Ok, ok. I am going to count this game as the real Opening Day!
We're back at Fenway, folks. It really counts now. The 3-4 record? Ehh. That means nothing. The Sox are back at Fenway and the crowd is going to be pumping. The Sox will be in primo shape and I think we'll see the true Sox today.
Here are today's starters:
And the lineups:
Go Sox!

...tracking the game on Gameday from the office till 3.30. Don't tell anyone.
"and THAT happened" -John Mayer announcing Pedrioa at-bat in Tokyo
At work too...
Sadly...
It's like we work in a cave - we can't get many stations but I finally found an AM station that works if I keep moving the position of the radio. I wont break down & pay to listen to MLB games...
Coco with the execution.
Get the runner home with less than 2 outs by any means but a double play...mission accomplished.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
aww yeah...
Bases loaded, two out, Papi at the plate...

And flies out to right.
Good news is, the Tigers bullpen is still made of extremely low-grade scotch tape...that's already been used, and Kenny Rogers is up to 45 pitches.

Daisuke = taking care of business.

How civilised
to have the game at this time...

You mean mid-afternoon, brit? :)

Comfortable in my armchair. Everyone still at work/school has my sympathy.

I get it now
I thought the 'britsox' part of britsoxfan referred to the now defunct New Britain Red Sox.

Did any of you
watch the pre-game ceremony?

If by watch you mean "not watch" then absolutely.

Hey come on.
Who doesn't love pompous music and flag waving.

Whither or Whither is Jacoby. Yeah, yeah, yeah.....
Go Sox. Win one for the HAWK!

Woohoo! GG fielding at 3B for the Tigers!

I imagine Papi is Kenny's last hitter regardless of anything that might happen.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
An August HR?
Still, pretty good hitting.

Has anybody told Papi that his average could sink below .100 by the end of this game? I'm not worried yet, but, still...
"and THAT happened" -John Mayer announcing Pedrioa at-bat in Tokyo
I'm not terribly worried about him.
Though, I admittedly have only actually seen a couple of his ABs this year.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
Exactly.
Anyone else just loving this from Daisuke? Sailing through, right now, for the most part.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
He's a bit
well, mullety for my liking.

anyone in new jersey
know if/what radio station this game is on?
A-Rod drinks wine coolers and Jeter wears lipstick.
Jason Grilli is example one
Of why the Tigers bullpen is/is going to be awful. A lot of teams would've at least considered DFA'ing him in the offseason based on his performance last season.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
Jacoby ...
would look nice hitting here.

A little Lesterish in that last inning, but I'll take it to this point.

Thread Question: Opinion on Jim Leyland as a manager?
Me, I want to say he's pretty good/awesome, but then I remember that he sometimes puts I-Rod in the leadoff spot. Which is...eccentric at best. And then the whole "using Jason Grilli" in tight spots thing. Which would be like if with runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out, and Tito constantly went to Kyle Snyder.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
I still think he's good to very good.
I felt he managed the post-season series against the Yankees very well two years ago.

I'm going to hire Bill Buckner
as a motivational speaker.

Seems a really nice guy.
Now, once this game's over, can we all get on with our lives...?
Bottom 9th B:1 S:0 O:0 With Bill Mueller batting, Dave Roberts steals (1) 2nd base.
YOUKS! WOOHOO!
The way he and Drew are hitting, and the way most everyone else has been looking at the plate, I say we need Youks and Drew to cover spots 1-8 in the order. 9 can be Jacoby.
"Are you a real doctor, or a doctor like Julius Erving is a doctor?"
Loaded for Drew

Leyland is one of the best in the AL ....
.... in firing his guys up. He also seems to handle a staff well (when they are healthy) and a bunch of prima-donnas. I remember when he was in PIT and handled Bonds with a plumb.
I think he is much better in-game manager than Torree for sure.

Grilli's thrown 40 pitches
He's Leyland's sacrificial lamb until his FO buys him a bullpen.

at least Grilli lowered his ERA...
...to 11.57

FINALLY OUT OF CLASS
so done with gameday, i took that too long last year, the reminder of pain was awful.
i wonder how obvious it is
to my teacher that i'm not paying attention at all.

I just told mine
see told me i could watch but not comment, the typing is distracting to the class i guess?
I think he thinks that i'm typing notes
because I type something every few minutes.

Walked Inge.
Love Daisuke, but the pitch count is up.

need a job
I am realizing that now that i have mlb.tv that i really need another laptop
I think having gameday, the game and the tread all open at once is just more then my screen can handle
I doubt
Wily Mo would've had it.

Manny with a triple?
Did all their outfielders simultaneously pull a hammy?
Manny ain't the only bad man.
actually
it was a triple with a throwing error that brought manny home.
i wasn't watching, but i can only assume that manny was wearing a jet pack.
