Sox fans will get their first look at the clownish new Miami Marlins uniforms this afternoon. Special Tacky-Proof Sunglasses will be issued to all fans entering jetBlue Park at Fenway South to ward off any potential damage to the good taste of Boston fans.
Nick Punto will again lead-off for the Red Sox, with Youk, Papi and Gonzo to follow. Josh Beckett will start the game—looking to extend his impressive Spring performances. Also scheduled to hurl today are Mark Melancon, Andrew Bailey, Ross Ohlendorf, Scott Atchison and Jesse Carlson.
