What an awesome home opener. Bill Buckner throwing out the first pitch was a nice touch (1986 was always McNamara’s fault), although I did like the poster on Boston Sports Media Watch who suggested that the correct thing to have done was for Buckner to come out and for McNamara to come out and replace him with Dave Stapleton…
As for the game itself… Dice-K looks like he’s found his groove - the thought of Dice and Josh Beckett fighting to be #1 excites me no end. I suppose nationalists and xenophobes will call for the Sox to keep playing in America, since all the losses came in Japan and Canada.
