Theyre former teammates back when Tito was a budding outfielder in the Expos system. That or high school/college team, Tito was talking about that on WEEI once
there wasnt as much buzz about lowell & loretta as there was for Coco. Also opening day debut at Fenway does pale in comparison to making his debut by June after close to 50 days on the DL. Maybe Im by my own on this one then
where the hell was Coco's standing ovation for his first AB as a Sox at Fenway Park??
He was standing at home plate, there was light applause and everyone was sitting down
NESN pre-game report that along with Paps, Foulke & Timlin are also having off-days
Behind the workhorse Wakefield will be: Riske, Seanez, Tavarez, & Van Buren
In the absence of SchillingouttheKs, who's off seeing Crisp's first game at Fenway Park as Red Sox... heres hoping I can carry on the mojo for today. Wake's 3-6 record has been skewed as he has been throwing out quality starts, his offense just needs to pick him up really. Wake is currently 3 wins away from #150, and already stands as the 3rd winningest pitcher in Red Sox history with 133. Its sweep day... Coco gets his due in a long standing ovation, and may the knuckle dance to lead the Sox to another victory

"SchilouttheKs" said yesterday that he was going to todays game, probably has left his place by now. I'll wait till an hour or so before the game starts, heres hoping my game thread will give good mojo in the absence of his.
Hansen was very effective in last night's start-- 4 innings, 1 Hit, 0 Runs, 4 Walks, 3 Ks
In 6 games (3 starts) for Pawtucket-- 0-1 record with a 2.29 ERA. In 19.2 innings he has struck out 16, while walking 14
With Hendrickson on the mound, the Sox wouldve tried to get Mirabelli in the lineup even if Wakefield wasnt catching. He is 8 for 14 against him.
Yes hoping for Coco as well who is also a Hendrickson killer, 8 for 12
