Julio Lugo takes over for Green when he gets back from his injury.

soxmuscle · 04-05-2009, 02:14 PM

Jed Lowrie hit a grand slam off Oliver Perez in Boston's 9-3 win over the Mets on Saturday.
Lowrie ends the spring as Boston's best hitter, finishing at .343/.400/.657 with three homers and 16 RBI. Hopefully, that would have been enough to earn him a starting job regardless of what happened with Julio Lugo. If he keeps producing, he deserves to play over Lugo once the veteran makes it back in mid-April.

Min0, take notes.

That was against Oliver Perez, an average pitcher.

He has good games but then he has his games where he can't get anyone out.

Not discrediting Lowrie but Perez may be sent to the minors soon if he keeps this up.

I'm just busting your balls...

**I Are Baboon** · 04-06-2009, 09:09 AM

Opening Day postponed to 4:05 tomorrow.

Eff the rain and eff Paul O'Neil.

**IainDaniel** · 04-06-2009, 09:10 AM

The one and only good thing about a shitty dome.

**calalily1972** · 04-06-2009, 11:25 AM

And I'm working from home today so I could watch it

**IainDaniel** · 04-06-2009, 11:30 AM

Trade you your rain for my snow

min0 lee · 04-06-2009, 11:41 AM

All is not lost, I believe the Yankee game will go on today if it stops raining.

shiznit2169 · 04-06-2009, 12:27 PM

The first week or two of baseball should ALWAYS open up in the south/west and dome stadiums. April is known for rain so these schedule makers are morons.

The sox should have opened up at the Trop in Tampa and then we'd actually have a game to watch. Now i have to wait another 24 hours.

I am actually looking forward to watching it. That's one good thing about the Yankees reloading...it gives me something to watch when the Red Sox are not on.

CC looks like a gamble long term.....if he lets his weight get out of control I see big problems.

**calalily1972** · 04-06-2009, 01:10 PM

Grrr.... I'm so pissed right now. I would have actually gone to work today and taken tomorrow out if I'd known

It's been raining here all day long, TV has to much power...this is their idea.

It makes no sense to me either.

This is the Red Sox you are talking about.

soxmuscle · 04-06-2009, 02:05 PM

The schedule makers as a whole. Every year, the way it's done seems silly.

I'm watching the Reds/Mets game right now and it looks like a mid-December Bengals/Jets game with what the fans are wearing.

• A reminder that Opening Day doesn't always come with warm weather. The season opener between the White Sox and Royals was postponed Sunday because the forecast in Chicago called for snow Monday. Mark Buehrle will have to wait another day before taking the mound for the White Sox.

Isn't the weather better in KC?

**I Are Baboon** · 04-13-2009, 06:32 AM

2-4, soxmuscle. WTF?

min0 lee · 04-13-2009, 06:35 AM

Doesn't mean anything, it's still early.

**IainDaniel** · 04-13-2009, 07:26 AM

zactly... Jays are 5-2 and will be lucky to finish above 500

**I Are Baboon** · 04-14-2009, 06:45 AM

2-5 and Jon Lester has gotten lit up twice.

WTF.

**I Are Baboon** · 04-14-2009, 07:21 AM

I have both Jon Lester and Chien Ming Wang on my fantasy team. Yesterday was not a good day.

min0 lee · 04-14-2009, 11:45 AM

The Rays look tough..

soxmuscle · 04-14-2009, 02:54 PM

Boy, what a good time to be without a lap top.

There's some definite drama that we're missing out on here with me on the DL, Min0

min0 lee · 04-14-2009, 03:14 PM

Oh yeah.

soxmuscle · 04-14-2009, 03:19 PM

I will say though...

I'm not terribly concerned with the way the seasons started. Obviously, I'd prefer them to be 8-0, pitching lights out and scoring runs at will, but that isn't in the deck of cards.

Still 154 more games left - win one in Oakland, get back on the right track and sweep Baltimore at home and their right back at five hundred.

Finally, the Beckett suspension from today is a complete fucking joke. Joe West, the umpire who called the game, said this:

“He took too long delivering the ball,” said crew chief Joe West. “Abreu called time, which is normal. Then Beckett, in the middle of throwing the ball, threw the ball. They should throw the ball, rather than risk an injury.

“Did he throw it up and in? Yeah. Do we believe he threw it at Abreu? No. Would we have warned him had both benches not emptied? Probably not, but because both benches emptied, we did issue a warning,” explained West.

...And then Yankee fan, Bob Watson who somehow still has his cock so deep inside Bud Selig despite showing ridiculous bias on numerous occasions goes against the opinions of the umpires who called the game and doled out a suspension only to Beckett and the Red Sox.

Beckett has had one lackluster inning in his two starts this year, but making him angry and hungry really doesn't bother me.

soxmuscle · 04-14-2009, 03:22 PM

And last but not least, Derek Jeter has been absolutely pitiful thus far which is just icing on the cake.

.207 .258 .310 .568
This line just cracks me up - you'd think he'd be leading off for the Red Sox with those kind of disgusting numbers.
