HOME OPENER. RING CEREMONY. ‘Nuff said.
Use the comments to this entry as your own personal Gameday open thread. These open threads have been fun so far – so I’ll keep ‘em up as long as y’all are interested in having them.
I absolutely hate the fact that I am working right now. At least NESN is rebroadcasting tonight!
Those rings are huge. Any idea how much one cost?
Them rings are purty
Bill Buckner is throwing out the first pitch.

You know, if I were superstitious, I’d be trembling right now. That’s just wrong.
It would be awesome if he’d turn around backwards and roll it to home plate between his legs.
That would be incredibly amazing. I doubt he will though. Let’s just hope that, if someone tosses him a ball, he’ll catch it. Of all the days to get called into work, it had to be this one.
Good luck Sox boys.
Just heard that Big Papi saw the ring prototype and asked for more bling.
Why does that not surprise me?
The Red Sox have been very good at honoring the past. Like him or not, he’s part of the past.
forget this pre-game show shit, bring on the bling.
Ahem, I don’t consider Bill throwing out the first pitch goosebump-worthy.
**bad fan**

Sorry, don’t know why that posted twice. Buckner-itis?
I’m with you on that sentiment Starr
Goosebump worthy would have been Jordan Leandre throwing it out or Ted Williams being unfrozen to throw it out.
A few more minutes, Ian, a few more minutes!
I’m impatient Jules.
THAT WAS AN AWESOME SHORT PIECE
Secondly, NESN standard definition shows different ads than the NESN HD feed.
Agreed. Ted Williams, reanimated, woulda been spectacular.
I do apologize for those of you at work for my excitedness today. And i’m so excited, I’m making up words.
COUGH COUGH that’s what i’d be telling my boss right now.
Seeing the pregame makes me want to be there!
Oh Canada!
All those flags are amazing.
Ian, be in the exciting moment.
I can only speak for myself, but it’s not like I’m totally, 100% focused on the work today.
If this is monitored, I’m being productive! Really. I am.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
I like how they cut away to the players in the dugout, while they tried to get the banner under control.
DUDE. All the teams and trophies are there! Unbelievable!
Now this is goosebump worthy
BRUUUSCHI!
He’s a local boy.

Thanks starr! I’ll put up video later – although I’d bet NESN will have all of it as well.
Why aren’t they calling out the guys’ names??
Tek comes out to Superman’s Theme. OF COURSE.
Seeing Tek get his ring reminds me of the video of him measuring his toe. That was funny.
DOUGIE!!!!!!!!!!
Josh gets Indiana Jones’ theme. HEE.
Does Brian Daubach still have terrible facial hair?
YOUK to Bond. heheehee
Can I say how happy I am that Mike is back in a Sox uni this year (and the next two)?!?!?!
Star Wars music for Manny
I’m so sad I can’t watch. I was going to take my lunch late and go watch it in a cafe or something on campus, but I had to take it early today!
Star Wars victory march for Manny.
Whoever set all this up is GENIUS. This is perfect.
Oh, those planning meetings must have been fun; matching up players to songs. Darn.fun.work.
As an aside, why is everyone in the office now stopping by to request info and set up meetings? Why now? :0
Pirates of the Carribbean theme for the bullpen. BRILLIANT.
Agreed: The music is fun and must’ve been a blast to plan.
starr4: yankee fans? ha
Shipping Up To Boston for Paps. Of course. And he’s so modest, too.
OMG! Shipping up to Boston for Pap.
Just.made.my.day.
Dirty Water for Papi. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
Perfect. just perfect!
Did they show Dice -K getting his ring?
