Red Sox Nation -Check In

Nice win by Lester last night for a sweep of the Jays. Two good pitching performances on consecutive nights - this is what we all envisioned this past winter. Now on to Baltimore for some fun before the Yankees and Angels come to town. By the way - nice to see Papelbon get his save without any drama.

Hope we get Elsbury back soon, I miss the excitement he brings to the game ... though McDonald has realy swung the bat well - he has earned the right to stick around for a while.

Upon reflection - you guys are right about Wakefield - he is the right guy to go to the pen - for now. I was just being sentimental about the old guy getting dissed.

I hope that this little stint in the minors has made an impact on Dice-K with regards to listening to his coaches & trainers. Time will tell. Hey, maybe he has pickeced up the pace of his pitching too. Well-we can hope.

McDonald has been playing center, hasn't he? Think they will keep him up once Cameron is back? Can we hope?

I would at least keep him as a reserve - he's earned that.

Swept by the worst team in baseball

Things are going to get ugly as soon as the Bruins and Celtics are out of the playoffs.

Tough year so far, really not a good sign coming out of the gate this slowly. Pitching is horrible especially the bullpen. Hitting is pretty bad as well. Tito needs to make a few moves or else this season will turn into a wash by June.

Change that to "Girardi", and you could be talking about my Yankees this time last year. It's freakin' May 3, for Kris'sakes! Anything can happen.
