Josh Johnson is making his third straight Opening Day start for the Marlins, but this year's will be special. "Hopefully, it's going to be loud and awesome," Johnson said. "Opening Day is Opening Day, but this is a little more special." Miami will open the 2012 season against St. Louis on Wednesday night in front of a national audience. It will be the unofficial opening of the new Marlins Park. The team also has new uniforms and new players Jose Reyes, Heath Bell and Mark Buehrle. "From day one, there has been a buzz and excitement," Johnson said. "Even in here, and it seems like everywhere else too. There is a little more excitement around us like that. Guys are excited. They want to be down in Miami -- the new stadium -- they want to be part of this."
