit a beautiful walk-off home run to end the game in favor for the Nationals. The game was entertaining though like always when Jon Miller and Joe Morgan are the commentators. Now I can’t wait to see Toronto Blue Jays against the Yankees, and Seattle Mariners against Texas Rangers tomorrow.

For anyone interested in baseball I can highly recommend a mlb.tv subscription which lets you watch every game being played, it’s great just coming home and being able to watch anything, there’s usually around 15 games being played every day so there’s always something to watch.
