    In the small world department. An exerpt from tomorrow's baseball notes in the Globe:
    MLB has some of the worst blackout restrictions. For Saturday's games (Fox) anything after a 4pm start is blacked out. For Sunday...anything 7pm or later is blacked out as well. You are lucky the game will be shown in local markets if that is the case.

      And the good fortune continues. Mariners score on Mo Rivera in the bottom of the twelfth. Let's hope that the Red Sox take better advantage of some Yankee stumbles than the Yankees took advantage of the Red Sox poor start.

        Nobody is watching Beckett vs. Verlander tonight. Guess the Memorial Cup final is it.

          Saturdays are the worst. Fox always has at least 2 games, and when they pick up the Red Sox, I almost always get the other game. Which means that even though I bought MLB.tv . . . no Red Sox for me.

            Well . . . VMart was never that great at throwing runners out when he was in BOS. Nice to see Red Sox taking advantage of that early.

            eta:

            I wrote that after 2 SBs in the first inning. Make it 4 now. The Boston Red Rays? Devil Sox?

              And interestingly enough, Crawford was not one of them. As he got about 76% of all his stolen bases against the Sox, I'm thinking his stolen base numbers are going to be low this season.

                They'll be lower, but Boston's SB allowed will be, too. And playing Tampa will be at least a little bit less annoying.

                Nice work by Clay to get out of that inning...

                  Looks like the offense might need to wake up again. Buchholz is doing well enough, but he's not lights-out today.

                  3-2 3-3

                  Looks like it'll be a bullpen battle for the win.

                    In case you're not watching, they announced that tonight's game is on NESN. Kills me to say this, but thank you ESPN.

                      Big Papi gives them the lead.
                      Now can Papelboom hold it??

                      I'm hoping I can watch it. I need a miracle.

                        No problem. Though having the bottom of the order didn't hurt.

                        That was big. Not that this win was easy, but tonight will be harder.

                          Right now, this team is as fun to watch as it was frustrating to watch the first couple of weeks of the season.

                            I wouldn't be so sure that they're going to get tonight's game in. There's a wall of storms coming across Michigan right now, and we're about 75 minutes from game time. There's an awful lot of green on the radar map. We just got through a tornado warning.

                            See for yourself, if this turns out okay

                              It looks like the front is just passing through A2 right now. Maybe a 7:45 start? 8?

                              Though I'm not going to cry if Boston misses Verlander.

                                OK - MLB Extra Innings is blacked out for non Boston / Detroit viewers.

                                BUT, and if MLB can explain this, please do, MLB.TV is good to go. Now for the rain to stop.
