After waiting\u00c2\u00a0impatiently for the best part of five months, the regular season is nearly upon us.<\/p>\n
The A’s-Red Sox game is scheduled to start at 10.05 GMT tomorrow (Tuesday) morning.\u00c2\u00a0 It promises to be an amazing occasion with Daisuke Matsuzaka, the prodigal son, pitching for Boston\u00c2\u00a0and Joe Blanton on the mound for Oakland.\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n
NASN subscribers can either\u00c2\u00a0watch the game live or\u00c2\u00a0tune in to\u00c2\u00a0a 2.5 hour-long repeat edition at 18.30.\u00c2\u00a0 MLB.com will provide full coverage via MLB.tv, Gameday Audio and the Gameday service.<\/p>\n
It’s going to be something of a staggered start this season, with\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0two games\u00c2\u00a0on\u00c2\u00a0Tuesday and Wednesday and then three days off before the Braves and the Nationals\u00c2\u00a0launch another year of Sunday Night Baseball on Five.<\/p>\n
Despite the opening series in Japan knocking things out of kilter, I will leave my predictions for the ’08 season until Saturday and Sunday.\u00c2\u00a0 (What is it with predictions, anyway?\u00c2\u00a0 We all get burned by them each year and yet we never learn our lesson.)\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0As a sneak preview,\u00c2\u00a0I’ll reveal that\u00c2\u00a0the Orioles will not be listed as my favourites for the AL East.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
