The schedule for the 2010 Major League Baseball season was released Tuesday and it has the Red Sox opening their season April 5 at the Fenway Park against the New York Yankees. After the three-game series with the Yankees, the Sox head out on the road to play three in Kansas City and three in Minnesota, which will be the Twins' home opener in their new ballpark. The Sox also close out their regular season against the Yankees at Fenway, playing New York in three games, Oct. 1-3. In inter-league play, the Red Sox will take on Philadelphia, Arizona and the Dodgers at home, and Colorado, San Francisco and the Phillies away. Other than the June trip to Denver and San Francisco, the Red Sox' other West Coast swings won't take place until July and Sept.

Talking on the Dennis and Callahan Show, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady reiterated how much improvement he and the Patriots need following their come-from-behind, 25-24 win over Buffalo on Monday night at Gillette Stadium. "It's early in the year, and I'm glad we won, but we all realize we have a lot of work to do," Brady said. "We have a lot of work ahead." Asked about how he felt making his first appearance since injuring his knee in last season's opener, Brady said, "I felt good, I felt excited, I think the team was prepared, but it's an execution game." The Pats quarterback also said the Bills came out and played a defensive coverage they "hadn't played in years". Check the 'It Is What It Is Blog' for a full transcript of Brady's interview.
