The season is just around the corner and I can't wait to see some baseball being played. I've been able to catch a few of the Sox spring games but it's just not the same. Gonna be great to watch the new faces play this year and hopefully they can bring home another World Series.

[See Red]

I'm so excited about this baseball season -- I even had my dad pick me up some Rockies opening day tickets -- watch some opening day baseball and then watch my Huskies win the NCAA Tourney. What a day.

 

Sure, the Rockies ain't exactly the Red Sox and Coors Field ain't Fenway, but it's baseball none-the-less and it's the best I can do.

[riverside sluggers]

1 week from tomorrow (8 days) and counting!!

[Anuj09]

think Ortiz will have found his swing ? he said that his swing was horrible

[KeepTheFaith1229]

think Ortiz will have found his swing ? he said that his swing was horrible

 

Yeah, he said that before he had the 2 HR game against Venezuela (one off Johan Santana)...

[MANNYHOF24]

I cant wait until monday its going to be so long from now. Even though the game doesnt start until 2:00 and i could probally make it home from school on time, im going to skip, just a little tradition of mine on opening day!

[riverside sluggers]

[Goalstopper]

Same with me and the hapless D'Backs. Its baseball, and its amazing to go. But this year should be different, we're supposed to make a trip this summer to the New England area, see some family and catch at least one Sox game this summer. I'm excited! :thumbsup:

[Anuj09]

D-backs should be fun, you guys have Orlando Hudson hes illll defensivly + a lot of more players

[Sox fan in Tex]

There should be a huge timer on the front page counting down to opening day. Just a thought:D

[Sox fan in Tex]

What a joke. Not even a valid argument before being banned. Prance back along to the YES Boards where all the worthless, unintelligent New Yorkers get their hopes up about another season just to go down the drain. The Yankees suck, the Jets suck and the Knicks suck. End of story.

...he was a sox fan who got banned. I missed those 3 posts and I just deleted them. That was a headache and a half.

Francona has announced his likely lineups

 

Vs. RHPs

CF Coco Crisp

2B Mark Loretta

DH David Ortiz

LF Manny Ramírez

RF Trot Nixon

C Jason Varitek

3B Mike Lowell

1B Kevin Youkilis/J.T. Snow

SS Alex González.

 

Vs. LHPs

CF Coco Crisp

2B Mark Loretta

DH David Ortiz

LF Manny Ramírez

C Jason Varitek

3B Mike Lowell

RF Wily Mo Peña

1B Kevin Youkilis

SS Alex González.

 

Other things of interest: Jonathan Papelbon & Mike Timlin will be main relievers to set up fro Foulke, even when Tavarez is not suspended. Papelbon will step in to close if troubles arise. David Wells has agreed to start the season the DL, this opens an extra spot for a reliver who will be left handed long man Lenny DiNardo. Wells will take his spot back on April 12. April 20 (Stern's 17 days are up) the Sox seem set to call up outfielder/infielder speedy Willie Harris.

That lineup will absolutely kill lefties. Look at Lowells numbers against lefties last year. He may have had an off year, but his numbers against lefties were still good. The year before when he was playing at an all star level his production against lefties was at an MVP type level. One note, Even without stern both Dinardo and Harris don't fit on the roster. You add dinardo to replace wells, then you say harris can come in when stern gets sent down, but someone else has to go on the 12th when wells comes back.

[TheRivernator]

one thing that sox fans and yankee fans agree on is that we need to get this f***er started....
