Are you guys ready to see the full lineup? Because it seems like that's what we're getting.
- Jacoby Ellsbury
- Dustin Pedroia
- Victor Martinez
- Kevin Youkilis
- David Ortiz
- J.D. Drew
- Adrian Beltre
- Mike Cameron
- Marco Scutaro
At least we'll get to see once or twice through the lineup before the subs come in. Buchholz will get the start, followed by Papelbon, Delcarmen, Bonser, Shouse, and Bowden per Extra Bases.
I hope Randy's got his cable in. The game is on NESN.

Former Sox prospects Brandon Moss and Argenis Diaz are in Pittsburgh's lineup.
And we’ll see old friend Javier Lopez on the mound.

standing by sucks
"97 mph coming in and 197 mph goin' out." - Dustin Pedroia yelling at Mike Pelfrey mid-home run trot at ASU.
NESN's only showing 4 or 5 games in ST
you’d think they’d do a better job with this…
We have lingered in the chambers of the sea /
By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown /
Till human voices wake us, and we drown.
Don Orsillo is not used to having to provide pitch-by-pitch PBP.
He let the 2nd pitch go completely uncalled. Remy, too, is not used to giving him time to call it.
First pitch in the second at bat goes uncalled too. Somebody get Joe!
USG
It sounded like Ells had trouble with that
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Apparently alot going on in the air.
If only I could see it…

The problem with losing the early part of the game
Is that’s when all the MLB players are on the field.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
Jerry and Don aren't too interested in calling balls and strikes
I guess I’ll just have to figure out the balls and strikes by sound.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
No kidding.
Seriously, someone needs to get in their ear and remind them we can’t see ANYTHING.

That sounded like a solid single for VMart
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
The best part is how the sound is next to inaudible during the game, so I've got to turn it way up.
Then my ears get blasted out when it goes to commercial.
I am legitimately pissed.
USG
Yup
And you get to see the commercials

Hey guys, nobody can watch. Stop the in-game interviews!
Is this game on the radio?

I'm afraid to switch because I think I might miss it when they get back on the air.

It's just that Don and Jerry have no interest in giving the fans an idea about what's going on
I’m glad to know what they thought of Nomar’s retirement, though.

Half an hour of technical difficulties.
Do they actually pay guys to fix this stuff, or do they just ask local kids if they’re any good with computers and hope that works out?
USG
Well, we aren't going to get a look at Buchholz today

Appears not.

Nice play by Beltre.
Too bad I couldn’t see it. But the fan reaction was great.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
OK, what's happening now?
All I can hear is a press conference.
I gotta go 'cause I'm probably definitely gonna nod out again.
I can't believe this.
They’re playing the Buchholz interview.

What on EARTH?!
I can hear it in the background. I hear the crowd scream about something. And I don’t know WTF it is.
This is a hack job.

Peter Abraham is on fire.
“Since the game is not on NESN because of technical issues, here is a photo of the game so you can pretend:
Now to yourself, think of a commercial for a Bruins game you don’t intend to watch. "
I guess he doesn’t realize we’re still getting the commercials!

Last year there were spring training game casts
They were just really hard to find. Wish i could find em now
So
Any thoughts about Tug Hulett? Just his name could endear him to the fans, and he just needs to hit .280 and draw a passable amount of walks, and he will be coined a scrappy player
He's always had power.
Just had a problem putting it in the air till last year. He’s a 20-20 threat already, I’d say.
