  7. Yeah, I don't have an antenna or anything in the house and my MLB.tv sub doesn't kick in until T-Mobile offers their free promotion just before OD.
  8. Nailed it. Szczur.
  9. I'm going to give this thread some time to fester on its own but I'll make sure the game two thread is up this afternoon.
  10. An interesting piece from one of our writers on Talk Sox. The Tokyo Series played its first game, kicking off the 2025 MLB season. Let's look at how a shared love of baseball has brought together Japan and the United States. Baseball's Effect on Japan-United States Relations - Red Sox - Talk Sox TALKSOX.COM With the Japan Series beginning tomorrow, a look at how baseball has shaped and deepened the ties between Japan and the US.
  11. Annnnnd the game is over. Damn it.
  12. Ah, I can preview the game for an hour in a browser on the Fox Sports site.
  13. Just waking up and discovered there's no way for me to watch this game!

  15. This is such a fantastic read! And ridiculous! https://blogs.fangraphs.com/plop-it-thirty-poems-about-the-new-era-overlap-hats/
