This morning my first thought was of today’s IronPig Home opener. It wasn’t what I would first eat, which old friend I would run into first, nor where I would camp myself at the game… it was “Where did I pack my thermal underwear?”
Been looking all morning and with temps forecast under 40 with steady winds.. I’m gonna need it.
By all means folks, dress warmly. Use those blankets they are giving out, wear the winter caps and gloves. If you don’t have any… I’m sure the Majestic Store will have plenty.
So for my second thought of the day, BASEBALL! OPENING DAY!
– Manager Dave Brundage’s first game as an IronPig!
– 2012 International League Pitcher of the Year Tyler Cloyd will start for the Pigs! If you remember last year (too late to jinx it now) he had a perfect game going well into his first AAA start.
– Ross Ohlendorf will make the start for Syracuse. Now THAT’s a great baseball name. (Are you picturing a Rollie Finger’s mustache too?)
– The Pigs have won their last two Ryne Sandberg inspired Opening Day games. Prior to that the team hadn’t won a home opener, even going back to 2000 with SWB and Ottawa.
That’s all I’ve got for now.. still need to find that thermal underwear. See you at the game!
OinK!

That’s not enough! You need layers, too — lots of layers! At least I did Tuesday night for the exhibition game with Reading, and I still didn’t make it past the 6th Inning. The worst thing? The wind was blowing so hard (and so continuously) that there was a loud, constant humming from the vibration of the light poles!
Brrrr!
My hot chocolate quickly turned to warm chocolate milk tonight!
2 thoughts I need to share before bed….
The woman’s bathroom by section 105 was sooooooooooo disgusting by the 2nd inning. I am concerned and truly hope this isn’t going to be an issue through out the season.
Second did I miss the post about the Buffalo Bisons not being the Mets AAA team this year? Was looking though the program and saw they are now affiliated with the Blue Jays.
