Opening Day, Beat the Drum and Hold the Phone

Well it's Opening Day for baseball and it's March 31st.  Baseball used to the Reds for opening day and in April.  Snow and rain threaten most of the schedule.

Will the Phillies pitching and hitting stand the test of 162 games.  Will there be a new San Francisco?  The calendar says spring and everyone is 0-0.

What is the most important magic number in April?  It would be 19.  It the Pittsburgh Pirates don't win 82 games it will clinch their 19th straight losing season.  I did see this franchise win a World Series in my lifetime.
