Christian Post Report – Boston Red Sox designated hitter David Ortiz follows through as he flies out in the eighth inning against the Toronto Blue Jays during their MLB American League East baseball game in Boston, Massachusetts, September 22, 2013.

There is big history between these two rivals, and adding opening day tension to the mix should result in a clash that no fan wants to miss.

Both teams will be happy to start the new season with blank records, having had torrid 2014 seasons; both franchises suffered last place finishes last year, but both will have renewed hope and expectations as the new season gets started. However, a winning start could be important for the coming weeks, and building confidence early on can make or break a season.

The Red Sox have shaken things up a lot building up to this season opener. They have reinforced their offense; paying out $95 million to sign Pablo Sandoval, and splashing another $88 million for Hanley Ramirez.

Spending that amount of money will undoubtedly raise expectations and hopes, however, Red Sox fans will remember the $72.5 million spent last year on Rusney Castillo, and they will notice that he is starting this season in the Minors.

But make no mistake, this is a completely revamped Red Sox line up, and they have only one starter – Buchholz – from the 2014 season opening day.

John Farrell has said, “I think there’s a lot of excitement, and rightfully so, about the additions [general manager Ben Cherington] has made to our team. This is a talented group.”

Today’s big opening day game between the Boston Red Sox and the Philadelphia Phillies will start at 3.05 p.m. ET and can be watched online through free live stream by clicking here.

‘Archer’ News, Spoilers: Executive Producer Matt Thompson Talks Future Plans for the Show

Christian Post Report – FX’s hit adult animated TV series “Archer” has finished up its sixth season but fans of the show are still hankering for more details about the show’s future and one of the many rumors pointed out to a full-length feature film.

A report from Game N Guide cited an interview with executive producer Matt Thompson who recently spoke with the Daily Beast to address rumors of an “Archer” film.

“I see it as an eventual conversation that’s probably coming in the next couple of years because it feels like it’s reaching that point where you’re either gonna do it, or you’re not gonna do it. I see it as a much greater possibility today because Adam and I have become more relaxed about what this show does, and where it will go in the future,” the showrunner said.

With the plans still on hold, the publication went on to probe about what’s next for the show, now that it has already closed its sixth season, the executive producer said.

“We don’t know! Every year as the season ends, Adam walks across a foreign country thinking about what he wants to do next. As you and I are speaking, Adam is walking through the South of France for 30 days,” Matt Thompson. “We have some ideas, but we haven’t necessarily decided exactly what we’re going to do yet—despite the final scene this season. For us, we wanted to leave it open-ended to decide if we want to go rogue again.”

Baltimore Orioles vs Tampa Bay Rays Live Stream Free: Watch MLB 2015 Opening Day Baseball Online (Start Time, Preview)

The Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays will face off on Monday as the MLB 2015 season opening day takes place. Today’s big game will take place from Tropicana Field in St Petersburg in Florida, and has a start time scheduled for 3.10 p.m. ET. The game can be watched on TV on the MAS2 and SUN networks, but can also be watched online through free live stream (details below).

Christian Post Report – The Baltimore Orioles are shown in this file photo.

The Orioles enter today’s game having lost Nelson Cruz and Nick Markakis to free agency. Fans will be anxious to see how the team does without those two, as the franchise didn’t make any moves to replace either one of them. The O’s instead will look to dust off the losses by focusing purely on their core players, and will simply ask that the pitching staff cover up any potential holes created.

The MLB 2015 opening season features numerous highlights this year. Many will be looking to Masahiro Tanaka following months of rumors and doubts surrounding his right elbow. The injury landed him on the disabled list last season, and many will want to see how his partially torn ulnar collateral ligament holds up as the season gets going today.

Another big highlight for opening day will be the contest between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers. The pair will meet each other 19 times this season, including a potential vital three game set, which will close out the season. Matt Kemp in particular will be looking at this game with relish, and even though he has a lot of memories at Chavez Ravine, his time there ended on a bad note, and he will be looking to gain revenge in the only way he knows how – by winning and being successful where he is now.

Another big story for opening day 2015 will be veteran Torii Hunter leading his new team, the Minnesota Twins, against his old team, the Detroit Tigers. He has said ahead of the game: “I’m fired up to face anybody, whether I face the Angels, which I had a great time, or I face the Tigers, which I had a great time with. I can tell you this: Any team I might play, they know I’m coming to play,” according to TwinCities.com.

Today’s big game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Tampa Bay Rays will start at 3.10 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the MAS2 and SUN networks, and also online through free live stream by clicking here.

Destiny ‘House of Wolves’ DLC 1.1.2 Patch News, Details: Update Sees Raid Fixes, Strike Improvements and More

Bungie recently released some important details for the “Destiny” upcoming Patch 1.1.2. Slated to be released alongside the game’s upcoming second expansion, House of Wolves, the said update will see changes on raids, strikes and improvements on player usage.

Christian Post Report – As pointed out in the studio’s official update blog site, the next upgrade will bring in the needed fixes for the Atheon and Crota Raid bugs.

“In 1.1.2, we have an opportunity to make some targeted fixes. We prioritized a list of items based on community feedback and tried to hit the ones that have been the most important to players. In particular, we wanted to improve the Atheon and Crota boss encounters. They’re challenging enough without the game getting in your way,” senior designer Gavin Irby told Bungie.net.

More details about the Raid bug fixes will be provided when the Update Notes for Patch 1.1.2 is released, the site said.

The upgrade will also bring some Strike fixes which is said to improve the strikes gameplay. The blog cited User Research Lead, John Hopson particularly addressing the Cerberus Vae III Strike which, as he said, is “arguably the longest and hardest Strike in the Game.”

To answer the problem, production engineer Brenton Woodrow said that their goal now is to “ease up” on the difficulty of the strike.

“Our goal was to ease the difficulty for the least-completed strikes. In order to do this, we focused on the final boss encounters, which were fairly lengthy on higher tiers. We addressed this by reducing the strength for several of the major combatants,” Woodrow said.

Bungie will also begin handing out punishments to players who idle around during matchmaking activities.

“Sitting idle in Strikes and PvP has been on our radar for a while now, but it’s become clear that a small number of the worst idlers are responsible for damaging the experiences of thousands of other players,” Hopson said.

The site clarified the premise of the punishment by saying that only those “truly dedicated idlers” are to be reprimanded by “temporarily banning” them from the multiplayer activities.

According to Attack of the Fanboy, Bungie is planning to roll out Patch 1.1.2 “in the coming weeks.”

The characters of Guardians of the Galaxy

Christian Post Report – Director James Gunn once again took to the social media to offer update details on the upcoming “Guardians of the Galaxy 2,” which as previously reported, will be veering farther away from its Marvel Comics canon.

Gunn’s question-and-answer segment on Periscope this week to reveal that he has already completed and mapped out his treatment on the GoTG sequel.

“I turned in my treatment. I’m going in to meet about it Friday and we will start working on the screenplay next week,” Gunn said.

It was found out, moreover, that the initial production for the upcoming installment is set to commence this February of 2016. His plans also include shooting the film at Pinewood Atlanta Studios following Marvel’s other forthcoming superhero offerings, “Ant-Man” and “Captain America: Civil War.”

The February 2016 production timeline would bring the movie to the big screen this May 5, 2017.

Other nuggets of information shared by Gunn during the Q&A went on to mention that the title is slated to be released in 3D form.

The studio and Gunn has also opted not to do “motion capture for Rocket [voiced by Bradley Cooper] and Groot [voice talent Vin Diesel].”

Fans will also get to know more of Gunn’s GoTG in a “deeper way” and that there will be some “little improv” done during rehearsals which was then added to the script.

“Guardians of the Galaxy 2” will see the return of Chris Pratt (as Starlord), Zoe Saldana (as Gamora), Dave Bautista (Drax the Destroyer), and the two mentioned voice talents with their corresponding characters.

Robert Pattinson, FKA Twigs News, Update: ‘Twilight’ Star Wants to Tie the Knot in a Pub?

Christian Post Report – FKA Twigs, whose real name Tahliah Barnett, and Robert Pattinson are rumored to be already engaged and are planning to tie the knot later this summer “in a pub,” according to one report.

T-Pain’s revelation to Vulture is the origin of the rumors. Although the 28-year-old “Twilight” star has reportedly been seen shopping for engagement rings in the past months, this interview with the American musician seems to cement the speculation that the two are now taking their relationship to the next level.

“Well, the first time we even met each other, we met in the studio,” the music artist told Film News. “Her music’s changed a lot since then. But she’s on tour so much, and anytime I call her, she’s in a different place. And she’s engaged now, so that’s about to be a whole other thing. Yeah, to ol’ Patty. I don’t know if she wanted anybody to know that.”

Moreover, a report from People cited one source telling them that couple are opting for their wedding to be completely simple and not like those of a typical, glamorous Hollywood-type ceremonies.

“[FKA twigs] wants something quite informal, like a pub wedding,” the insider said.

This purported information would come opposite to what Robert’s parents reportedly want. A report from Hollywood Life said that Rob’s folks would want to see their son saying his vows in a church.

But nevertheless, Mr. and Mrs. Pattinson were happy that the wedding wasn’t between their son and his co-star and former lover, Kristen Stewart.

“Robert’s family is very supportive of his engagement to Twigs,” a source said. “They think she’s great for him, and are happy that it wasn’t Kristen in the end because they didn’t have the same feeling for her they have for Twigs.”

Christian Post Report – Beyonce recently sang a piano ballad, “Die With You” uploaded on Tidal to celebrate her and husband, Jay-Z’s wedding anniversary over the weekend.

American singer-songwriter Beyonce sang her own composition, a piano ballad, “Die With You,” dedicated to her husband, rapper, Jay-Z to celebrate their seventh wedding anniversary. The ballad was filmed by Jay-Z and released on their artist-owned music streaming service, Tidal.

Known for dropping music and songs unannounced, Beyonce performs behind a grand piano in the three-and-a-half minute clip. The intimate home video sees Beyonce reaffirming her love and commitment to her husband and the father of her three-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy:

“I wake up just to sleep with you/ I open my eyes so I can see it’s you/ And I live so I can die with you,” she sings.

Wearing her hair in loose braided pigtails hidden underneath a reversed black cap, and a black t-shirt, Beyonce sings with no other accompaniment except her piano playing.

Staring at the camera coquettishly, she lets out a yell at the end of her song and the camera pans around to reveal Jay-Z smiling behind it.

The video has already been uploaded to YouTube where it has garnered over 250,000 views to date.

Beyonce and Jay-Z co-own Tidal together with Alicia Keys, Arcade Fire, Calvin Harris, Coldplay, Daft Punk, Deadmau5, Jack White, Madonna, Rihanna, and Usher. The couple may have released the new song as part of the promotion of their music streaming service which battles for market share among giants like Spotify and iTunes.

Tidal currently has 17,000 subscribers and will be jostling for subscribers with Beats music, Google Play Music, and other music and content streaming services online.

Beyonce and Jay-Z are parlaying the success of their power couple partnership with Tidal, after having grossed more than $100 million during their “On The Run” Tour between 2013 to 2014, with tickets selling out within minutes in multiple locations.

Khloe Kardashian Still Loves Lamar Odom, Will They Reconcile?

NBA Basketball player Lamar Odom and ‘Keeping Up with The Kardashians’ Khloe Kardashian

Christian Post Report – Khloe Kardashian has admitted she still has feelings for ex-husband, Lamar Odom, sparking rumors she is angling for a reconciliation with her estranged spouse.

Khloe admitted she still has feelings for her former husband, professional basketball player, Lamar Odom, and said she would always be in love with him. This confession gave rise to speculations Kardashian may be looking to reconcile with Odom after divorcing him in December 2013.

“I will never ever not love Lamar,” the 30-year-old reality star told E! News. “I was so obsessed with him in a healthy way. He was my husband, and I still wish he was, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that.”

She added she wished circumstances were different between them as a couple, and if she had her way, she’d still be married to him.

Kardashian tied the knot with Odom, 35, in September 2009, a month after they met at a party for one of Odom’s Los Angeles Lakers teammates. In 2013, after speculations of drug and alcohol abuse and a rumored separation, Kardashian filed for divorce at the end of the year.

Kardashian is currently in an on-again, off-again dating situation with American-Moroccan rapper, French Montana, whom she admits is “awesome,” but not the person she wants to settle down with.

Kardashian further said she doesn’t want to be linked to anyone seriously at the moment, and is currently figuring out her emotions. While she would prefer to be married to Odom, she says there are some things her ex-husband needs to do before a reconciliation occurs, and that there was “nothing” she could do to save their marriage in the end.

Fans of Kardashian have been rooting for a reconciliation since hearing of the divorce, but Khloe admitted, in a recent episode of their family’s reality show, “Keeping Up With The Kardashians,” Odom had been avoiding her calls and they hadn’t communicated with each other in a month.

New York Yankees vs Toronto Blue Jays Live Stream Free: Watch MLB 2015 Opening Day Baseball Online (Start Time, Preview)

The New York Yankees will host the Toronto Blue Jays on Monday as the MLB 2015 season opening day gets started. All the preparations and build up to the start of the season will fade away once the first ball is pitched at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx at 1.05 p.m. ET, and finally the new season will be underway. Today’s game can be watched on TV on the ESPN and YES networks, but can also be watched online through free live stream (details below).

Christian Post Report – Yankee Stadium is home to the New York Yankees and is located in the Bronx borough of New York.

These division rivals will be licking their lips at the prospect of the American League East this season. There is no clear favorite at this stage, and both of these franchises will be wanting to get the season off to a winning start to emerge as early frontrunners in the coming weeks.

Today’s game will see two right-handers feature on opening day at Yankee Stadium; Masahiro Tanaka will start for the Yankees, and Drew Hutchison will take to the mound for the Blue Jays. Neither pitcher has started on Opening Day before in the MLB, so it will be a unique experience for both.

Tanaka will remember his big league debut against the Blue Jays last year in April. Things did not all go as planned though, as Melky Cabrera smashed a home run off him on just his third pitch to welcome him to the league. The Yankees did go on to win that game, but Tanaka probably will be happy that Cabrera is not part of the proceedings this year. He has now moved on to the White Rox.

“He’s gone, so I wouldn’t have that sort of negative image from last year. Yes, obviously I’d like to have a different outcome for the first batter this season,” Tanaka said.

He added, “I think the biggest difference is that I’ll be pitching at home this season. I’m really happy about that. Last year obviously was over in Toronto and being away from home. Definitely being able to pitch at home this season, I’m really happy about that.”

The New York Yankees will take on the Toronto Blue Jays from 1.05 p.m. ET today, and the game can be watched on TV on the ESPN and YES networks, or online through free live stream by clicking here.
