I was all prepared to “live blog” Red Sox Opening Day.
Then I realized two things:
1 – every Red Sox fan is going to be doing the same thing. So why just be one of the masses?
2 – there is a 98% chance I’ll still be asleep when the game starts. And possibly still asleep when it ends.
I really want to get up at 6am to watch the game – but in all honesty, that probably won’t happen. Have a Sam Adams Light and a hot dog at 7:30 – tempting, but no thanks. I’ll probably dvr it – and watch it in the afternoon.
I’m pretty excited about baseball this year – and mainly because I’m excited about the Red Sox. I really think they can win the championship again this season. I wrote about it in detail on johnnymets site. Its worth a click – and not to ring my own bell – but its a pretty good read. You can read it HERE. While you’re at it – click around on that site. Johnny is a huge Mets fan, but even if you aren’t – its good stuff – and I’ll be referencing it several times here on the Orange Couch.
So – as I write this – Opening Day is less than 12 hours away. But with the game being in Japan, it doesn’t feel like it. Maybe once tomorrow comes, I’ll feel different.
Go Red Sox.

The t-shirt is from amazon.com – you can buy your own for less than $20. The description says: this T-shirt features ‘Red Sox’ written in Japanese. But really – do you really know that? It could say “baked beans” for all I know. Then you’re strutting around town with a “baked beans” shirt.
