Schilling to Pitch his last game on opening day!
Curt Schilling vs. Kansas City Royals


Schilling was 5-2 and had 60 Strikeouts


Boston, MA -- Curt Schilling is expected to start against the Kansas City Royals on opening day, but that will be his last game with the Red Sox. The Owner feels that he is overpaid and is still upset with the Bloody Sock incident. Curt Schilling went 5-2 and had 60 Strikeouts last season. Also the new General Manager Jeremy Moore has released the Lineup and Pitching Rotation for the 2006-2007 Season.


LINEUP

1. Julio Lugo SS
2. Coco Crisp CF
3. David Ortiz 1B
4. Manny Ramirez LF
5. J.D. Drew RF
6. Mike Lowell 3B
7. Jason Varitek C
8. Dustin Pedroia 2B
9. Determined at Game


Pitching Rotation

1. Curt Schilling(1 Game Only)
2. Josh Beckett
3. Dennis Miles
4. Johnathan Papelbon
5. Tim Wakefield
6. Daisuke Matsuzaka



Will the Boston Red Sox be able to continue on without Schilling? April 2nd is opening day. Let's hope Curt Schilling can make a good impression on the Owner to make him stay!

Schilling Not Happy with his Peformance
Red Sox 5, Royals 2


Curt Schilling was taken out when he hit 2 Batters with pitches


Kansas City, MO -- Curt Schilling's last game and he had a bad day on the mound. He only pitched 4 2/3 Innings and was taken out and replaced by Johnathan Papelbon who was awarded the win instead of Schilling. Gil Meche was awarded the loss who gave up 8 hits and 5 runs. He was taken out in the 6th Inning. Two other pitchers got playing time for KC. Also J.D. Drew and Kevin Youkilis hit Home Runs today. That was only 2 of 5 Runs added on by Boston. Boston goes to 1-0 and Kansas City moves to 0-1. These two teams will meet again in 2 days.

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

New Pitcher Ivan Easley to replace Curt Schilling
Free Agent Signed, Can He Do Better than Schilling?


He was the best Pitcher when he played College Baseball. He carried Cal State Fullerton
to a National Championship.


Boston, MA -- Curt Schilling is gone and Ivan Easley comes in to replace him. We asked several players about their thoughts of the new pitchers. None of them would comment. The GM Jeremy Moore thought this would be a great addition but the players are still upset with the owner of him releasing Schilling. Ivan Easley will make his first MLB Start against the next game against Kansas City Royals. As of right now, he only has 2 Supporters. Daisuke Matsuzaka and David Ortiz. We will find out tonight if Ivan Easley is the one to replace Schilling or is he just a Rookie who can't pitch in the MLB.

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

Boston Couldn't do it in Game 2
Rookie had a bad day and so did the Closer
Red Sox 2, Royals 5


Mike Timlin came in for the Rookie Ivan Easley but didn't do any
better than what the Rookie had left him with.

Kansas City, MO -- Boston couldn't do anything with Ivan Easley. Ivan gave up 7 hits and now has a ERA of 11.25. The Royals scored 2 in the 1st Inning, then Ortiz and Varitek blasted Back to Back Home Runs to tie it up at 2. Then the Royals took advantage of the Rookie and got more runs in. The Red Sox nor the Royals had scored since the 3rd Inning. Royals win the 2nd game of the series 5-2.

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

Kansas City defeats Boston again!
Red Sox 5, Royals 7


Mike Sweeney blasted a Home Run to take the lead and
took the Royals to a 7-5 win over the Red Sox.


Kansas City, MO -- Last game of the series and Kansas City just walked all over Boston. It looked like Boston had this game early in the game when they went 5-0 but then the Royals made a huge comeback and tied it at 5. Then Mike Sweeney blasted a 2 Run HR to take the lead 7-5, and that would be the final score of the game. Kansas City wins this series 2 games out of 3. Boston moves to 1-2 and Kansas City goes to 2-1. Boston gets set for a 3 game weekend series against the Texas Rangers. Daisuke Matsuzaka will start the first. Josh Beckett will start the 2nd Game. Then Johnathan Papelbon will finish the series off. The Statistics of this game will be out soon as the Officials are uncertain of the correct hits.

Boston(1-2) @ Texas(1-2)

VARITEK!!
Jason Varitek hits Game Winning HR against Texas
Red Sox 11, Rangers 10


Jason Varitek blasts a Solo HR in the top of the 9th to take the lead. That would be the
last score of the game!

Arlington, TX -- After coming out of a 1-2 series against Kansas City, the Boston Red Sox was looking for some hope in this team. Daisuke Matsuzaka was expected to start but didn't. Tim Wakefield started but was replaced by Matsuzaka. The Red Sox kept this game close. The Rangers was up 4-0 by the 3rd Inning. The Red Sox scored 4 Runs in the 5th and the Rangers scored 6 Runs in the 5th to make it 10-4. By the 7th Inning it was 10-10, and at the top of the 9th Jason Varitek blasted a Homer to take the lead and won the game.

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

Papelbon too much for Texas
Pitching Rotation messed up, but it doesn't matter to Papelbon
Red Sox 3, Rangers 1


Papelbon pitched for all 9 Innings and got 11 Strikeouts


Arlington, TX -- Congratulations to Johnathan Papelbon, his shoulder must be killing him after pitching the whole game. He only gave up 5 hits and 1 run. He struck out 11 batters. Media has been calling him the next Roger Clemens. The Rangers only run came in the Bottom of the 9th when Michael Young hit a Solo Home Run with 2 Outs. Papelbon would strike out the next batter to end the game.

The Statistics was messed up during the game, these will be placed on as soon as possible.

Boston goes to 3-2

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

Red Sox and Rangers finish in 12 Innings
GM was thrown out and Mike Timlin took over the mound
Red Sox 1, Rangers 0



Timlin pitched the 10,11, and 12th
inning against the Rangers


Arlington, TX -- This game took forever to finish. After both teams pitched a shut out for 9 innings, it went to extras. It took exactly 12 innings to finish it as Coco Crisp blasted a Solo Home Run to put the Red Sox up 1-0. Mike Timlin then had to come out and pitch the last three outs which he did perfectly. Ivan Easley came back from a horrible peformance against Kansas City and struck out 15 batters. Timlin struck out 5 batters. The Red Sox have proved that they can play baseball when it gets dramatic.

Matsuzaka comes to Fenway Park
Debut Time



Boston, MA -- Well Boston is coming home for six games. 3 against Seattle and 3 against LA Angels of Anaheim. Matsuzaka is making his Fenway Park debut infront of the home crowd in the 2nd game of the Seattle series. Matsuzaka has already made an appearance but was just a closer. This time he will be starting!

Re: Boston Red Sox (MLB 2K7)

Matsuzaka Perfect!
Red Sox is on a Hot Streak
Mariners 8, Red Sox 11




Boston, MA -- Matsuzaka is perfect in Fenway Park debut. At first he seemed sluggish but after having a conference with Jason Varitek, he began to show fans that he is worthy of being in Boston. He pitched all 9 Innings with 6 Strikeouts. Great Day in Boston as they continue their win streak to 4 games.

Jason Varitek hits his 4th Home Run of the Season
Mariners 1, Red Sox 17



When will Jason Varitek's luck come to an end?

Boston, MA -- It is Game 2 of the series and Boston is looking to sweep Seattle. So far so good as the completely destroy the Mariners after hitting 5 Home Runs. Wakefield did a good job on the mound, Okajima came in to replace him at the end because he tore a ligament in his ankle, he will be out for 15 days.
