In less than 4 hours, The Boston Red Sox will take the field in Kansas City to kick off the 2007 Campaign–and the number that just popped into my head? 102.

And if Opening Day does not get here soon, I may not be responsible for my actions–I swear this off-season was 3 years long…
Lucky Dice: Throwing 104 pitches, only 50 for strikes, Daisuke pitched 5 innings of no-hit ball…striking out 6, but walking FIVE…Not the stellar performance he has against the Pirates, but no one [...]

Which is kind of ironic–because they have yet to win a game in Spring training, the closest they came is the TIE that has last week with the Sox. Their record? 0-4-1–The Sox? 1-3-1–one word–UGH…
Some good things in the game: Curt Schilling pitched 3 1/3 allowing only 1 run on a homer to Michael Cuddyer, [...]

Our record to date:Â a win, a loss, and a draw..would rather be 3-0, but at least we are not 0-3…
The loss: Kason Gabbard had the start and gave up a hot and run in his 2 innings of work, Devern Hansack (yes, the pitcher who has the no-no in the last game of the season-even [...]

Special thanks to Kaylee for finding this…
Check it out for yourself here (I’m Jason Varitek)…and here is another one: Are you a True Red Sox Fan?
Some random thoughts to go with the tests: In a fairly surprising move, Keith Foulke announced his retirement yesterday. Said Foulke in a statement: “While preparing for the 2007 season, [...]

Before I get to the remaining players in my beloved team, I just have one comment…
Johnny Damon betrays a nation, and his number is not used for a year (Daisuke now has it..) But TROT, who was never anything but a stellar member of the Sox, 15 minutes after he is out the door, his [...]

Whooo Hoo! In 7 Days, the festivities will officially begin when the pitchers and catchers to Fort Meyers to kick off the Boston Red Sox 2007 Campaign…surprisingly, there is still very little to talk about–I mean, how many times can we rehash the fact that the bullpen, while stocked with alot of arms, is still [...]

I would be a liar if I didn’t admit that the thought of adding Todd Helton to the starting 9 is a very heady idea..but right now, that is pretty much all it is…
The big story this weekend is that Colorado has approached the Red Sox about the possibility of trading Todd Helton (and his [...]

That is how long it took for the Sox to work out the “minor language issues” with J.D. Drew and his agent, Lou-Cipher…Apparently the protection the Sox were looking for has been agreed to– the ability to void the contract’s final 2 years if his right shoulder fails in the 3rd year. If aninjury occurs [...]
