Brian MacPherson, the excellent Red Sox beat writer for the Providence Journal, has reminded us that we are closer than ever to the actual start of the baseball season. MacPherson tweeted a photo (see at right) showing the Red Sox equipment truck loading up for the journey north. Now, that's a Truck Day to celebrate.

The Red Sox will start the 2012 season next Thursday (at 1:05 PM) at Comerica Park in Detroit facing MVP and Cy Young winner Justin Verlander. Jon Lester will be the Sox Opening Day starter. Let the games begin, already!
