Every game matters

So it was interesting to see the difference in attitude in Yankee fans around the office from roughly the third inning of their Opening Day to after the game. They were loving CC early on. Got out of a jam and whatnot. The next day, I was being told "It's only one game."
True, but when you lose the division or wild card spot by one game in September, all of a sudden that April 6 game really matters. I've never been a proponent of that thinking. If they didn't matter, they wouldn't play them.
Anyway, on to the Sox.
Beckett looked great. Had second and third with no outs and Longoria, Pena and Burrell up and no one got the ball out of the infield.
They just looked good all around. Pedroia starts off nicely, Tek earned about a week of silence from people who didn't want him re-signed and Paps even got a fist pump in on the first day. Pretty happy with the overall performance, but hey, it's only one game.
