It is the spring, and outings are limited to like, 8 pitches, but didn't he just pitch two days ago or so? Maybe my sense of time is off, but I think that's what it is.

 

He pitched an inning on Wednesday or Thursday (whenever the first game was).

Boston 5, Philadelphia 4

 

Roberto Petagine went 2-for-2, and drove in a pair of runs and scored another during a four-run sixth inning, Renteria hit his first homerun in a sox uni!!!!

 

yankees tommorrow.....

[yankeessuck013]

BK Kim also walked 3, struck out 2, gave up 2 runs on 1 hit in 1.2 innings of action!

 

TRADE HIM NOW PLEASE!!!!

[techsoldaten]

Tek said about 6 of those pitches Kim threw were strikes and the umpires were messing with him. Mixed with the fact it's SPRING TRAINING, we can probably cut him some slack.

 

I would like to see BYK get his groove back. He could be a huge difference maker for the Sox if he pitches like he did in AZ.

i know i know its only spring training but beating the yankees still tastes delicious....post plz

[stocker323]

Yanks are up 2-0. through 1.5.

[YanksHater213]

4-1 yankees in bottom of the 4th. Trot just hit a homer, vs. a lefty too (graman)

[YanksHater213]

Sox won today 7-4. Clement pitched well with the exception of a homer (or so I heard). Manny and Ortiz both homered.

[Zenny]

El Hanleto! does it again. Nice ribbie today for the kid.

[yankeessuck013]

Sox @ Marlins game was cancelled today....

[yeszir]

Spring training games are boring.

ehhhh......its the only baseball we got

 

Better Than Nothing!

[techsoldaten]

Spring training is like crab dip before a steak dinner. It ain't what fills you, but it tastes so good you have to have some.

 

I love spring training. It gets people in the mood for baseball. The fact that you don't see the real lineups, the stand ins, the wild games that mean nothing... it's just game and sometimes that means more than the ones that count.

Sox fall to the Dodgers 2-1 today. Arroyo pitched fairly well and Manny hit a solo homer.

[RedSoxRooter]

Wells looks like the same old Wells. That's a good thing I think. A Mueller error and a bad read by Damon lead to two runs here in the second. Dinger by Trot. 2-1 game.

[yeszir]

Mueller also had his first at bat of the spring after his knee surgery. He grounded out to third I think.

[CrespoBlows]

Trot still on fire, this time out on the field. What a catch!!

 

That'll be a top 10 for sure, and you heard it here first. Nixon to win gold glove!

hE won't play in enough games to get it if he's not playing in all lefty starts.

[BigPapiEnFuego]

they suck this spring... they were all hot now they can't win for s***. except for today. thankfully its only march, maybe they are getting through that rough patch early, instead of may like last year.

[yeszir]

It happens every spring. They never play well. It really has no bearing on the rest of the season, since I don't think we'll have AA players in during the 4th inning in June.

[CrespoBlows]

They won today, 6-5 J-Rod hit one out in the 9th of Colome. Hanley looks ready now, going 2-2 again.

Spring Training is such a bad barometer on how a team will do for the regular season, I acually hope the Mariners lose games during the spring. Look at last year, they did great, they couldn't lose and they SUCKED in the regular season. That is why i am liking these standings:

 

Team W L PCT

Cleveland 8 3 .727

Los Angeles 10 4 .714

Toronto 7 4 .636

Tampa Bay 6 4 .600

Baltimore 6 5 .545

Detroit 6 5 .545

Chicago 7 7 .500

New York 5 6 .455

Minnesota 5 8 .385

Oakland 5 8 .385

Boston 4 7 .364

Kansas City 4 7 .364

Texas 4 8 .333

Seattle 3 9 .250

[RedSoxRooter]

This was expected. No?

 

How many starts have Schilling, Wells and Miller made? Just 1. And Foulke's been in one game. Spring training is nothing. Right now it's about getting people ready. About getting people healthy. About getting people on Queer Eye.

 

Only 2 more weeks!

[yeszir]

About getting people on Queer Eye.

Speaking of which, what a horribly stupid idea! Making over the sox? Sheesh.

[Zenny]

Hanley looks ready now, going 2-2 again.

Nope, he ain't ready. He needs another year.

[CrespoBlows]

Phrased it wrong, my bad. He looks ready, but I know he isn't

Sorry, I'm late but I went to the first 4 games. They were great. I had great seats. I got Jerry Remy, Trot Nixon, Adam Stern, and Lenny Dinardo's autograph. They won all 4. I got some great pictures too.

 

I doubt anyone cares but on the plane ride up fitty cent was on my plane. Pretty cool. Ask me questions about the games if you want.

Plane ride up to Boston? That's cool, if you like fifty cent I guess.
