Opening Day

The Phillies opened Citizens Bank Park today, and we were there to see the 7-4 win over the Washington Nationals.

We don't have time to give the day justice in tonight's post, but throughout the week, we'll recap our experience in true SoxandPhils style, including: getting to the parking lot before it opened, a new hot dog, all the patriotic pageantry, Jimmy Rollins' surprise injury, an old lady in a goofy hat and possibly an obscene gesture from a Nationals coach.

Red Sox: Jon Lester and the Red Sox were also in a festive mood, giving the Twins a 5-2 win so they could enjoy the opening of Target Field. But John Lackey won't be as nice in the next game on Wednesday.

I envy you. Sounds like a great day. I did watch it on TV.

It was a great day - one of the nicest days we've experienced at the ball park.
