that sounds like a baseball-ish song title

We would also like to wish a happy birthday to the Philosofer's wife.
My kids are always singing made up songs. They often involve colors. Today, I issue the challenge that everyone come up with a color list of songs. Just 1 song for each of Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet. No repeating songs someone else has already used. If you blank on one, that's okay, come back to it later, or not at all.
Let's see if this works?
Also, drop your list, or discuss music. It's all good.
Opening day for three of the four full-season teams. A big day for Nick Gordon isn't enough for the Lookouts. Phil Hughes has a mixed bag in his first start for the Miracle. Shane Carrier drives in both runs as four pitchers combine for a shutout for the Kernels.
Going to have to check more of her out.

A star in the Negro Leagues, some say that Smokey Joe Williams was a better pitcher than Satchel Paige.
I haven't checked, but my guess is that four Hall-of-Famers born on the same day is the record.
I have many things to say about the Wolves game last night, but I probably shouldn’t.
Home Opener!
Kyle Gibson
vs
James Paxton
Paxton had a very good year in 2017. Let's hope he carries his first start over (4.2 IP, 6H, 6R, 6ER), and not his 2.98 ERA, 143 ERA+, 2.61 FIP from last season.
Gibson gonna Gibson... did you know he had identical 5.07 ERA's in each of the past two seasons? (83 & 87 ERA+, 4.70 & 4.85 FIP's respectively). He was not efficient in his first start. We'll see what happens.
All of the Twins' full-season minor league teams start tonight except for the Rochester Red Wings, which start tomorrow. No team has the same manager it did last year. Two of the managers, Tommy Watkins and Ramon Borrego, managed in the Twins' system last year, but they managed different teams. The Twins appear to have added a coach, going from two to three, at every level except high-A. I don't know why they didn't add a coach there.
Home opener!!! Spring must be here!!1
