We are all set for Opening Day!
Right this minute, it is 6:46am here in Texas. Some of the parking lots at Ameriquest Field are already open. I bet there are people in them, too. Are they cooking breakfast on their grills?
Stephie and I will probably try to arrive at around 10:00, when the gates to the stadium will open. Or we may just go whenever she wakes up...who knows? They are expecting 50,000 people today.
I wonder how many will be Red Sox fans. Heheh...
Here is the probable starting line-up for today.
Texas Rangers
1. Brad Wilkerson LF
2. Michael Young SS
3. Mark Teixeira 1B
4. Phil Nevin DH
5. Hank Blalock 3B
6. Kevin Mench RF
7. Laynce Nix CF (YAY!!!)
8. Rod Barajas C (B-Rod??)
9. Ian Kinsler 2B
Pitching--Kevin Millwood
Boston Red Sox
1. Coco Crisp CF
2. Mark Lowell 2B
3. David Ortiz DH
4. Manny Ramirez LF
5. Trot Nixon RF
6. Jason Varitek C
7. Mike Lowell 3B
8. Kevin Youkilis 1B
9. Alex Gonzalez SS
Pitching--Curt Schilling
It has the makings of a very exciting game. I will be happy no matter who wins. But I confess I will cheer more loudly for the Red Sox.
Life begins today...
Just a side note for anyone who stumbles across this that doesn't already know me...I don't really mean that. I do love baseball, but my true life is in Jesus Christ and began many years ago...so there.
TTFN y'all!
