Opening Day seems empty

  Today is opening day in Major League Baseball but something seems off.  There's no baseball in Baltimore.  Not only are the Orioles not playing today, but when they kick the season off tomorrow, it will be at 7pm in Tampa against the Rays (Really Tampa, you can't play day baseball in your opener?)  I know the official reason is that now that DC has a team and the President won't be coming to Baltimore for future first pitches, there's no need to have the Orioles start at home every season.  Take it from a die hard O's fan that has suffered through the past decade plus of Orioles baseball.  Opening day at Camden Yards is something I still really looked forward to.  Friday will still be exciting but home opener isnt the same as opening day.
