What a great game to be at! Oh and "waaahhh this team can not hit good pitching" hahah

Yeah Breaking news,... im surprised none of the news outlets have been talking about this for a month, which they have

Im going to opening day tonight. Its standing room only, but meh Ill survive

Im just guessing on the Yankees lineup really Sabathia last year vs Boston in 4 games, 3-1 with a 2.22 ERA. At Fenway Park in 2 games, 1-1 with a 4.61 ERA Beckett last year vs New York in 5 games, 2-1 with a 5.34 ERA. At Fenway Park in 16 games, 10-1 with a 3.59 ERA

Wow Jason Bay (their prize acquisition) bats 5th, but Mike Jacobs bats cleanup?

Up in the majors when the fatigue kicked in, no not all that great. But he had a great season in both Double A and Triple A

Where do you Play AGon... lol. The Sox would gladly make room to give him the starting 1st base job. Lowell, Ortiz and Beltre are all set to be free agents at end of the season. So its not like theyd worry about being on the hook for their salaries next season

Whats the over/under for games played by Nick Johnson this season?

Damn feel sorry for Mets fans, its same old same old. Carlos Beltran (cf), Jose Reyes (ss) and now Daniel Murphy (1b) will enter the season on the disabled list

Atchison had a good spring, good to see him make it http://browniepoints.mlblogs.com/archives/2010/04/atchison_on_team_tazawa_to_und.html The final spot will go to Schoenweis or Nelson

The Orioles are the only team that Eric Hinske hasnt played for in the AL East

Hell yes!! He definitely gave the Sox a hometown discount here. Next 5 years we will have Beckett, Lester and Lackey. Thats not including Buchholz and Casey Kelly

Such a big move this would be... if it wasnt just hour and a half away from April Fools Day Happy April Fools Day to all you Yankee fans reading this :harhar: no offense that is

It has V-Mart's obp being considerably lower. He's too good of a hitter to have a .323 obp

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view.bg?articleid=1243349&format=&page=2&listingType=sox#articleFull Boof Bonser is likely to start the year on the DL. Alan Embree and Scott Schoenweiss are both not doing anything to be the 2nd lefty behind Okajima. The 2 spots in the pen could go to Atchison and Nelson

If the Sox lock up Beckett for 4 years/$65-70 million, that will be quite a steal. As a free agent, he could get close to $100 million. Teams such as the Rangers and Mets could get desperate
