    Hi all! I’m at work…and about to scoot outta here to get home and watch some much needed OPENING DAY baseball!

    Can’t wait for a little Joshie Beckett fix and it’ll be here in less than an hour. Whoo to the hoo!

    I’m soooooooo ready for the game. Well, I’m stuck at work and hope to see some of the game when I get home.

    I want to see Beckett flat out kick ass today.

    Hey everyone Won’t be able to be in here for the whole game. My laptop died and this computer is away from the TV room. Anyone haveing major issues w/ NESN? The video feed died on us and we’re not getting anything.

    Ah, Opening Day. :)

    And now I’m conflicted: Watch the Sox game or watch the Giants game? Gahh, I hate making choices like those.

    @Mac: Watch them both–I’ll do that once I get home. Primarily the Sox, but flip over during commercials. I’ll have both going on Gameday. I just *have* to see Lincecum and The Big Unit pitch this year.

    @jules: I’d do that, but I’m not near a tv that has CSN, so I’m just stuck with GameDay. And, mlb.tv isn’t working for me, so it looks like I’m going to be missing the game right now. D:

    Is there a problem with the MLB.tv sound feed? Or is it just my goofy computer?

    Yeah I’m not getting any sound either, SoxPhan. I was really excited to finally hear DO and Remy but there’s no sound

    Hey Angie…so now I’m getting sound on the Rays feed, but still no NESN. Harumph.

    Comcast is pissing me off now. I can get the audio on the NESNHD channel but I get nothing on the non- HD channel (no audio or video). I swear if I can’t watch the Bruins tonight there will be hell to pay.

    Thanks, SoxPhan!

    And yeah Dusty P! Although I missed when I was switching to the Rays feed.

    @Liza: I don’t know why it isn’t an official holiday.

    ARRG I hate Comcast. Anyone know where I can watch this online?

    @Erin: MLB.tv? Otherwise, I have no idea.

  19. 2009 April 7 at 4:17 pm
    Angie permalink

    Erin, you can watch it on mlb.tv if you have that. I agree Comcast is horrible. My cable goes out seriously every other week. I am definitely switching to Verizon

    @Liza: It SHOULD be a holiday. Goodness knows I’m worthless here, but I’m going to leave soon.

    PEDIE!

    @Mac: Me neither, seriously.

    Can I just say? I LOVE BASEBALL.

    I still don’t know why the Rays call Shields “Big Game” Shields. Just don’t get it.

  23. 2009 April 7 at 4:20 pm

    My mlb.tv NESN feed had no sound either or a loud screeching noise. I flipped over to the Tampa feed and it’s not Remy…but it’s baseball.

    So far…Beckett is spectacular and Pedey HR…and hits all around. Papi again with 1st to 3rd. WHOO HOOO!

    It’s BASEBALL!!!!!

    Whats really annoying about this is we get all the other channels fine. Is just NESN that we’re not getting

    Bay walks. Lowell up! Go Mikey!

  26. 2009 April 7 at 4:22 pm

    @jules: I think that nickname came from when he was in the minors….and he has a lot to do to live up to it in the majors.

    HOw about Big Game BECKETT…or Balls of STEEL Beckett….or GET OUT OF MY WAY OR I WILL CUT YOU BECKETT!

    Hey all…checking Gameday from work and S-M-I-L-I-N-G! I hope to catch the tail end of the game when I get home, but even if I don’t…GO SOX! :::grin:::

    @shelley1005: I heard that, too, but he hasn’t *earned* it in the majors.

    I like your nicknames for Beckett ;-). I’ve heard Commander Kick Ass. That has a ring to it, eh?

    BecKKKett, in four outs.

    Awwww…The Bat! I’m sad I can’t really root for him anymore.

  31. 2009 April 7 at 4:28 pm

    Listening to the Rays commentators is kind of annoying, but I am not going to complain….it’s BASEBALL!!

    Nice outing again Beckett…and Mazz said you needed to prove yourself…silly man!

    Looks like Commander Kick Ass is back in fine form…

    I LOVE BASEBALL!

    P.S.– Anyone watching using MLB.tv and having audio troubles?

  34. 2009 April 7 at 4:30 pm

    @Jane: Yep…I heard nothing. The Tampa feed comes up, so I switched to over there.

    Nevermind. I just scanned through the thread again. I’m on hold with tech support. Woof.

  36. 2009 April 7 at 4:31 pm

    @SoxPhan: Yes, he is. Love it!

    Beckett 16 pitches over TWO innings.

    Shields 27 pitches in ONE inning.

    My youngest child (age 5) is bouncing off the walls he’s so excited for Opening Day. He cried yesterday when I picked him up at preschool and told him that the game was postponed.

    @Kimd: ha! I’m 40 and had the same reaction to the news ;-)

  42. 2009 April 7 at 4:39 pm

    @Jane: Thanks Jane…I switched over. You’re my hero!

    I’m gonna be a complete girl for a moment. Josh Beckett has never done it for me. Great picture…but on the hotness factor…nah. But this year…god lord, he’s proving me wrong with his uncontained hotness. LOL

    Yay the sound of Orsillo and Remy is music to my ears

    I just tried to call customer service because I can’t log on and after being on hold for 5+ minutes, I receive a recorded message saying, “We are currently not accepting calls. Please try your call again later.” WHAT THE FRAK?

  45. 2009 April 7 at 4:41 pm

    @Angie: It is. I’ve never gotten mlb.tv before….and I am already glad I did.

    @Mac: Really? That SUCKS! Could you log in before today?

    @shelley1005: I just signed up for it last night. But I asked my brother if he could log on and it wasn’t working for him, either. Gahhh. *facepalm*

  47. 2009 April 7 at 4:43 pm

    @Mac: It just won’t let you log on or nothing happens when you do?

  48. 2009 April 7 at 4:44 pm

    @shelley1005: It won’t let me log on. It says I’m blacked out from the game. I don’t live in NE or Florida. I don’t get why that’s happening.

  49. 2009 April 7 at 4:45 pm

    Come on Beckster….get some outs…pwetty pwetty please!

    This inning is not as happy as the first two.
