The game is on WSBK, and will be carried on NESN outside of the Boston area.

Bronson Arroyo is pitching for Boston against Eric Milton.

It's my birthday, Bronson. Do me proud!

Predictions for tonight

-Red Sox will win 5-1
-Bronson will pitch well, not exactly unhittable stuff, but well enough
-Manny and Trot will crank one out
-Milton will suck ass
-no errors will be made
-the one run for the Reds will come on a freak error by Youks

I am confused, are you drinking on your b day? Can't wait to get a first look at Bronson tonight.

holy contradiction...okay I'll go fix that...

-no error will be made
-the only run that will be scored will be on a passed ball

there...all better(I'd edit but I can't cuz I'm not a supporter)

Happy Birthday PTH,

I hope your day is going great and Arrow and the rest of the team make you happy.

Here is to you, girl:

Good to see Milton starting where he left off....

Damn game starts at 6:05, I tune in at 6:07 and it's 2-0. Who jacked one of Milton?

Why is that pitching machine wearing a Milton jersey?

Ok, when you're a lefty and Trot rips one off of you, you're in trouble.

Vazquez took Milton deep with Payton on.

Got that one already.

hey Millar, you are lucky this is spring training or I would have been pissed off on your poorly throw to 2nd base!

Where is Pet a genie?

He was playing at the other game today in Ft Myers.

Manny up with the bases loaded (PH for Bronson) with 2 out.

Edit: Basehit, 2 runs score. (1 unearned)

Nice at bat by HanRam, taking a pitch inside to the opposite field for a 2 RBI single. He fell behind but remained patient.

What a bummer! I always get the NESN feed when WSBK covers it and im not today. Now the satellite thinks my account is in Boston, but I get the Seattle locals and not the Boston ones so im outta luck with it. So who knows. I hope this isnt going to be the norm all year when WSBK does the games.

The game is supposed to be on NESN outside of Boston but someone screwed up at Directv. They're showing fishing instead(even though the guide says Boston-Cinncinatti). At least the Cinncinatti radio feed is working.

Listening on (Cincy) radio...
Was it Hanley or Manny that had the RBI single? I think I heard "Manny" but I could be wrong.

It was Hanley. He pinch hit for Arroyo.

Oops, I guess that's what you get for listening to out of town radio

What inning is it? I think it's 5-5.

The 2 run single was by Hanley.

someone named "Belliard" is batting for Boston?

Apparently, he's the first baseman.

He's trying to say "Millar" I'm almost positive. Considering he's almost definitely half-in-the-bag, I'd say he's pretty close all things considered.

I heard a coherent sentence - "at the end of 4 it's 5 to 5".
Wilson has struck out 3. I assume it was his 2nd inning.

It looks like the starting lineup was Payton, Vasquez, Manny, Millar, Nixon, Mirabelli, Youkilis, ? , Arroyo.

Awesome catch of Youkilis's flying bat by a woman in the stands. And Mirabelli steals 2nd (!). Remy: "He'll be talking about that for a month."

And it's that freaky Ben Webber pitching. Looks like he doesn't have the same extreme windup pump as before.

Still 5-5 at the bottom of the 5th.

Luis Mendoza pitching the 5th.
Arroyo gave up 3 runs in the first 2 innings but there were 2 Sox errors so they may not have all been earned.

Mendoza has a 1-2-3 5th. I think that's his first spring appearance.

Whatever it was, Millar is in the game at first now.

Still tied at five in the 6th.

Sanchez seems to be on the verge of collapse

Sanchez, our 4th pitcher, gives up a homerun in bottom of 6th.

Malaska pitches bottom of 7th.

The Cincy announcers are laughing about their inability to pronounce names.

As in the 1st game, Malaska managed to get out of the inning without giving up a run(2 walks).

Malaska also pitching the 8th. Almost all our position players now aren't on the 40 man roster.

Of the 12 pitchers we used today, only Bausher and Mendoza pitched well.

Malaska gets out of another jam in the 8th.

6-6

Home Run by Bailey. Nice!

Jess Bailey hits a homerun to tie the game in the 9th. Number 80.

Lombard singles(I've actually heard of him)and steals 2nd.
Tim Hummel at the plate.

Lombard steals 2nd. 1 out .

Hummel walks and the immortal Brandon Moss steps to the plate with 2 on nobody out.

Moss hits double down the line to score Hummel. Sox ahead 7 to 6.

Somebody just knocked in another run. They've stopped giving them names.

8 to 6 Boston going to the bottom of the 9th. I don't think Cincy expected to have to send a pitcher out there in the bottom of the 9th.
