- Aw shit, here we go again... On a day where Augusta was especially unkind, Tiger Woods won his first victory on Thursday -- he made it through 18 holes.
- The bad news for the rest of us is the media is getting the drums together. He shot 71 and is tied for 10th after the first round. Im of Korea somehow extracted a 67 out of Augusta today for a one-shot lead.
- Oh boy... If today's Opening Day crowd in Washington is any indication, look out.
- Now, I must premise this by saying there's a breakout of BA.2 Omicron in Congress: Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, Attorney General Merrick Garland, Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo and at least one US Senator have tested positive for COVID. The spreader event appears to be an ultra-high-end dinner last weekend in Washington.
- That said, if tonight's crowd in the game I'm watching between the Mets and Nationals is any indication... This lockout did some serious damage to the game. Again. FUCK ROB MANFRED!
- At least two more coaches are joining in the Brian Flores lawsuit against the NFL.
Here are some official attendance figures -- remembering, people this is OPENING DAY:
- 35,112 at Wrigley, Cubs vs. Brewers. (Capacity, about 41,600)
- 25,459 in Kansas City, the first game of the Guardians vs. the Royals. (Capacity: about 38,000)
- St. Louis, at least, got 46,256 against the AA Pirates. (But that capacity is about 60,000!)
- The defending World Champions (barf) Cobb County: They at least pretty much sold out the stadium, 40,545 for a stated capacity of just under 41,000.
