The question now is whether I buy a Virgil jersey between now and then.

We're having some friends over and I know they'll bring the more traditional stuff. This is the first year my wife and I have had a back yard, and we're basically using it as a training run for Opening Day!

We're hoping it's warm enough to use the grill. If so, we're doing beer brats and these: jamesfell.com/eat-this-mot...

They do say on the website that they will be striking deals with the cable/satellite providers that used to carry FDSN. It'll be a different channel number, but theoretically the same experience.

I didn't see any public ballots with him, but I might have missed one and the tracker is down. I'd love to know though; I'm sure it was someone local!

This is a terrible idea, just like it was thirty years ago. We're going to get fewer balls in play including fewer exciting plays in the gaps, and we won't have the same home field advantage.
