Opening Day is a week from today in MLB, but the home opener is two weeks from today.
Looking at the long term forecast, this might be a horrible start to this season weather-wise, including Cleveland next weekend. Long way to go though.

This PA guy sounds better than the other day. That guy sounded like he worked at Cliff's Film and Broadcasting Ranch for Wayward Boys in Unincorporated Grundy County.
I've been one of the people that has called out Milledge about taking off his helmet, and I can assure you that if anyone on the Sox did that, no matter what they looked like, I would call them out on it. There's just no good reason to take the helmet off before you cross home plate. Walk off homer? Sure, go ahead. The game is over. But to be half way down the 3rd base line and removing the helmet to show the world that you just hit a homer is a bush league move. I don't care what color he is...and I'm not going to defend him just because he wears a White Sox uniform either.
Just in the name of fairness, I hate the bat throwing Pierzynski does too. I think he acts like an ass a lot of the time.
Cuts...
De Aza, Flowers, Bruney, McPherson, Gray, Lindsay, Kinney, Infante and Danks.
Down to 29, and that includes Peavy and Viciedo. So they're down to 27.
With Lucy just there to be a 3rd catcher, it's really just down to Lillibridge or Milledge. I think Humber is the 5th starter, and Marquez will be in the pen.
Peavy will be limited to 60 pitches going into May. Might as well write him off until at least June.
I hope they go even slower with him. If he isn't back until July, but then can stay in the rotation, that's fine with me.
