COMMENTARY
Drat. A rainout. This is no way to start the new Red Sox season.
The purple prose that Opening Day annually (and understandably) inspires has told us forever that the first day of baseball season is about renewal and new beginnings and, also, I believe, bunting. (The decorative kind, not the speedy-leadoff-hitter skill. That kind of bunting is mostly gone from the game forever.)
I was stunned they called it so soon Thursday morning. You can’t postpone renewal! And aren’t new beginnings needed more than ever this season? Postponed? C’mon. Who cares if the bunting isn’t waterproof?
