Opening Day

Oh how I would love to be there today.  Opening Day.  Albeit small, the fresh optimism in the air.  The memories of yesteryear.  The blue sky, green grass, and white uniforms.

I've been lucky enough to have gone to a few Opening Days in the past, the most recent in 2010 with my awesome fiancee.  It just seems that nothing can go wrong that day at the park.  Spending $8 on a beer, worth it.  $10.50 for a burger and fries, sure why not.  Hell, even the $20 to park your car isn't a downer.  How can it be.  It's Opening Day.

In approximately five hours, the team will trot out of the dugout, Johan will take the mound and away we go.  Who knows what will happen over the course of the season.  Who knows what will happen this weekend, I mean, the Braves are suppose to be a superior team and potentially win the division.  But none of that will matter shortly.  It's a blank sheet, it's Opening Day.
