April 9, home opener

[absintheofmalaise]

E5 must love that music.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

It's a good 45 seconds ahead of the MLB.tv feed.

Different camera than MLB.tv NESN feed too.

I hope everything is ok with Tito

 

[joe dokes]

Slinged Story....

 

[LogansDad]

Slinged Story....

Yep. Made me very sad.

 

[Hendu for Kutch]

I feel like the old crowd would have given Story a big ovation. Ya, it sucks that he's hurt again, but he got hurt busting ass for the team.

Likewise, and he did a great voice-over for the Tim Wakefield video tribute that played before the team intros.

Why is Casas wearing a navy long sleeve under the jersey? Should be red.

 

[tims4wins]

Was it Joe Buck for nearly 6 hours? Or perhaps Fox showing close ups of fans in mid ass-clench nervousness? Or what it was for me: The overwhelming sense of “how will the Sox f this up in the most horrific way” Percolating all game?

The most stressful ~72 hours of my life?

 

[mauidano]

Feel so bad for Trevor Story not being in the starting lineup for the home opener.

LFG!

 

[Curt S Loew]

Why is Casas wearing a navy long sleeve under the jersey? Should be red.

He's a rebel.

 

[mauidano]

He's different in all aspects.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Did they already honor the '04 team?

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

I miss Sherm Feller.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

I miss Sherm Feller.

I'm not a bad alternative.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

Did they already honor the '04 team?

I would imagine they'll be coming out soon - first pitch and all that.

 

[Ferm Sheller]

That big ass American flag never fails to disappoint. Always awesome seeing it.

 

[Jim Ed Rice in HOF]

A bit premature on the flyover guys. Need some more practice.

 

[mauidano]

Ohhh nice with the 2004 Banner behind the flag!

 

[mauidano]

A bit premature on the flyover guys. Need some more practice.

I always wonder how they can time that.

 

[LogansDad]

A bit premature on the flyover guys. Need some more practice.

That's probably going to be a 4 hour debrief.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

A bit premature on the flyover guys. Need some more practice.

One of the few times they didn’t nail it.

 

[RedOctober3829]

I got chills watching that '04 banner drop. G4-G7 ALCS were the 4 best days of my life pre-marriage/kids.

 

[Petagine in a Bottle]

Might need to close the door of my office, getting a little dusty in here.

Same here. What a whirlwind that was. Thank god I was a relatively young man at the time, not sure I could handle it now.

 

[mauidano]

Getting dusty in here.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

How do you not have any of the play by play calls in here and just music? Also no reaction noise from the Fenway crowd outside of 2 small boxes on Theo and Tek.

 

[joe dokes]

I watched that Schilling stumble in a Paris bar.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

It works for me

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

The choice of American Pie is because they needed a 8+ minute song for the montage, right? Great song but I'm not sure it quite fits the occasion.

Too cheap to pay the licensing.


(I AM KIDDING)

 

[canyoubelieveit]

Nice how they lined up "jester on the sidelines in a cast" with Schilling getting injured

...and "Jack be nimble, Jack be quick" with the Roberts steal!

 

[joe dokes]

Totally. They could have just used Tubular Bells, like they did for pre-playoff games video montages.

 

[Reverse Curve]

Tears...

 

[mauidano]

I am a fucking mess.

 

[NortheasternPJ]

Woof, the end got me.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Oh man......

 

[canyoubelieveit]

I'm moved. This is beautiful.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Whew

 

[Red(s)HawksFan]

Totally. They could have just used Tubular Bells, like they did for pre-playoff games video montages.

It does work for the Wake and Lucchino bits though. It is a mournful song, after all.

 

[simplicio]

The father son and holy ghost bit got me

 

[absintheofmalaise]

Anyone have some kleenex?

 

[LogansDad]

Bawling.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Those were some days. I definitely couldn't handle that ALCS week now.

 

[patinorange]

This Wakefield stuff. I can’t take it.

 

[PedroisGod]

I'm in tears at work.

 

[donutogre]

The father son and holy ghost bit got me

Yup.

 

[curly2]

That was beautiful. I cried.

 

[MetSox1]

really nice job on that. goodness.

 

[Dewey's 'stache]

The most stressful ~72 hours of my life?

Well we all made it through it right? Great ending I think
