So I've decided to live-blog the PawSox opener tonight. This would bring my live-blogging total to two Major League games, one Major League exhibition game featuring Minor Leaguers (including Jed Lowrie, Dusty Brown and Brandon Moss), two Arizona Fall League games and one Minor League game. It is clear what my priorities are. ( These are my previous ( Read more... )

...no, I'm not. I shouldn't delude myself.

Brandon is in the lineup again today. Jacoby has been switched out with Coco for now.

Top of the First:

And Dustin is here to lead off once again! Except today, instead of singling, he does something he never does - strikes out. In my happy little ( Read more... )

YAY! Here we go! I normally don't live-blog without Gameday (I can keep up with that more easily), but this is Opening Day. In Tokyo, Japan. It's sort of...mandatory this time around.

Only downside to this game being on TV? It's the day they chose to make my favorite prospect in the whole world temporarily inactive. Maybe I'll see civilian Jed in ( Read more... )

Why am I awake? There is baseball about to happen. Regrettably, there is no audio for this one, so I got up at six to...watch Gameday. Wow. On that note, let's make this a live-blog! I can't live-blog live-action games, because I tend to get sidetracked and type too much, but Gameday goes slowly enough for me that I can keep up.

I have arrived during the top of the second. Nothing much happened during the first, as the score is tied at 0-0 as I start this write-up. Thus, we shall pick up the game from where I have: with two outs and men on first and third for Peoria in the top of the second.

Sox prospects in this game:
Jed Lowrie (2B, yay! I love second basemen...)
