Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Crawford is just what that lineup needed. Awesome news!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Crawford, I like this Move
Now really shake up the League and land Cliff Lee

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:noon

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

WOW!! now if Beckett and Lackey get their act together,their is no doubt the Sox will make it to the playoffs and beyond :noon

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I heard that Lee walked out of negotiations with the Yankees. If the Sox can sign him and that catcher from the Dodgers, Martin, I can't see who can stop them. :banger:noon:banger:noon

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I love the Crawford move, but I reiterate..we still need some bullpen help.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I think they should have kept V Mart,switch hitting power hitter for chump change compared to Crawford.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I think if they thought he was too much of a liability in the field.

Maybe if they don't pick up Ortiz the definitely keep Vmart but with Ortiz they don't need another $12 million DH switch hitter or not

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Just got 8 tickets to the May 6th game against the twins :noon:noon:banger

Haven't been to a game in probably 5 years. So psyched

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I couldn't agree more. However, I feel better about what the team has done so far this off season compared to last. I'm excited for the season to start.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Bobby Jenks to to the Sox, looks like he will be the first one out of the pen?
This will be Papelbons last season in Boston if they don't trade him?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I think they will definitely be looking for potential trade for Pap now if they haven't already, either way he is gone next season.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

You know whats funny? The Sox are moving in right field nine feet to add more seats,and with all the left hand bats in the lineup, the Sox are know built for Yankee stadium :r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Sox's spring training is very lose the guys are having fun.
All signs point to the Sox's running away with the Al pennant:sl
I think they will will 100 games, this team is stacked :D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I'm getting excited now. The pitchers are all still healthy and seem to be doing well in their first few outings, (even post concussion Beckett). Our group of injured from last year all rehabbed over the winter and arrived fit and ready to play. The new acguisitions are fitting in well and all seems bright and rosy in Red Sox nation. The only negative I can see so far is that Hidiki Okajima has not regained his 2009 form ... he will probably be gone by April 1st, but we seem to have plenty of other bullpen help available. Theo's winter acguisitions all look terrific at this point. Tito has so many options in the bullpen and outfield that he doesn't know what to do and the Yankees are underwhelming at best.
Ain't spring wonderful!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Okajima hasn't made the team there are two other lefteys looking to fill that spot.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Ahhh ... a new season is about to begin and (most) all things are right in the Red Sox universe. On the downside, Youk is hitting below the Mendoza line (but we all know that will not last) and Papelbon seems to be continuing his erratic ways from the end of last season, (if that keeps up he wont be the closer for too long either). Other than that, the boys all seem healthy, the new guys are fitting in well and SI has annointed the Sox as the favorites to win it all.
Hope springs eternal Go Sox!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Batting Averages don't mean squat in March so I am not warried about Youk. On the upside Becket looked great last night and he was the one pitcher I was worried about.

Cant'r wait for tomorrow to get this season rolling!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:tpd::tpd:

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

SWEEET Carolinnnne, BAH BAH BAH


Oh wait what am I doing. :D

Go RedSOX

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Drew is out of the line up for tomorrow and he did not even get a chance to get hurt :r

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yeah he can't hit Wilson

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Thankful we're out of Texas!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yes, they need a change of scenery and a pitcher who can keep the ball on the ground. At least Crawford finally made contact.

Time for Beckett to prove he still is an Ace and not a #4 starter.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yeah it was good to see Crawford get on track

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:tpd: Who knew we would be looking at him for early season salvation!

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

No Panic yet
Wait til July

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Beckett and Dicek to right the ship. better get the rolaids out. haha

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I love this stat, Sox pitching had 12 strikeouts and gave up 11 homeruns.:td
It's going to be interesting if Lackey gets lit up in the home opener :sl

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Let's hope it was just the Rangers. That team looks very good. I don't think they'll have any problem without Lee

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

too earlty to tell what's going on with the sox...

we gotta get our bats going so the pitching can settle in...

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Clay Bucholtz had a two hitter going, both homeruns :D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Yankees Nation aka the Evil Empire is a bit touchy about the team's blatant cheating. I had one of their fans flip out on me after I asked an innocent question about the team's prospects if signalling is disallowed. Piss off one Yankee fan a day and life is better.:D:sl

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Cheating? haven't heard about it

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Aaaarrrrgghh!

Now we have to depend on DiceK. Thanks for the prediction Sports Illustrated.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

That's it the seasons over.:sl

Bring on Football Oh wait we might not have that either

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

If I have to take a bunch of cr@p from the Yankees' fans at work, it's gonna be a long friggin' season.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

He's tonight's ace:D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I'm glad the B's are on at the same time,by the time it's over Dice might be in the 5th inning :D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

And 150 pitches.;s

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

1st inning=28 pitches! Right on schedule :D

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Grrrrr Lester pitches a gem for 7 innings, Bard comes in walks the lead off batter, stolen base, suicide-squeeze one run in.
Sox get a chance in the ninth, bad base running by McDonald, game over, Mc would be on the bus to Pawtucket in the morning if I had my way.:mad

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Worst start since 1945.

The owner of my company WAS looking forward to the home opener ...

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

This one really hurt

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

WTF is up with the Sox...even the Mets have a better record

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

I knew their pitching would suck but never imagined it would be this bad. They have a realistic chance at starting 0-9 after this weekend.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

Lester pitched 7 innings today, 3 hits 3 walks 9 K. What sucks about that?

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

So to me it looks like Francona and his staff did not get these assclowns ready to play?
A clue was when they lost 10 straight in spring training.
What the heck were they doing, it must of been all fun in the sun?
A bad showing against the yanks and someone has to be made an example of:mad:

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

:tpd:

Dice-k also pitched good enough to win on his game. The hitting has sucked as well this year so far. I would rather see losses in April and wins in October.

Re: Red Sox Nation -Check In
 

You're absolutely right. These guys are making the bucks, it's time they realized they have to produce.
