Re: MLB 2024

Nothing gets me more excited about the Red Sox than a 10:10 pm opening day following an off-season where the one significant signing is already out for the season and the one significant trade return is injured.

At least my friend opened a bar by Fenway, so I got that going for me.

In the Oakland game, I thought the ball did hit the NC State guys pinkie, but I thought it happened before the ball left the Oakland guy's hand. Not one announcer mentioned that though.
