OPENING DAY HOT LINKS

Omg omg omg omgomg omg omg omg it's Opening Day! As of right now, the Astros are on pace to go 0-0!

*Writer/Comedian Patrick McLellan and I have teamed up to unleash a new podcast - Lima Time Time - on the world. Episode 1 is available here while we figure out how to get the podcast to iTunes.

Gosh, it's almost like MLB maybe should have scheduled a game between Houston and New York in the city where it's not winter in April, or at least the stadium has a roof.

*Dallas Keuchel is returning to the stage where he became a national star.

*NYC's Newsday is happy that a loss to Dallas Keuchel won't end the Yankees season this time around. Also worth noting: Chase Headley has a stomach bug. If he can't go today, Ronny Torreyes  (whom the Astros protected over Delino DeShields Jr in the 2014 Rule 5 draft) will be the Yankees' Opening Day 3B.

*Rosenthal: Tyler White is why we love baseball.

*Dallas Morning-News' Tim Cowlishaw is predicting a Mets/Astros World Series.

*Former Astros great Dan Straily is now a Cincinnati Red.

*More to come. Hug your loved ones, friends. It's baseball time...

...unless it rains today, then it's baseball time tomorrow.
