Boston Red Sox - 2006

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Ortiz in a Boston uniform til 2010-11= The AL East trembling in fear!

Oh and I have a question, why does opening day in Boston start at 2 PM? Is there some story behind that or just tradition?

For the last few years it has started at 2. I don't know how far back the tradition goes, though.

It's about time schools get out so I don't know if that matters.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

I'd say Willie Harris since he can play both. I'm also not sure what Mohr's status is. Did he have to accept the assignment to the minors? IE would we risk losing him if we called him up and tried to send him down again?

Yes, Mohr accepted the demotion to AAA instead of looking to catch on to another major ball club.

Ortiz isn't the greatest looking man in the world (understatement)... But at least he can dress well.

Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

Yeah, seriously....he make look like Shrek, but damn he dresses like a pimp.

I'm sure, if Acid paid attention to baseball, he'd call him a STUD.

Well I was fortunate enough to have one of the sorest throats of my life this morning, so I won't have to be cutting class for the home opener (which is what happened for the season opener)

I'm stuck at work but will have it on the radio. I can't believe I'm not at this game. I did get tickets to Saturday and Sunday though, so will get to see Beckett then.

Sign up for Red Sox replay. It's $50 for the season but you get access to buy season ticket holders seats at face value.

Toronto will take 2 out of 3. I fully expect a thourough beat down against Towers this afternoon though.

Wish the game as during the evening though. Got basketball at 2. Luckly the training rooms have 6-7 TV's so I'll be able to check up on the Jays

Yeah, it's worked well for me in the past and they have quite a few tickets available. Pretty much all the home games in April have 20+ offers available. A lot of them are the real expensive seats but I got a pair of bleachers for $40 for Sunday.

Stern will be starting now that Crisp is out

Don't have to worry about Coco

I hope Stern plays so well that he'll have to stick with the big club. I doubt it tho, but if his WBC performance is any indication then he's going to be a big star.

I like Stern but they just don't have any room for him when everybody's healthy. It's not like you can just bench Manny, Crisp or Nixon. I think Nixon will be gone next year and Stern will split time with Wily Mo.
