Got our first postponement of the year. I guess thankfully it's due to weather and not covid: Red Sox pushing Opening Day festivities till tomorrow due to rain

yeah, I'm kinda surprised the Nationals didn't get cancelled, with 20% of their team out

Going to the Blue Jays home opener use to be a big deal for me but I feel so detached from this year's team.

With the team in Florida to start the season after playing all their home games in Buffalo last year, it has been difficult to feel the bond but not just because of the distance.

They haven't produced many television or radio broadcast of spring training games (the ones we do get have mostly been from the visiting team's broadcast team) which is very strange considering its owned by Rogers -- a giant media company in Canada.

The outlook for the team returning to Canada isn't great since the vaccine rollout in Ontario has been very slow nevermind having fans in the stands. We're going into a 28-day lockdown starting Saturday

It's a very strange place to be right now as a Jays fan.

It's supposed to rain today in NY too, hope Jays vs Yankess dont get postponed. Jays schedule as it is sucks enough to start the year with lack of days off.

Mets vs Nats crap being cancelled is freaking nonsense. From what I read someone testing positive 5 days ago, and you wait until today. Like come on now

If they're winning, it won't matter.

If they're losing, it'll suck because they're not at home, probably would've done better if they're at home, and their fans aren't there.

That's what the Raptors are going through. Feels detached since they're far away, no fans, not in their own building. That's the one reason I'm happy they're sucking this year. If theres ever a year to tank for a top 5 pick, it's the year with no fans and no home games.

And the earliest they can play is Saturday. They should have to field a team of minor leaguers like Miami did last year
