The Road to 28 Starts Tonight

Game #1: Yankees @ Red Sox

April 4, Fenway Park

8:05 start

Happy Easter everybody, back from the family function.  My first shot at blogging a game live, watching with Myerburg over a few beers and Cluck-U wings

8:10 first pitch of the 2010 season underway, Beckett throws a fastball inside to Jeter, 6-3 putout.  It’s good to be back.

8:12 gotta say I’m impressed with the new graphics for the YES Network, caught a sneak peek over at River Ave. Blues this afternoon.  After Jeter’s groundout, NJ’s flyout in front of the Green Monster, and Teixeira’s roller to first, Yanks are down in order, Boston coming to bat.

8:28 first Yankee hit and run, Posada turns on a Beckett fastball inside, hits halfway up the foul pole, which which means its a fair ball, 1-0 Yanks.

8:31 welcome to the Yanks, Curtis Granderson.  That’s back to back as he takes one deep to center, Yankees up 2-0

8:47 after a leadoff double to Youkilis, Ortiz moves him over to third, and scores on a sac fly by Beltre.  Nice leaping catch against the wall by Granderson, and as usual, YES shows the replay from 6 different angles.
