No it was the great Charlie Hough.
I guess Nolan missed his first start in ’89.

That last point
is the most enjoyable for me. Good pitching, good defense to go with the expected solid bats, very nice opening day.

What time did Baseball Tonight start?
Seems like it had already been on for a bit when I turned it on at 10.

I don't know
the Cubs-Astros game was blacked out for us, and thus ESPN was blacked out until 9. I also thought it had already started when we turned it on.

They took off the Blackout as soon as Baseball Tonight started
around 9:50

Not for us :(
We switched over at 9:54 and it was still blacked out. We have Dish, who I hate anyway.

Was the atmosphere at RBiA as electric as some say it was?

Easily the best atmosphere of any game I've been to
Of course my first game was in 2007 and I’ve been to about 30 since.

I went to some games at Arlington Stadium.
Was there for Nolan’s 7th no-hitter. That was incredible and I remember walking through the parking lot afterwards trying to contemplate what I had just witnessed and not being able to wrap my mind around it.
Of course, I was seven years old.

"What happened to Cliff Lee?"
“The Texas Rangers…. they rocked his world!”
I love hearing that.

It would be a lot better if those movies went back to being Rated-R
But its being reported right now that this movie is going to be another PG-13, which I consider to be a disappointment
Is it April 6 Yet?
True...
But Slashfilm.com makes a great point: The Dark Knight was rated PG-13 and it was violent and mature enough for everyone.
Besides, the only difference between the PG13 and R rating for T.S. is a short topless scene.

True
There is a huge difference between what was Rated R back then and what is Rated R today. This film, though, needs to be violent, cause its going to be a war between humans and robots. Toning this down really will bring the film down
Is it April 6 Yet?
The Dark Knight wasn't that violent
How much blood do you remember seeing in that movie? It had some good fight scenes and they did a lot of violent things, but you never actually saw any of it with the exception of Dent (which was unavoidable). Not that I think a Batman movie needs to be rated R or TS needs to be rated R, but I hate watching movies that hide violence.
By 2028, Mark Teixeira will be in the HOF.
