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

    In fairness to me, I didn't see Bard pitch today.

    Despite purchasing MLB extra innings and watching dozens of games last season, I rarely saw Bard pitch last summer, either. But I've seen him throw a lot. Including this evening.

        My belief is that every team should win their home opener, so yesterday did not bother me. Now, if they lose today.......

          I hated Mike Napoli when he was with the Angels. Good to see I can now hate him in a completely different city! Yay!

          So our weakness is still the back of the bullpen?

            I'd say yes - though it'll be impossible to pass judgment for a few more games, and until we've seen Papelbon and Jenks.

            I'm just not a Bard fan. His overall numbers are pretty good, but they're deceiving. He's like that power hitter who belts 3-run HRs when the team is already up 6-0, but reliably whiffs with the game on the line. Not good under pressure.

              "Run Prevention" sounds pretty good about now.

                Too early to ask whether this lineup doesn't like teh lefthanders?

                Or did this Matt Harrison guy really become Randy Johnson during the offseason?

                  Time to hit the panic button yet? Losing 3 in a row is one thing...getting systematically destroyed is another...

                    It's April 3. People need to calm down.

                        I'm not REALLY panicing. I do realize it's April. But it's not an ideal start. Not in the slightest.

                          You took the words right off my keyboard. *This* thread needs to calm down? Possibly the right message, but definitely not the right forum

                          We're talking about the Red Sox. This thread is on quaaludes.

                            No, I said that "people" need to calm down. My twitter feed is on fire with people who think the season is already a waste.

                            As I said on there earlier, "Red Sox fans are stuck in a pre-2004 mentality." It's a LONG season.

                              So then tweet back. This board != your twitter feed.

                              If you don't want people to chat about day-to-day stuff, then this is going to be one astoundingly boring thread. My $.04

                                That was also a response to UNH GH as well.

                                Heidi Watney is advising people not to jump yet.

                                Adrian Gonzalez said it's early, players are still figuring things out. He's surprised at the start but not worried. #RedSox #DontJump
                                Players are "shocked" as Buchholz said, but know there are 159 games left to play better.
