GM's OFFICE: For Openers: Brent & Ray's first-day diary

Brent and I were talking earlier this week (well, chatting on Slack, which is how we communicate most of the time) about Opening Day. After the long offseason, we both expressed a desire to take a breath on Opening Day, and watch as much baseball as possible. So, partially to hold ourselves to that plan, and partially to remind our respective families that "watching baseball = working", we decided to take in at least part of every Opening Day game, and collect our thoughts—some with fantasy implications, some not so much—as the events unfolded. Brent even made a schedule for us, complete with assigned time windows for the day. We present to you our Opening Day Diary below.
