Will it be Rocket Launch or Rocket Failure?
Clemens vs. Contreras
I agree
Play Ball!

My money's been on the Sox. They just seemed to be on a roll. Let's see if they kept their momentum during their days off.
5 minutes in and already I've had to mute the TV feed. Anyone have a good radio feed? Usually MLB blocks all but pay outlets.
Try and get a tape of the 2002 Salt Lake City winter olympics opening ceremonies...The Mormon Tabernacle Choir rendered the most spine tingling rendition I have ever heard. The time and place in context of course added much to the moment.
First pitch - it's on!
Go Astros!
Thanks :) I'm going to root for the other Sox (since ours are not playing this time) as a sentimental choice.
I don't know if I can take McCarver and Buck for another week.
I agree. Josh Groban is AWESOME!
Wonder if they'll have a live rendition of Take Me Out to the Ballgame by a certain jazz-rock band that named themselves after the city? After all, it is "Saturday...in the
(ball)Park"...
Darn. I missed it. Did Josh do the National Anthem?
...and may our RED Sox be back in the World Series NEXT year! :o)
If you have a stereo or portable radio nearby try your local ESPN radio affiliate. If the one in your city doesn't have a strong signal (which is the case in Boston) there are some distant stations that do well, like WBAL 1090/Baltimore
My daughter went to school with Josh for three years at the Los Angeles County High School for the Arts. A good kid.
I'm glad Jeff Bagwell is the DH for the Astros tonight. It may backfire - hard to believe Jason Lane isn't in the lineup - but for just one game it can't be fatal to the Stros chances. Bagwell DESERVED this treatment and, I think, will come through.
Yes, Josh did an absolutely incredible rendition of the Nat'l Anthem. I would've pinged you immediately, but I didn't know he was doing it. I almost missed it myself, I had just gotten off the phone...
Nothing for the Stros in the first. Let's get the Rocket off to a good start.
To the bottom of the first.
Wonder if the Red Sox will wind up with Brian Cashman as GM, and Theo Epstein goes to Yankees or another team that needs
a GM?
Where will some Red Sox wind up...Manny says he wouldn't mind playing for Ariz., Anaheim, or even back in Cleveland
New schedule out. Red Sox get to play NL East including Washington Nationals, and Pedro and the Mets.
Clemens won't need to bat tonight, though he does get the ocassional hit in the NL parks (got one in playoffs).
