And so...it begins.
After a disappointing first round exit in the 2009 postseason, the Red Sox are back. Minus slugger Jason Bay, they nonetheless come into 2010 with several new faces, most of them promising a great year. John Lackey, Marco Scutaro, and Adrian Beltre are just some of the first-year Red Sox who look to make a splash with the team and the fans.
Opening Day at Fenway. Not just Opening Day, but Opening Day against the New York Motherf***ing Goddamn Stupid f***ing Yankees. Sound like fun? You betcha! The New York Yankees also come into Opening Day with several new faces, and missing some familiar ones. They also won the World Series or some stupid thing. Whatever.
Now, for your starting pitchers:
For the Red Sox: Josh Beckett, the Yankee Slayer. The Red Avenger. The Furious Fastball. Assorted Nicknames.
