Let's go over this trade. Josh Bard Clay Meredith for Mark Loretta Doug Mirabelli Yes, please. Welcome back Dougie!

I didn't realize that it was Edgar's wife...but the rest of it I had heard before, and I find it completely believable.

I guess I'll change mine to 38. If possible, I'd like to change the homeruns to 8.

You'd be surprised...we're actually the number 7 online dating service just behind match.com and ahead of jdate. Congrats, all!

My favorite part of this site is when a new girl joins, and then some of the members then take part in subconsciously fighting over her. Online flirting...gotta love it.

Do broadcasters change too? I think that's a stupid question.

This is from Jayson Stark's ESPN INSIDER blog, thought you'd all like to see this. It's about why Pedro is the most dominating pitcher of his generation...as if we didn't already know.

He's not my favorite, but I loved him when he was here: Troy O Leary

I'll change mine to 20 runs I guess.

Sorry to everyone who got the PMs with the less than appropriate picture. I tried to delete all the posts with the picture in it. That was kind of gross. If you haven't looked yet and received a PM from him...just don't open it. My stomach hurts.

Wow...stayed under the wire here for a bit, no?

Number of Red Sox Wins: _5 Total # Red Sox Runs Scored : 29

He's been going first few rounds on every draft I've been in, he's usually one of the top 10 pitchers taken.

I'm not sure if I follow. Are these tickets from redsox.com or did you get them from ebay or another site? If these are your tickets from the Red Sox, you should be fine.

Hit another homerun today. And four innings of shutout baseball. But I'm more interested in the homerun. He had none in 55 career at bats, and now he has two.

Thank the sweet lord. Anything less than 30 million a year is a bargain.

As much as I don't necessarily trust the medical staff of the Boston Red Sox, here's the official statement released by Dr. Thomas Gill: So there it is. Hopefully it won't be too long after those 10 days that he can start playing again.

Question. I was watching on MLB.tv, so maybe I didn't get the best look at it. But in the two counts that Paps started 2-0 on the hitters, where were those pitches that the ump didn't like? Bard stuck out his mitt, and that's where Paps put it. They looked like pitches that could've gone either way, but all four went against him. I'm pretty sure that's why he went WAY inside on Tejada and Matos (I think).

For the team to get into any sort of rhythm, I don't think they can keep flip-flopping shortstops every few games. For right now, the jury's still out on both of these players. But Gonzalez is our starter for as long as I can see right now. With that, I'm pretty stoked that the season has gotten off to a great start. If shortstop is our biggest worry (closer isn't, we have plenty of options), then we're in good shape.

...not exactly rained out. ChiSox took it 10-4. Not the prettiest game...BUT IT'S BASEBALL SEASON!!!

Just a quick thing on "blasting" Derek Lowe - he got the biggest ovation of all (with the exception of Pesky) on the ring ceremony. He didn't leave with hard feelings - the guy was one of the biggest reasons we won the WS. He just wasn't offered a contract, and was offered a pretty hefty one from a team that showed interest. No big deal then. Stop grouping Sox fans into one category. People who are anti-Mueller are all morons. It's a completely different category than Damon-haters. And though I am not in Boston - I believe the globe posted a new article every other freakin' day with some Damon interview after he was gone with him saying how much he loved Boston and what-not. So they're trying to spin us against him? They're giving him a chance to save face. Millar haters have always been Millar haters, including myself. Pedro did not deserve a contract based on his past, enough said. He was unbelievably amazing for his tenure in Boston, but he didn't deserve the money he was going to receive, and the Sox know that. Pedro should and will be getting a standing ovation at every start he'll ever make in Boston. There's no Pedro hating. Final point- I don't think there has been any real Arroyo hating...or any new Arroyo hating. He was a hell of a guy who showed how much he wanted to stay in Boston, knowing full well that doing so put him at risk considering him being on the trade block all of his years in Boston. His agents told him so, and begged him not to do it. It's tough trading a guy that the fans love like Arroyo, but we're not all entirely devastated, as we got a potential masher for years to come. I am happy in a bittersweet way about this trade. I'm happy that Arroyo will get to have a full season in a rotation this year. I'm happy we get to see what Wily Mo can do. I'm sad that no matter how you look at it and how much you hope, baseball will always be a business first.

Just Josh Bard.
