Happy Opening Morning! I know for sure I am not going to get up to watch this game.

I did a double take on this, This game is getting DVRed

am I out of line to be pissed that Americas past time is starting outside of America? Add in the fact that the fans of both teams probably won't be up to watch the game unless they get up early. If the Brewers ever played over there to start the season and I had to be up at 5 am to watch them Id be even more pissed than I am now. Sorry for the rant, I just don't like it.

you're definately not the only one jason...im very much against it..how long has this been in the works for and also is it boston because of dicek and okajima? besides the different culture/timezones/stadium etc this is pretty much a home game for boston.

RF JD Drew scratched from BOS lineup... Moss in for him in drew's lineup spot.

 

and Pedroia has the first hit of the 2008 season with a bouncer up the middle past a diving Crosby.
