Sunday night game will NOT be televised, because ESPN Sunday Night game holds exclusivity rights

[italstallianion]

I guess I'll have something to do all day on Sunday now. Sweet.

[Dipre]

I will be in attendance for both games tomorrow. I am very excited about it.

Whaaaaat. Is this legit?

[CX360]

Whaaaaat. Is this legit?

 

Yes.

 

Sox-Tigers postponed, moved to tomorrow night, no TV coverage due to ESPN blackout rule. Now Sox fans know how fans of everyone else feels?

That's a ******** tweet. It's not like Red Sox fans except national coverage of all games. We prefer NESN coverage.

Red Sox are 1.5 games ahead of Yankees. If the Sox, hypothetically, win both games today, how many games will we be ahead -- 3.5?? That'd be sweet...

[RedSoxfanforlife305]

Any lead is sweet but no lead is safe. Lets keep streaking.

[Jasonbay44]

Wait so the 2nd game isnt on Nesn,extra innings or anything?

[Jasonbay44]

Also, IOrtiz, I think you are supposed to make a new game thread for Todays game.

[redsoxbeatz]

Any lead is sweet but no lead is safe. Lets keep streaking.

 

well yeah... but it'll be 3.5, yah?

It better or I'm going to be pissed.

Pre-game notes from Detroit

DETROIT — A few notes from our pre-game session with Terry Francona:

 

• Marco Scutaro will be examined by team doctor Tom Gill tomorrow to determine if he can take batting practice on the field.

 

• Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is in Japan, communicated with head athletic trainer Mike Reinold and said he was feeling better and has improved range-of-motion. Matsuzaka is scheduled to be checked out by Dr. Lewis Yocum this week.

 

The Red Sox believe his injury can be remedied by rest and rehab.

 

• Bobby Jenks will throw an inning for Pawtucket today, no more than 25 pitches. That should conclude his rehab assignment.

 

• With three games in a span of 48 hours, Francona will use guys like Drew Sutton and Josh Reddick for at least one game.

 

•It's nice right now in Detroit but more storms are said to be rolling in.

 

• As of right now, the second game will not be televised as ESPN has so far refused to grant a waiver. It is likely the Red Sox are trying to get that reversed. We'll let you know if it changes.

If the Yankees lost an we won both we would be up 3 not 3.5. If we win both we are up at least 2 no matter what the Yankees do.
