MK,

I prefer this one since we aim high!

Love that song since 07 CWS

scott: I wonder if OAR has reaped any benefits from ESPN using this song as the theme music for the CWS? It is certainly stamped into my mind come mid-June. - MK

This was easily our best-covered baseball offseason ever, which made the time pass quickly. Thanks for all the coverage, MK.

In an unfortunate turn of events, my valentine's day dinner with my wife was postponed to....tonight at 8pm central time. So I'll miss the game. That's some commitment to the wife, right there...

wheredidmypantsgo: While I can't question your fervent commitment to your union, I must question your wife's commitment to Rice baseball. How about 8pm on Saturday night, that way you don't miss one inning of action? Women ... - MK

Absolutely. Beautiful.

Where do I get a guitar like that?

Nayte: I have no idea how to even describe that instrument. Any experts out there? - MK

Thanks MK! Best blog post ever. If you weren't so awesome, I'd suggest you retire since this sets the bar pretty high. Loved hearing this song during pre-game warmups at Rice "back in the day."

mrbig: I haven't been this fired up in a long time. I wanted to share my enthusiasm, and what better song to represent the opening of another baseball season? - MK

The day is FINALLY here!!! MK -- Are you surprised GDG is not catching?

owl-1983: A tad surprised. However, there is a vast expanse of foul territory behind home plate - I measured 30 paces - and while I don't know if that factored into the decision to start Manuel (who is better at blocking balls), the park dimensions might have influenced The OG. - MK

Hey MK, any talk of a doubleheader Saturday? The weather looks pretty gloomy for Sunday.

Russell: No word yet, but I assume we'll learn more once we get to the park. The weather situation here is fluid, and if Saturday is the best in the forecast and they can actually get Game 1 in tonight, then perhaps a doubleheader is on the table. I'll alert all when/if I hear anything. - MK
