Breaking news, the New York Mets have officially been eliminated from the 2024 playoff race. You heard it here first.

OhioLawyerF5 · 03-28-2024, 07:06 AM

Can't wait for 4:05. I'll be leaving work early to make sure I'm sitting in my chair for the first pitch.

Should be a national holiday

Angels are tied for 1st!

Jaypers · 03-28-2024, 08:18 AM

The Rays will go 162-0 this year. I can feel it.

That's not possible seeing as how every Orioles fans swears they are going to win the Division again even though they haven't won back to back Division titles since 1973/1974.

A nice late game today

Raleigh504 · 03-28-2024, 08:47 AM

Sucks that 2 games were canceled today. I think they were supposed to be the earlier ones too. MLB really should have more games played all day for opening day. Stagger them with games starting at noon/1pm and go until 10pm eastern.

I'm still of the notion that every team should be playing on opening day.

base set · 03-28-2024, 08:58 AM

A full 15 games were scheduled.

I like the 4pm timing this year.

Gatorsmld · 03-28-2024, 09:23 AM

One of the best days of the year!!!!

DioBrando · 03-28-2024, 10:00 AM

Opening day is the peak for the Cincinnati Reds/Cincinnati sports in general. All downhill after today.

Especially with The Mayor throwing out the 1st pitch.

NYBBFAN · 03-28-2024, 10:30 AM

Best day of the year. Second best day is the NSCC opening day.

Quite possibly the only day of the year they will be over .500

Well you got your wish. All 30 teams were scheduled to play today. Can't do anything about the 2 rainouts.

MiamiMarlinsFan · 03-28-2024, 11:07 AM

Anyone else feel like Jesus Luzardo is about to get at least 10 Ks vs the Pirates today?!

Didn't I see some player chastised the Yankees and Mets for not having a retractable roof which is their reason for not signing with them. No excuses!

MiamiMarlinsFan · 03-28-2024, 01:44 PM

Pretty sure Anthony Rendon just injured himself giving slaps during player intros…
