2008 Season Underway
Joe Blanton starts the season by throwing a strike to Dustin Pedroia. Dustin bounces the second pitch slowly up the middle, just out of the reach of a diving Crosby to start the season with a single.
Update: Blanton pitches a strong inning. Youkilis grounds out to third on a ball that Hannahan bobbled, preventing a double play. Ortiz pops out and Manny flies out to foul territory in right to end the inning. Joe throws ten pitches, eight for strikes.
