Time for us to endanger another species of bird.

Now please go ahead and introduce yourself to Taylor. We're going to get married, have 10 kids, and teach them how to dream.
Let's take a big stanley steamer right in Chen's mouth.
If Buchholz can deliver another masterful performance, and the sox can hit, I feel sorry for the birds already.
Ted Williams was the best Red Sox player ever. Period.
Sox win 6-2. Buchholz 7 innings 2 runs 5 k's. Pedroia and Middlebrooks both hit monster shots.

5-3 Sox
We miss you Mike.
Hopefully Chris Davis has settled down. He's been on a roll lately.

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT : Mind your own fucking business if a conversation doesn't concern you and maybe we can start acting like adults.
Hopefully Salty gets the start. We seem to forget the bat when Ross is in the lineup![]()
R.I.P Rod Beck. You were the Kenny Powers of real life.
Big Jimmy Fund event today. I would not be surprised to see the first pitch thrown out by a prominent Sox guy that is also a prominent Jimmy Fund guy.
EEI says JBJ is out of the lineup today. Not that much of a surprise.
Adam Jones: Orioles want to 'shut up' the fans Fenway Park
Posted by Peter Abraham, Globe Staff April 7, 2013 07:37 PM
TORONTO — The Orioles are 3-3 after losing to the Twins on Sunday and have dropped two straight one-run games. That had center fielder Adam Jones fired up about playing the Red Sox on Monday.
“It’s important,” Jones told reporters in Baltimore about the team's need to platy well at Fenway Park. “You’ve seen the last couple days, you look on the scoreboard today. They had 13 runs and they put them up quick, too. I think they are swinging the bats. We’ve got to go out there ... and spoil their Opening Day."
That Fenway will be sold out matters not to Jones.
"The more people, the more you want to shut them up. That’s how I look at it. I don’t care, they can stand up the whole game. They do anyway. But when you can silence 40,000 people, it’s pretty cool," he said.
-------------------
Someone needs to shut him up! The O's are a pesky pain in the ass. Hope we win the series.
Another fun game to watch today. Good pitching matchup. O's are going to be tougher than people give them credit for even if they don't enjoy the good fortune of last year. Great match up for the home opener.
