    There's a new Dewey in Boston. His name is Bobby Jenks.

    Wow. Rough day for spring training pitchers in SW Florida.

    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Oh this is just fantastic. Curt Schilling says the players already don'tlike Valentine. 99.99% of the time, I think he should just shut up, but I am down with this.

    Chris Carpenter--aka the other Chris Carpenter, aka "the guy Boston got for Theo Epstein"--needs surgery on his throwing elbow to remove a bone spur. He had passed his physical before joining the Red Sox, though, so it's unlikely that they'll get to send him back and get someone else.

    Looks like I'll be seeing a game in San Fran on April 16th and at Fenway on the 18th. Will be my first time in your cute little stadium.

    Funny story...we had our fantasy draft last sunday and right before one of my middle round picks the wi fi cuts out. I log back on to find that it auto-picked Brett Gardner for me. I felt like throwing my laptop out the window.

    He's as good as traded once the season starts. Haven't had a Yankee on my team in 5 years, and I've enjoyed success in the league despite it.

    F Brett Gardner. I hope he tears all the ligaments out of his knee by May 1. I wanna punch him right in his stupid face. Haha

    I would wish injuries on your team but they're all already hurt...

    Yeah, because Chris Carpenter, Rich Hill, Dewey Jenks, Hoss Lackey and Dice were really being counted on to win games this year for us. :roll: And Crawford will have a rebound year, despite starting the year on the DL. How's Joba's ankle doing by the way?

    A bunch of shitty names, but I think you guys would GLADLY take Dick K this year. Perhaps even Lackey. If I were Pineda I would put a fastball right on Crawfords wrist. Pitchers are going to jam him up so bad this year, it's going to be awesome.

    I'll take Bard and Aceves over Hoss and Dice. Oh man I can't wait for this season to start. Maybe Trot Nixon can come out of retirement to pummel that fat bastard on the mound in front of 38k in Fenway.

    Thanks, man. That there will, especially as you guys are looking up at the Rays and Yanks ;)

    Edit: You guys do have a mean lineup. That's all I'll give you.

    I really see Cody Ross having a good year.
    His swing is a perfect fit for Fenway.
    Kind of like a Nick Esasky from out of nowhere big year.
    I drafted him in both of my fantasy teams.

    Beckett is going to Cleveland for a 2nd opinion on his thumb. Supposedly, he's just going for his own peace of mind and not because he got bad news from the first doctor. I guess we'll know by the weekend if that's really the case or not.

    so i'm presenting on the complicated changing face of Red Sox Nation up in Boson next Wednesday. Off the top of anyone's heads what are some of the most ridiculous and annoying things you can purchase from the Red Sox? I came up with DestiNations, RSN Membership, Green Monster seats in Ft. Myers, the Budweiser Beer Deck and all the other crazy corporate sponsorship they've done, Kid Nation, and all the stupid gear like the "commemorative" Brewers-Red Sox 2011 hat (among every other series) that my wife grabbed last year. I can get the website stuff, but is there anything local that is just out of this world corporate pandering?

    no need to boone it up...i just got back from telling a bunch of sport management undergrads in Amherst, MA mean things about their fandom - especially since one of their own is the GM.
