First MLB Game of the Season For Me Monday Night

I will be leaving work  a little early Monday afternoon to head to Chicago with a co-worker to catch game one of the White Sox - Red Sox series at U.S. Cellular Field. It certainly looks like a mismatch on paper: Boston 27-17 vs. Chicago 19-23. It gets worse when you look at the pitching match-up: Jon Lester: 6-0, 2.72 ERA vs Dylan Axelrod: 1-3, 4.27 ERA.

Scattered thunderstorms are predicted for the Chicago area. At least the seats were cheap.
