Hey guys, it's a morning game on the fake Massachusetts holiday, the excuse to drink in the morning, PATRIOTS DAY. Meaning we got an 11:05 AM EST game against the Mariners. And I get to miss it all to be in school.

Mariners Pitcher
Gil Meche (1-0, 6.75 ERA)

Red Sox Pitcher
Lenny Dinardo (0-0, 3.38 ERA) (First start of 2005)

it's school vacation week for me...it's early cause of the marathon...I made the mistake of going to a game on Patriot's Day once...Tim Raines hit 3 homers for the White Sox and Frank Thomas hit one, too.

That sucks, I got class at 11:30. Oh well, I'll catch the end of it.

[Fishercat]

Yeah, big day in Boston. People puke their guts out running 26.2 miles, people scream their brains out in a good (during the game) and bad (before/after) the Sox game, and the rest of the people dull their brains down with some delicious alcohol, or so they say

[Porter]

Im working at the time, ill miss it too.

[Fishercat]

Yay for another questionable call leading directly to victory!

[MarinersFan87]

Not sure what you are refering to?

If it was the Youk call I thought he was clearly safe.

[Fishercat]

All I heard was that the Youk call was questionable.

[MarinersFan87]

It was a great play by Lopez, he dove and quickly made the throw, but I think Youk had it beat, it was a tie, at worst.

[Providence A's]

yea, unlike Richie tagging Varitek yesterday

as if the Sox need any more breaks/advantages considering they have the #2 payroll

Great game for Loretta getting his first homer in a Boston uniform. He is a nice pick up.

Agreed. He really came up big for us today.

Sounded like a good game. Too bad no one on the west coast saw it.
