Great Start To Opening Day

So far so good (through the top of the eighth inning) at the Ballpark in Arlington. Curt Schilling has given the Red Sox seven solid innings and this game is now in the hands of the bullpen as Schill has thrown 118-pitches. Schill struck out five, gave up five hits and allowed just two runs. Maybe Curt should give thanks to the offense. David Ortiz is 3-for-4 with a homerun and 3 RBI's. Every batter other than Kevin Youkilis has at least one hit and Mark Loretta (1), Jason Varitek (2) and Mike Lowell (1) have joined Big Papi in driving in runs. Lowell drove in his run with a solo homerun -- his first with the Sox. Jonathan Papelbon is now on in relief. The Sox are leading 7-2. More after the game.
