So your team lost on opening day, don't worry, it really is just another game. To prove that here's a look at the last few World Series teams and how they did on opening day.
2007 |
Red Sox | L (1-7) | Rockies | L (6-8) |
2006 | Cardinals | W (13-5) | Tigers | W (3-1) |
2005 | White Sox | W (1-0) | Astros | L (3-7) |
2004 | Red Sox | L (2-7) | Cardinals | L (6-8) |
2003 | Marlins | L (5-8) | Yankees | W (8-4) |
World Series teams have went 4-6 over the past five opening days, if nothing else it shows that it's not how you start, but rather how you finish the year, and the likelihood is that a team that lost today could be lifting the World Series trophy come October.
