So It Begins

The baseball season opened this evening with a ratings-capturing matchup between the Red Sox and the Yankees at Fenway Park. After spending all day at the office, I rode home through driving rain to arrive in the middle of the fourth inning, where Pica was listening to the game on ESPN radio, the Red Sox down 5-1. But the Red Sox came from behind twice to end up winning 9-7. Not a pitcher’s duel, this game, both starters Josh Beckett and C.C. Sabathia being chased out fairly early. A good start to the baseball year. The Giants open their season tomorrow in Houston with Tim Lincecum going against Roy Oswalt.
