Lifetime Sox fan. It is in the blood.

As a lifetime Sox fan, shouldn't you be more pessimistic???? I mean, I usually am. I decided before the season started to not be so pessimistic. An look where that got me!!!!!! GAH!! It's all on me. Sorry Sox fans. I hope it's not too late to give up.

Happy about AGonz because, yeah, HAWT.[/shallow female fanspeak]

Heading to Fenway tonight for my first game of the year. Hope it's not too cold. Thankfully no rain!

Optimism is permitted the first few weeks of the season. Of course "optimism" usually means "Hideo Nomo will pitch five more no-hitters this year" whereas this year it means "maybe the Sox will break .500".

C'mon, if you don't review that then why have replay?

And Buchholz, try not to come so close to giving up a 3run HR with your next pitch.

Was it a homerun? Yahoo Sports has it 0-0 but the box score says Lind hit a 3 run homerun.

Play was reviewed and the homerun was called back.

The thing with Pedroia - and also Ortiz - was that when he started slowly, the rest of the team could pick him up. It just doesn't work as well when the team is playing like garbage and Pedroia alone is trying to pick them up.

They still have a chance to take this series v Toronto. To do it, they'll need a win today. Beckett takes the mound against Jo-Jo Reyes. If Boston finds a way to lose this one . . .

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent

That was better...

Question for the week (weak?): Salty or 'Tek?

[NMU8405]

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent

Beckett has looked great so far this season and is something to build on. Im assuming Sunday's game will be rained out, so Lester, who was supposed to go tomorrow will probably be moved to Monday morning, instead of Dice-K. Which, is just postponing the inevitable, Dice-Ks last start for awhile.

Re: The 2011 Boston Red Sox: This Space for Rent

Tek with Beckett, Lester, and Buchholtz; Salty with the mistakes.

Sunday's game will be played under mostly sunny skies with a brisk wind blowing out to right. The rain has already ended.

Thanks to baseball-reference.com for this nugget:

The 2007 Phillies started 4-11 and still won the NL East with a record of 89-73
The 2001 A's started 4-11 and ended up winning the wild card with a record of 102-60

All is not lost for the Sox just yet.
