The Boston @ Oakland @ Tokyo Opening Day(s) 2008 Official Thread

Green & Gold Heart · 03-24-2008, 08:17 AM

Just getting this ready now in case I'm too groggy to start it at game time in 21 hours.

Green & Gold Heart · 03-24-2008, 08:32 AM

Just checked and I do get ESPN2 in HD!

But the game doesn't have the little HD logo next to it in the guide.

Faroo6 · 03-24-2008, 12:18 PM

I love the A's but I'm not getting up at 3am to watch

edog23 · 03-24-2008, 12:44 PM

I thought about it. 3 in the morning is just too early for us west coast guys. It's replayed at 11am on the deuce which means I'd have to DVR it either way because I'm working. Thanks MLB.

mikev · 03-24-2008, 01:48 PM

I'll be up.

towerofpower · 03-24-2008, 02:46 PM

ahh...living on the east coast (just a few miles from Boston) and being unemployed ensure that I'll be able to catch this game in all it's glory. Looking forward to seeing the reception for Dice-K and Okijima.

rem · 03-24-2008, 02:49 PM

I am going to try and get up for it.

kenyan_cheena · 03-24-2008, 09:13 PM

I get to sit back and watch both games live at 9pm Oz time.

Green & Gold Heart · 03-24-2008, 09:28 PM

5 a.m. is only an hour earlier than I normally get up, so I should have no problem. I'm looking forward to it. I'll set my alarm but I wouldn't be surprised if I wake up even earlier from excitement.

I may just stay up all night to watch the game, being unemployed and living in NYC. It's not like I can sleep at nights anyways.

Don't you have a job interview to go to?

Nope. March has been a bad month.

I'm beginning to warm to the idea of games in Japan...

In fact the entire 2008 season should be played in Japan with 19:05 starts as it means I'd be able to watch from 10am local time

Must go and buy my MLB.tv subscription now...

Green & Gold Heart · 03-25-2008, 04:51 AM

I'm ready! As expected, I didn't need the alarm.

DirecTV?

Because ESPN2 doesn't even f*cking work right now.

I'm absolutely livid.

atarizx3 · 03-25-2008, 05:07 AM

rem · 03-25-2008, 05:08 AM

ESPN2 is down for me too. Thankfully I have ESPN2 in HD.

Tony M · 03-25-2008, 05:18 AM

This is so civilised... the sun is streaming through the window. I'm working and watching baseball

Go Sox!!!

Dice-K on a no-hitter so far
