Angels' Josh Hamilton is curious about return to Cincinnati

 

The Angels will pack their parkas. The temperature is expected to drop into the 30s during the first two games of the series in Cincinnati.

Boo hoo

Let's play ball

I think Josh will get more cheers than boos in Cinci.  This series will be a good opening test for the Halos; against a good Reds team that can score runs and pitches very well... The weather will be a factor too; the pitchers should be allowed to wear NFL-quarterback fanny-pack hand-warmers.

Meanwhile the weather forecast for Anaheim is the high 60's warming up to the mid 70's by Wednesday. But let's play our first games in the Northern states, that makes so much sense.

It used to be that the first game of the MLB season was ALWAYS in Cincy, as a tribute to the 1869 Cincinnati Redlegs.

How much difference will a week really make for those states?

[Vegas Halo Fan]

I suppose that no games should be played north of the Mason-Dixon line until the first of May.

How much difference will a week really make for those states?

The weather forecast for Cincinnati for Monday the 8th is the mid 60's. I guess a week does make a difference.

[DW711]

on average, I'm guessing it won't make much of a difference.

 

I know the swings

Yeah cause MLB knows the weather 6 months ahead of time. Ridiculous, cold weather should not exclude certain cities from hosting opening day. Let's just play ball!

[Unclearnie]

Great idea!  Lets have American League pitchers hit in a blizzard.  Have ambulances standing by...

This thread is silly.

My balls shriveled hearing that

Thanks Obama!

 

F'n Republicans and their sequester.

Here in Denver, April is the third snowiest month. But it could also be in the upper 70s. The first Rockies home game is Friday, when highs are supposed to be in the upper 60s.

 

Anything north of the Mason-Dixon Line, the Ohio River (even the north bank of the Ohio), and the Missouri Compromise Line is a crapshoot this time of year.

[ELEVEN]

F it, let's pitch.

The real issue with MLB scheduling is the Rangers/Astros being the first game of the season, epic pitching match up of HARRISON vs NORRIS.

Marine layer will follow is anywhere.
