TRIVIA: 4:06

Written on April 6th, 2009 by Evan Brunell420310 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/06/trivia-406.htmlTRIVIA%3A+4%3A062009-04-06+20%3A52%3A20Evan+Brunell

Why is the starting time for Opening Day tomorrow specifically 4:06 PM? (And not, say, 4:00 or 4:05.)

Red Sox Madness: Championship Monday

Written on April 6th, 2009 by Tim Daloisio42024 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/06/red-sox-madness-championship-monday.htmlRed+Sox+Madness%3A+Championship+Monday2009-04-06+16%3A59%3A09Tim+Daloisio

The rain may have postponed Opening Day, but I look at it as a blessing in disguise. I mean, how could you really expect to start the season without having properly named the 2009 Red Sox Madness Champion.

Votes will be tabulated tomorrow morning and a winner crowned before first pitch.

Whose success is more important to the overall success of the 2009 Boston Red Sox, Josh Beckett or Dustin Pedroia?

Er… strike that, game postponed

So much for my joy at Opening Day. Although it was going to rain buckets, I was excited to head in for the game. Alas, Larry Lucchino just appeared on WEEI and said the game has been postponed until 4:05 PM ET tomorrow. Since I’m having surgery tomorrow, I won’t be able to make it, but I’ll be there in spirit, boys!

At long last, Opening Day is here

Finally. Opening Day is here.

On this day, every team has cause to feel optimistic — even those that know they have no chance of making the playoffs. This is where the silver lining of every team comes into play. It’s the cleanest day of baseball games across the entire season: no problems, no issues, just finally getting out in front of a crowd, playing meaningful baseball in the march for October.
