Opener set for Tuesday at 4

At least they called it early. In a break from previous years, the Red Sox did not wait until the last minute to postpone a game. Even though it is not raining now, the forecast is not good. It is going to pour, and it is not going to stop.

The Red Sox are taking a hurry-up batting practice right now.

The opening game, with all the planned pre-game festivities will take place on Tuesday. The game is scheduled for 4:05 p.m. Gates open at 2:05.
