Gee, I wonder if this game thread will garner any attention....
Got the Tivo fired up for this one.
I'm waiting to see if it's actually possible to log in to MLB TV today...have a feeling there might be one or two people trying to connect at the same time...

I bought beer for this. Well, really I just wanted an excuse to drink, but whatever. Couldn't find Asahi though. I only went to a small store.
Do they sell Asahi at bigger liquor stores?
I love the fact its only on for an hour

Do I have AADD? Have I had too much coffee?
Or is something else going on today?

Anyone watching on NESN HD having sound issues? Mine keeps making nasty little noises and its hurting my ears and speakers. I am watching on regular nesn for now.

Please provide a pitch by pitch for those of us with no access to the game. I want to know speeds and pitch choices and results for every one of Dice-K's pitches. Along with color analysis. 
Oh man, what a waste of money. He gave up a double to a college hitter. It's gonna be a long season.
Dice......K
First strike out with the Sox, followed by the second. Inning over, runner stranded at third. Boo yah.

baseballchannel.tv (link on MLB front page) is showing the NESN feed when Matsuzaka is pitching.
Man he looks good.

I'd hit it.
Dice K looking great. Lots of strikes.
Love how NESN's cameras were focused on Matsuzaka-san while Bailey hit the homer.
His reaction was great.

How much does Moss weigh? Looks like a stiff breeze would knock him out of the basepaths. He makes David Murphy look like David Wells.
6'0", 180 lbs. according to the 40 man roster on the Sox web site.

Edit- Screw you rominer.
Rogers never got tagged on the dropped strikeout...
Nice triple for Ellsbury, showing off that speed. I have to say that if they were facing a major league defense, that *might* get cut off and Pedroia's double in the first is caught

Too bad Ellsbury can't run. That could have been an inside the park home run.

Brandon and Kate Moss, seperated at birth?
MLB.com is now carrying the NESN feed (for those with MLB.tv), so no need to watch the talk radio crap on baseballchannel.tv.

"Kate Moss: snorting her weight in coke since 1985"
Matsuzaka on his outing. "I wanted to see where I stand... It was so so."
"I spoke to Varitek before the game, and he told me this umpire is from another country. So after I pitched he told me some of my pitches should be strikes in standard American leagues."
"We selected pitches as we went through the game rather than planning them ahead."
Edit- That's all paraphrased, but almost exact.

These interviews through translators are so awkward. It's actuslly rather hilarious.
Crap, just got back from class and missed Dice-K. Oh, well, that's what archives are for.
Now that Dice-K's out of the game, I'm kinda rooting for BC, though. Am I nuts?

I've had 10 ibuprofen in the last 12 hours. The only thing talking is my drug overdose. And it STILL hurts.
Oh, man, NESN cut it off! Screw them.
The radio says that Julian Tavarez looked good against the college kids.
Excuse me. "Pitched well."
Although, it was radio. Tavarez looks great on radio.

Yes.
It might be a long year knowing that Castiglione is the charismatic one in the booth.
Nick DeBarr looked sharp against college competition. 2 good innings from the guy with 4 k's.
Means nothing, I know, but I thought that the Rule 5 guy deserved some a attention since he might be on the roster like Dinardo was in '04.

They're going to replay tonight's Matsuzaka outing tomorrow at 4pm on NESN. Just FYi.....
Does anyone have a box score from the game? My friends boyfriend is on the team but I want to know if he played/how he did.
MLB doesn't keep boxscores for the exhibition games against college teams, as they are not "Grapefruit League games". The Globe had a box score in print this morning, but it is not on-line so I can't link it.

Oh, I should have figured. I'll go look in the Globe, thanks.

It's not posted yet, but I'm guessing that one will eventually turn up here.
The replay of Daisuke's outing is on NESN right now.
I was able to find a boxscore in a format I can copy here!
