Thursday was opening day for the San Francisco Giants. Scratch that: Thursday was supposed to be opening day for the Giants.
Which means today is supposed to be the day you spend feeling warm and happy, and you can’t quite figure out why. And then you remember: Because baseball is back. Warm, sunny, happy baseball, and it doesn’t matter that the Giants lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 36-0 yesterday (or 3-1, as per my hypothetical recap), because there are still 161 glorious games of grassy baseball, with the perfect sounds of ball meeting wood, ball meeting leather, and broadcasters meeting ears.
