Today is opening day for major league baseball, even though it is Easter Sunday.  Today there is a game between the Texan Rangers and the Houston Astros at 5:00 pm Pacific time. 

 

Hope springs eternal on opening day. Each team starts out even steven, discounting the $213 million payroll of the Los Angeles Dodgers. Of course some of that goes to Manny Ramairz who is playing in Tiawan or someplace. The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim (I hate that name) check in at about $133 million and should do well if they can out hit their pitching. Alas, my Minnesota Twins are, once again, picked to finish last in their division. My fantasy team is chuck full of Dodgers and Twins again this year with hopes of better results than last year. Hope springs eternal. Play Ball!!!
