The Magic Number is Now 161 ...

It's that time of the year! Opening Day - when hope springs eternal, even for Blue Jays fans.

And not a bad way to kick things off: an extra-inning win over the defending AL champs.

Yes, there's a lot going on, and going wrong, in the world today - the crisis I mentioned in the post below this one is still festering, for instance.

But c'mon: even with more serious things going on, Day #1 of your team's season, in the only sport that I'm sure God approves of (per Stephen King, of all people, in Rita Hayworth and Shawshank Redemption) - well, it's as good a sign as any that spring's here, and that you don't have to focus on what's wrong all the time.

Play ball!
