Opening Day

1. Matsusaka can't find the plate, and thus Rick Reed has a small strike zone.

2. The anime-like ball girls are a good addition.

3. Dale Arnold sounds ok. He resisted the urge for a home run call on a seemingly deep drive by Pedroia that died in right-center field.

4. Note to Bono and The Edge: If you are not getting royalties from the State Street commercials, you need a new copyright lawyer.

[update]

5. How do you like Manny now?

6. Dale Arnold did a good job. He gets a little tripped up when the runners are moving, but Joe C seems fully engaged [as opposed to his obvious disgust for the sound stylings of Glenn Geffner]
