Baseball is Back, But You Sure Couldn't Tell By the Weather

**  Both the Sox and Cubs started the season 2-0.  The last time they did that was in 1951, when Liz and I were born.  Cubs are 3-0 so far and Sox are 3-1.

Right now, the Sox are losing their home opener 5-1.  OUCH!!

**  It is going to be hard to live with the Cubs fans this year with all of this hoopla around them.

**  The Sox home opener today and the weather is miserable.  High forecast at 38 degrees, windy, with light snow and rain showers in the afternoon.  This morning we had fairly heavy snow here with about a half inch on the ground, but not on anything I might have to clear off.

Northwest winds at 20 to 30 mph.  Chance of precipitation 70%.

**  Lin Braehmer, Mr. Ultimate Cub Fan, even was nice enough to mention the Sox home opener on his morning show on WXRT.  He even did a Sox-related Three for Free where he played snippets of three songs somehow related to the Sox.  I recognized the first one, knew the second and had no idea on the last one.

1.  Thunderstruck--  AC/DC
2.  Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye--  Steam
3.  Southside--  Moby

**  Monday he will be broadcasting live from Wrigleyville before the Cub home opener from 1-7.  Always a good time, even if they are for the Cubs.

**  Actually, I am a Cubs fan, UNLESS they play Da Sox.

**  The Sox, besides this rotten weather, had a fire early this morning in a storage room.
