And just in case anyone forgot, the Red Sox are the defending WS champions.

 

WIN!

[MANNYHOF24]

Woohoo!

 

7 innings 2 ER 8 K's for Lester

 

Pedroia and Papi homer

[Jacoby_Ellsbury]

The Red Sox are defending champions for the third time in less than a decade, while the Boreioles and the drug-filled shanty metropolis that roots for them will be reminiscing about that 2011 game for the next three decades as their disgraceful franchise lurches to 70 win season after 70 win season.

Things that suck: Having to wake up and drive to school in the morning.

 

Things that don't suck: Knowing that I'll be in home in time to watch the Sox s*** all over the Orioles.

Took this afternoon off of work, excited for a new season! Getting my Bart Scott game on right, "CAN'T WAIT"

[NativeBostonian]

I hate that they always have opening day in the middle of the day. People with 9-5 jobs can't watch the game.

[a700hitter]

Opening Day is an official holiday in my home. I haven't worked on opening day in years. My other holiday is Super Bowl Monday.

[dupree]

Excited for opening day and looking for a repeat.

 

Nick Carfado just reported Vic will start the year off on the 15 day DL and JBJ will be recalled from AAA. I just wonder what the starting lineup will look like today.

That's your fault for being an adult and having responsibilities.

[Jasonbay44]

Am going to this game. LEGGO sox! Also it's so weird wearing a hoodie to a baseball game and watching a game with temperature in the 40s

[redsoxrules]

It's a good thing there's a surplus in OF.

Vic on the 15 day DL

Ahh there it is. No gamethread is complete until VA post the lineups.

[Spudboy]

As a veteran of Talksox I will offer that normalcy has returned to life when I see VA's lineup post.

 

All hail the best team in baseball.

 

GO SOX!

[Spudboy]

Lol. I just noticed Mike's post!!!

 

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!11!!!!!

 

I'm ready to go!

[a700hitter]

Ready to go!!! I hope that Victorino is just sitting out for a precaution.

[a700hitter]

Shane on DL

[MANNYHOF24]

I wish Grady was leading off.

[BornToRun]

I wish Grady was leading off.

According to Farrell they're keeping him out of the leadoff spot because they want to limit his workload. Leadoff guys get the most at bats out of anyone.

[SoxFanForsyth]

LEGGO!!!!

 

P.S. - Wife and I are having a daughter in August, this is why I haven't been around in a while.

[BornToRun]

LEGGO!!!!

Just FYI, "Koji" could probably pass for a girl's name.

 

And the obligatory congratulations I guess.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Wait, so what I'm getting here is that the Sox...are world champions? And the Orioles aren't?

[mvp 78]

Have the day off today.

 

Wife: "You going to watch the game?"

[mvp 78]

LEGGO!!!!

Yes, congratulations on changing your life forever. What hospital you going to?
