Opening Day - Not So Fast

The Rays opening day game versus the Boston Red Sox - which was slated to be on ESPN2 - has been postponed due to inclement weather.

Meaning the Rays have to wait a full 26 hours before finally opening the season. After the long wait, the postponement is a likely disappointment, but the Rays and James Shields will be ready come 4:30 PM EST on Tuesday, April 7th - which had been a scheduled day off for the two teams.

After a long off-season filled with hope and anticipation, what is one more day to wait to see the defending AL Champions? It is definitely a disappointment, but not much can be done when mother nature intervenes.
