A tie. What a great way to start off the (spring training) season. If I wanted to watch a tie I’d replay the 2003 all-star game, or just turn on a hockey game. Aside from the fact that today’s game was like kissing my sister, here are some thoughts:

• WRKO (the new flagship station of the Sox) should not be so desperate for advertisements that they sell radio space for a “natural male enhancement.” I get enough of that spam, I don’t need to hear about it during Sox games.
• I was pleasantly surprised with Glenn Geffner’s work on the air. Not the most exciting broadcast, but I could definitely understand what was going on. And his home run call doesn’t sound exactly like his shallow-fly ball out call. What a treat!
• It’s only one game, but Jacoby Ellsbury sounds damn impressive.
• By the same respect, Julian Tavarez sounds damn unimpressive.
• Alex Ochoa has a GUN. I hope his locker is next to Coco’s so something may rub off.

Tie or not, it’s good to have something to look forward to at 4pm.
