Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls...

...welcome to Fenway Park.*

I would be remiss in my obligations to Red Sox Nation if I didn't
commemorate this date, April 2, 2007 as the official date of the Red Sox 2007 Major League Baseball campaign.

Go Sox.

*(The public address reference at the head of the his post was for effect only. I realize the game is in Kansas City today. I realize this because next Tuesday, when those words are actually spoken for the first time, I'll be sitting at Fenway Park, awaiting Josh Beckett's first pitch).
