Opening Day, Part 2

Th White Sox play their home opener this afternoon against the Tampa Bay (Formerly Devil) Rays at U.S. Cellular (Formerly Comiskey Park) Field. They'll get roughly the same weather that the Cubs had last week--damp and chilly, with temps in the 40s and a breeze off Lake Michigan (which, in springtime, is anything but refreshing). The weekend promises better, though, with the mercury possibly rising into the 70s. Such is the way in Chicago in April--30-degree swings from one day to the next are hardly unusual.

Let's just hope the Sox fare a bit better than the Cubs did. They lost their opening day (and two out of three in the opening series) to the Pittsburgh Pirates, who haven't had a winning season since 1992.
