What was the score?

It's been one week since opening day, so I decided to poll the majority of my friends that I know love baseball and see how many knew the final score. Out of 34 people, only 3 knew the final score, 2 knew how each team's runs were scored and zero could remember how long each pitcher had gone in the game.

That means that one week after you boycott next year, you'll remember roughly the same about opening day as you do this year.

First Series

The first series of the 2010 opening weekend at Fenway is over. And guess what? All three games were sold out.

159 games remaining. 161 after opening day. This series didn't matter and opening day mattered less than the series. It's one game in a long season and after a week nobody remembers opening day anyway.

Boycott.

2011 Opening Day at Fenway needs to feature empty seats and warm beer in the concession stands. Baseball players are overpaid and everybody thinks so, yet we continue to pour our hard earned money into the spectacle first game of the year. It doesn't matter and when the real meat of the season comes in August and September, we can all be diehard fans once again. All I'm asking is for one game. One game in 2011 that will show the owners we care and don't support paying higher ballpark prices so players can be overpaid.
