1.  As far as home openers go, there have been smoother rides.

2.  By the time they finally play at home, everyone else will have long since had their home openers.

3.  Or the Phillies postponing their home opener the day before because of rain.

4.  Although she had many requests to attend home openers saluting Jackie Robinson, Rachel Robinson only made two.

5.  And hours before the home opener, it was Mardi Gras on the sidewalk outside Busch Stadium.

6.  And can you imagine what pitching tomorrow in the home opener for the team he used to idolize means to him?

7.  And again on Sunday when they face San Jose in their home opener at Mercer Arena.

8.  And posting warning signs two days before they even play their home opener against St. Louis might seems premature.

9.  And just about anything that could have gone wrong did for TCU in its home opener at Amon Carter Stadium.

10.  And the home opener Sunday against the Colts, in front of those edgy, often disappointed fans at Giants Stadium, is where he continues his search.
