After not one, but two rainouts, and finally a merciful postponement of the scheduled 'Opening Day' game, the home opener at Fenway finally happened after the skies cleared and the sun came out over Fenway... for a little while.

But wait just a second, this wasn't an everyday game at Fenway. The plate ump gets hit in the face [mask] by a Pedro pitch, suffers some pain in his spine and is rushed to the hospital. And if that wasn't scary enough, the third base coach has a diabetic seizure on the field and also rushed to the hospital. But we're still not done, folks. Pedro gets knocked around in the worst outing of his career and then is serenaded with scattered boos as he leaves the field in the fifth.

and the Red Sox fan will some how blame this on the Yankees.

Nope. No blame for the Yankees at all, actually. Had a great outing today. Lowe looks fantastic, Wake did great in some work out of the 'pen. Hillenbrand made a couple of great defensive plays.
