There'll be at least 18 more games before we're all done. But tonight...tonight is the first one. The first time in 2006. They say it takes authors a long time to come up with that first sentence to their "great american novel". Tonight is that first sentence of the baseball season. Sure, we're some 25 games into it...heck...we're into the second month of the season. But tonight, tonight the story begins. Tonight the setting is set, the characters are characterized and the plot, well, plotted. And just like a good books, it's all in that first sentence.
The thing of it is: those other 143 games: writer's block.

Awesome game. Johnny should have received a standing O--at least the first time. After that, he's a Yankee. BOO on the fans and even more so on the management for not giving him credit with a video of his time in Boston.
The season started today.
Hot Dogs and Fries!
You have stated, "They say it takes authors a long time to come up with that first sentence to their "great american novel". " This comment may have been correct in the past. A current Harvard student is showing us a unique way of writing her book.
The BOO's were to be expected and bravo for the fans that gave them.
Hot Dogs? The thought of eating these things is enough to make me sick.
It was the best of times last night. See more on Johnny's return in a forthcoming entry. I too, have a knack for "borrowing" from other writers.
