I had no idea of the fact that Verlander does not have a win on opening day, 5 straight years....interesting.

I'll say this, I was furious when I saw Verlander get pulled, but Bobby Valentine did an AWFUL job with the bullpen. It was really sad.

I've never seen Verlander live look as solid as he was today. Amazing

Dominated today! Hope this leads to an even better year than last year!

Hopefully Fister has just as good of a game Saturday. I'll be at the game, if someone hits a homer to right field, I'll have a chance to get it!

I forgot to add last night about the player introductions, it was pretty funny.

Lamont and Inge were the only ones to get boo'd. Lamont has the larger percentage of boo's, but the Inge boo's were louder. Where I was I couldn't really hear cheers, but people said in came across the TV at a 60:40 boos to cheers clip.

Red Sox Bull Pen appears to be a bit weak...but it is a long season see what happens

They're missing their ace closer

Andrew Bailey getting hurt is really bad for them. I was shocked to see Padilla as the first guy out of their bullpen. I think their bullpen will really hurt them.
