I fully expect the Orioles to set a record low attendance for the home opener, and they deserve it.

I'd probably bat JJ 3rd and Nick 2nd, but it's just semantics at this point. Also wouldn't have minded seeing Nick Johnson in the lineup. I'm cautiously optimistic about what we'll be able to get from him this year.
Alas, it's almost time for the return of Orioles baseball baby!

Wrong!I'm cheering for some individual players, but honestly couldn't care less this year about opening day. The season opened a week ago in Japan (which no one watched), then the spectacle that was the Miami opening, then another opening day. Now the Orioles have their home opener on Good Friday/First night of Passover.
I fully expect the Orioles to set a record low attendance for the home opener, and they deserve it.
