Tomorrow's Spring Training Opener

I've gotten a few questions via e-mail and instant message about tomorrow's Spring Training opener vs. the Braves, so I thought I'd post a note here.  The game will not be televised.  The first Spring Training telecast will be March 16 on FOX Sports Net Detroit. 

You can listen to the game on radio, however, as WXYT will broadcast the game.  (I'm assuming on both 1270 AM and 97.1 FM.)  'XYT can't stream the broadcast on the internet, however, so unless you're within range of a Tigers radio affiliate (here's a list of them), you're out of luck, it appears.

Will we have an Open Thread for the game?  If there's any interest in one, sure.  Maybe that would give people a way to post some updates.  (If I happen to be near a radio, I might post some updates on Twitter, as well.  And I just installed a widget in the left-hand sidebar, so you can read that stuff here.)  Let me know what you think.

Ian,

Nothing against you and how you choose to live your life but I think Twitter is stupid and pointless. Am I missing something? Usually I have a pretty good awesome-detector but I just cannot see the point in Twitter.

Carry on.

Can I remind you of this comment after you open a Twitter account at some point this year?

Yes...

Please do. I’ve known about Twitter for at least a year now and have never found a reason to get into it. I bet I don’t ever get into it. If I do, you go right ahead and throw it in my face.

Tigers opener

Yes, today’s spring training opener will be broadcast on both 97.1 and 1270 in Detroit.

A word of caution Ian: I don’t believe all of the radio affiliates will pick up the game this afternoon, as it’s in the middle of the week and many stations don’t want to interrupt normal weekday programming. I can tell you however WSGW in Saginaw is one of the stations which WILL have the game today.

Will be great to hear Dan and Jim this afternoon. Ok, just Dan ;)

Jeff Henn is an idiot.
