You can't win a pennant in April, but you can lose one.

There's been a couple of Bright spots this year so far....Beltre has been stroking the Ball well. And Hermida keeps hitting in limited play. Lackey has also been pitching well.

Papi is Killing us though....

Power outtage...on all fronts

Twins shut out Sox 8-0, and B's lose 2-1.... Celts haven't exactly been lighting it up either.... Gonna be a long spring /summer I'm afraid.

The Sox usually have a strong start of the season. At least there not getting our hopes up early and fading later.

If they played anywhere but the AL east, i wouldnt be concerned... I'm aftraid the hole will be too big to climb out of...

A good run is better than a bad stand!

Good analogy... far too much money put into a system that will eventually be taken offline. Papi comes to mind here.

The Red Sox do suck, right now. We'll see if this changes. I won't be surprised either way.

It would be nice if they could throw out a runner stealing second....Tamba Bay has been making them look foolish in that respect.

They have the two worst throwing arms in baseball, in Varitek and Martinez.

Someone should have clued in Theo over the winter that if the new look Sox are all about "pitching and run-prevention", turning any walk into a de facto double because their catchers can't throw out a freaking guy on crutches isn't the best way to achieve that.

Hey, Nancy might be hitting under a buck-fifty, but after all--average and RBI are a primitve way of judging a player's worth---think of how many runs he prevents

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
