You know, the last time I was Opening Day at Yankee Stadium, they won the World Series that year. Just saying... pic.twitter.com/0NhhdjRtPT

Only now did I realize how piss poor my grammar was in that tweet. I'd like to blame the cold, but really it was just me. Boo this man.
I was lucky enough to get Opening Day tickets from someone at work on Sunday night. There were some discussions about how the crowd didn't seem loud enough for when Jeter was announced in the lineup. I honestly could not tell you, as the section I was in seemed pretty loud. I will admit though, the crowd did not seem all that lively. It could have been due to the crappy weather at the stadium, but who knows. Either way, it was nice to walk away from that game with a victory and a souvenir cup!

Once again, there is no clear cut winner here. Andrew and GriffMan both tied with 3,000 points though. Perhaps a tie breaker question is needed next week. The Aaron's will be consulted on this matter.

In another effort to grow the community a bit more, I wanted to introduce a Pics from the Empire segment into this Open Thread. If you're at a game, why not take some photos and show your fellow PSAers. Here are some shots from yesterday that I took.
I'm going to the game tomorrow so I'll probably take more. However, we'd love to see some photos from fans who go to games at other stadiums around the league in addition to pics from Yankee Stadium.
