Yesterday was the annual Patriot's Day game in Boston, where the game starts at 11 AM EST. Hopefully you all set up your lineups for the day before that game started. I know that I've had that problem in previous years since it's 8 AM over on the West Coast. The Rays did make it clear however, that they owned the Red Sox for at least this day, as they defeated them 8-2 and put a lot of crooked numbers up on starting pitcher John Lackey.
