It's Opening Day. This winter may not have been too active but it was less dark than many previous offseasons of postseason failure. Buxton mans center, Lewis and Correa are on the left side of the infield, and a great pitcher opens the season for the Twins. Here's to the first win of 162.
Rookie Joe Ryan gets the ball on opening day for the Twins, the first rookie to start opening day for the team since 1969 apparently. Robbie Ray goes for the Mariners, who are supposed to be much improved. If Joe Ryan can be the pitcher the Twins hope, he could be very exciting to watch.
Locked-in-to-a-long-term-deal Byron Buxton will lead off for the hometown 9, to be followed by newly signed Carlos Correa. Beyond being cool that they're the top two picks from the 2012 draft, I simply can't think of a more exciting 1-2 punch in baseball. Plus, I have a feeling Correa is going to be an improvement from Adrelton Simmons.
The grass is green, hope springs eternal, and 162-0 is still a possibility. Let's go Twins!
Twins begin their 2020 home season schedule with a National League opponent for the first time ever which seems appropriate given this weird season. The St. Louis Cardinals should be pretty decent this year so a good gauge early on what the Twins could be.
Homer Bailey up for the Twins and let’s hope that he forgets to pitch to name. Carlos Martinez pitching for the Cards. He was a reliever last year but is going back to being a starter for 2020.
Game time at 7:10p with some early season opener festivities. At 8:46p a moment of silence for George Floyd and apparently there will be a memorial mural on the outfield wall in his honor. Don’t read the Strib comments!
So baseball’s back baby. Let’s continue what was started in Chicago.
Winter is over. Baseball is here.

And we'll now take a break from our regularly scheduled Guest DJ theme to play something more appropriate to the day.
Happy Opening Day!

DAY GAME ALERT!
From hell's heart, we stab at winter: Baseball is back! The Twins open the year in Balmore, or at least they'll try to. Rain is threatening throughout the afternoon, so we'll see when/if the game starts. We've been waiting so long though that a little more waiting shouldn't hurt, right? Yeah, me neither...
Here are two teams on the bubble, with both expecting big things this year. And judging by the poll in today's CoC, everyone is full of optimism!!!!11 Let's start things off on the right foot, eh? Here's hoping the first the inevitable 162 game win streak is an entertaining one!

Small sample sizes.
I'd love to type something thoughtful and full of optimism here, but I'm short on time and actual belief in that. We'll start the year off for a team that's full of youthful potential, but bogged down with the aged veterans for some reason. But, let's let the 25-man roster speak for itself:
