Blogging from the press box – Josh Rawitch

This is a first, I’m sure. We’ve never posted a blog from the press box, but we were running around this morning getting everything set and fortunately, it all went off without a hitch. There were a few small changes, like our anthem singer coming down with laryngitis, but Darius Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish filled in and did a great job.

Of course, there was a lineup change after what we posted yesterday. Nomar came down with a strained right intercostal muscle, so we had to move Olmedo Saenz into the lineup, but we’re hoping Nomar will be able to get back in the lineup soon.

Back to the game duties. More later today…

    Well… what a difference 10 minutes make. Good offensive inning. What an at-bat by Bill Mueller!! Now Lowe’s out of the game and now it’s up to the bullpen to hold the Braves. Let’s hope the Derek Lowe uses this time to reflect on what went wrong and how to correct it.

    From what I read He (Lowe) was pitching even though he was under the weather. The guy is a money pitcher you don’t have to bash ‘um just ‘cuz of this one bad outting! Tomorrow is another day.

    The big blue wrecking crew!

    Hey Josh:
    A couple of things from opening day,

    1. No media guides, when will they be available for purchase?

    2. There should have been signs posted at the parking entrances that umbrellas are not allowed in the stadium, would have avoided lots of confusion.

    3. I understand that MTA is going to make shuttle service available, will there be an announcement about that in the near future?

    Thanks for the chance to communicate these things to you.
