It looks like the Red Sox have an opening day roster lined up. It's still not official but from what I can tell, the 26 man roster for opening day is:

Catchers	Christian Vázquez
	Kevin Plawecki
1st base	Bobby Dalbec
2nd base	Kiké Hernandez
ShortStop	Xander Bogaerts
3rd base	Rafael Devers
Utility	Marwin Gonzalez
	Christian Arroyo
Outfield	Franchy Cordero
	Alex Verdugo
	Hunter Renfroe
DH	J.D. Martinez
Starters	Eduardo Rodriguez (on the DL)
	Nathan Eovaldi
	Garrett Richards
	Martín Pérez
	Nick Pivetta
	Tanner Houck (until Rodriguez comes off the DL)
Relievers	Matt Barnes
	Adam Ottavino
	Hirokazu Sawamura
	Darwinzon Hernandez
	Josh Taylor
	Matt Andriese
	Garrett Whitlock
	Austin Brice
	Phillips Valdez

That is a pretty good roster and as long as they can keep the injuries to a minimum, they should be a pretty formidable ball club.

And yes, I know I've listed 27 players but that's because I'm betting that Rodriguez will start the season on the DL. He has a "dead arm", whatever the hell that is, and that means Houck will be brought up to take that slot in the rotation until Rodriguez gets his arm back in shape.

I'm looking forward to tomorrow's 2:10 start.

The Bruins managed to beat the Devils in a shootout last night, so that was nice. With that win, they managed to stay in fourth place in the east.

Despite the game having three regular periods, two overtime periods and finally a shootout, I'm happy to say I managed to stay awake for the whole thing.

I'm going to feed the critters, set about making dinner for the humans and then find something to entertain me this evening.

While I do that, you should see if any of this stuff interests you:

• Massachusetts new state motto: "Massachusetts! We're more corrupt than Illinois!"



• Admit it, there are times when a politician pisses you off and you secretly wish you could do this.



• Australia: What doesn't try to kill ya, is sick and tired of your crappy hairstyles.



• Did they hand out a bunch of little tiny condoms?



• There are some seriously screwed up people living in our world.



• This is actually a pretty damned good idea.
