(Actually) Live from Opening Day

Dice-k. Detroit Tigers. World Series Ring Ceremony. Me.

What do these things all have in common? They are all at Fenway Park today for the opening day game of the 2008 season. Dice-K is pitching, the Tigers are looking to break their beaten streak (doubtful), the rings are being handed out before the game, and I'll be there to catch all the action.

Tradition dictates sushi for lunch. What a great day. Too bad it couldn't be about 10-15 degrees warmer...

Live from Opening Day

Its a beautiful day here in Japan. Ok, not in Japan. Boston. And its not exactly beautiful, it's really cold. Spring. Opening day. I just can't help thinking that when the games come back to Fenway it will be really cold.

As I write the Sox are up 6-4 in the top of the tenth. Hoping for an Okajima save to win this one and put it in the books (so I can get back to work). Keeping track of the game on the ESPN game cast thing was not working. So old stand by Yahoo sports works pretty well - just not the cool graphics of the game cast.

Go Sox!!

UPDATE: Sox win to remain in first place - thanks to Manny "the Man" Ramirez and newcomer Brandon Moss (JD Who?). Hot dogs and beer for dinner. Here's to an undefeated season!
