Cutch in RF because of Reynold's injury. I hope the fans cheer him well.

Doc or Surg,
Please keep us updated on the fan's response to protests and boos as the team is introduced before the game. I don't trust the announcers let anything Nutting does not like to be mentioned or heard.

No more free week from Xfinity. Not buying it for this team.

I'm not sure if Pirate fans get nasty???? I also would like to know if the boobirds start up on opening day. I remember the "walk out" game where very few walked out. I recall the Bucs were leading at that moment.

Watching the pregame show. The guy who sang the national anthem was bad and he stretched it out as long as he could. When the players were introduced, Holderman was booed, Pham was booed, and Shelton was unmercifully booed.

Best moment was Mark Fogel (the teacher who had been a prisoner on Russia) throwing out the first pitch wearing a Clemente uniform shirt.

Thanks for the info Bobster.

Sorry, Possum. Our cable package does not include the TV broadcasts, and I refuse to listen to games on the radio when Joe Block is doing the play-by-play. I follow the games on MLB's Gameday, where they pick-up the proceedings when the first pitch is made. Besides, Gameday doesn't carry the audio of the games. I follow in blissful silence.

Ugh! That'd make me want to stay in the dugout. I will say, though, the way the grass is cut is really interesting. It's probably meant to hypnotize the fans so they don't know what's happening.

The Yankees pick up a pair of runs in the second. Cruz has made another error, compounded by a lazy throw to second that allowed the runner to just slide in safely.
