Day off today then headed to Fenway South. Time to keep things rolling.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

Yes that's right the team isn't playing well in all areas of the game. The Sox are 14th in team batting in the AL @ 170. average that's NOT going to cut to make the playoffs. I'd be pretty when any team is playing like that.

Should I drop Beckett from my fantasy team or is this dude gonna get it together?
words seem so out of place.

Without knowing the parameters of your league, it's impossible to answer that question. That said, I can't imagine there are many formats where you'd be dropping Beckett a month into the season. It's like people saying they'd want to drop Mark Teixeria.
As for the Sox, the injuries to 2/3 of the starting outfield haven't helped, notably Ellsbury who is such a catalyst for the offense. When they went into this season wtih a weaker offense, that's been a huge loss. They just left little room for error, and got burned on it thus far.
I'm not terribly worried about the pitching, they've underperformed thus far, but, feel they'll come around.
Question is, how much of a hole will be dug before they turn shit around ... it could work out that they play .650 ball from June 1 on, but if they are 8 games back or still 3- 6 games under .500 at that point, it might not be enough to overtake the Yanks and Rays.

Good to see the bats come alive last night. Could have used a few of those runs over the weekend.

One day at a time. We will right the ship.

Another nice win. Lester and Santana were both on their game tonight.

Turning out to be a nice BEANTOWN night. The Sox win behind some great pitching from Lachey.

Back to late 2009? eh, potentially. He still looks really bad at times though, but, he's fighting through it. Hopefully he'll be a little better a little sooner than he was last year.

Hands down my favorite player when I was a teenager. His interview during the radio broadcast was great too.

Today on Mike and Mike they were speaking about Ortiz and his batting after the count is 0-1. Take a look at his stats through the years and his career...

Of course the 2004 is unlikely to come back. But give the pitchers some reasons to fear you, for god´s sake.
In the past years the sox have lost power, I know, but I am being stubborn, and despite this very slow start, I like the lineup. Where we lost power, we gained in balance. But for this we need big papi to bat at least above .250 and be a decent slugger. Anyone in the lineup (with jacoby and cameron) are a highly significant threat at any given chance.
Hands down my favorite player when I was a teenager. His interview during the radio broadcast was great too.
Was my favorite player also, but I was in my late 20's when he came up.
Loved the hustle.
He got a great response from the crowd today.
I still wear my Trot Nixon jersey t-shirt every now and then. He was my favorite as well.
I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

They were 4th in home runs last year and are 3rd in home runs this year.
The power numbers have been fine.
Ortiz has struggled bad, but the guy that has sucked is Victor.
Victor doing nothing and Jacoby being hurt are the main reasons for the offensive struggles.
Things will turn around.
Speaking of Nomar...I shelved my jersey with his name on it when he was traded but I guess I can wear it again with pride since he retired a Sox huh? Just thought of that
All I have to do is revel in the everyday....then do it again tomorrow
They say every sin is deadly but I believe they may be wrong...I'm guilty of all seven and I don't feel too bad at all

there were more posts before the win than after.
but now that you mention it ... indeed, nice to see the Sox pound out some runs last night.

define "back".
Back to his 2004 ways? No way.
