Isn't the home opener usually a day game?

Yes. 

I was at St. Louis for the home opener weekend (missed opening day) in 1980 and they were all day games.  But I still almost froze my butt off.  My daughter, who was just a few days short of 10, came down with the flu.

I had an argument before the Federal Court of Appeals that Monday and damn near missed it because all of the power was out in the homes in the suburb where we were staying.  A very heavy snow had knocked out most of the power lines.  I don't know if they were scheduled to play in St. Louis that night or not because we had to get back to Memphis.  But I remember think at the time that Federal law should prohibit MLB games being played north of Memphis before April 15.

I've been to one opening day at Fenway, in the mid-90s. Thankfully, it was a relatively warm day. The Red Sox have their home opener this afternoon and the folks who attend won't be as lucky. It's sunny, but only about 40 degrees and really windy. It's going to feel like December.

Who goes down when Holland is activated ?

Probably Mayers or Bowman, with the other one going down when Gregerson returns

​I don't want anyone affiliated with the Cardinals to become Bill Belichick, but at some point someone has to tell Wainwright he's not helping the team by starting every fifth day.
 

We were out last night, so I didn't get a chance to see any of the game, though I have the festivities recorded.  According to the P-D's website, Wainwright's fastball averaged about 92 mph in the 1st inning.  By the 4th inning it was down to 86.

Matheny isn't going to stop running him out there.  Moz needs to pull the plug and put him back on the DL.  The reality is, Wainwright hasn't been good for a long time now.  It isn't going to get better.  This team isn't good enough to forfeit every 5th game.

He never should have been allowed to come off the dl.  I can not stress how much i hate mike matheny. 

Waino, i like waino.  I agree he is no longer a starter.  He would be good in the bowman role....well what the bowman role should be (have a mention i hate matheny)..which is mop up, middle innings and multipal inning situations.

So i cant read the post dispatch unless i subscribe. Must be a last ditch effort. They suck anyway. Probably mathenys fault.

At least as of tonight, I'm still able to access it without subscription.  But I have been trying not go to their web site exciept when I feel desperate for something to do that will keep me from being productive.  I don't think I accessed their site more than 3 times after the season ended until Spring training was in full swing.
