Re: Boston Red Sox - 2006

I started to grow a little sick of Yanks/Sox on Opening Day of last year.

Like most other things, the media just overkilled everything. I went home for lunch today and flipped on YES and of course it's showing a "classic" game between the Yanks/Sox (it was the game from '02 when Urbina walked Posada w. the bases loaded to force in the winning run).

Plus the revolving door of players makes it hard to keep the same level of intensity. I mean the Sox have an entirely new infield this year! I'm not going to be nearly as hyped to see all these newbies and FA's clash with the Yanks who have the same amount of fresh faces.

The final straw was last year on Opening Day like I said. I mean, the Sox had just won the title after knocking off the Yanks last October and they have them open the season against each other - and to make things worse friggen Randy Johnson is now pitching for us?

Now this year we have the "king idiot" in Damon playing CF for us.

It's just rediculous lately.
