    uhhh, that's what is appropriate for that garbage. That, and/or the next guy up gets one between the numbers. That's how you stop someone from showing you up. You think manny would have ever pulled that stunt with Bob Gibson on the mound?

    I am neither a Manny apologist nor a Manny detractor, but the way he stands at the plate and watches the ball really shows little-to-no respect for his opponent nor the Game of Baseball.

    The sad part is, in a contract year, he'll probably do a bit more posing this year because he'll be playing for that extra cash.

    If you are willing to show up mad early and wait in a line you can get Sox tickets before the game. They usually release 50 to 100 pairs when big wigs and players tickets etc. don't get used.

    Good luck.

    Go Sox!

    Are we talking 3 hours before game-time or 10 hours before?

    I'd do it, just need a rough estimate.

    Drew has an ailing back.

    Sox fall to 1-1. Not too bad. let's hope they work out the jet lag in LA before playing the A's again for real.

    The A's are the new bogey team for the Sox.

    3 actually. Against the Dodgers, 2 in Dodger stadium and 1 at the LA Coliseum with oer 100,000 expected in attendance.

    Besides the obvious money the owners will reap, the players wanted to play exhibitions this weekend so as not to have a week layoff before resuming play in Oaktown April1.

    Still good seats available for 2 games in Oakland next week ... seriously.

    I'll be there .... see you all there!

    The Sox payroll this year looks to be 7-8 million less than last year's and if they trade Crisp and/or Tavarez it could be 15 million less than the year before - which is pretty impressive considering they are keeping the World Series Champions intact.

    Well, I was close the Sox payroll this year is 10 million less than last year's and they brought virtually everyone back.

    Also, we're now 4th in payroll so hopefully all the talk about how the Sox are buying titles will stop for awhile.

    Dice K looked great last night if anyone stayed up to watch him. And Papelbon just blew away the A's batters in the 9th.

    Solat 13 are you a SoSH reader?

    Great game by Dice K. He finally stopped nibbling. Oh, and being 4th in payroll is awesome. Should shut up a few people on here.

    Yep, I'm registered as Solat13 on there as well. I had been lurking on the site since college until finally signing up for an id in 2005.

    Lots of interesting stuff on there.

    Definitely a great site, but it can get preachy at times. I find it helpful when having to deal with some of the more outrageous comments about the sox here. I'm just a lurker (americantrotter) I like reading it as it has brought me more into the game's inner workings and I understand things better than just knee jerk reactions now.

    Went to both Sox v A's games over the past few days.

    Dice K was dealin' .... was a bit worried after he gave up the homer to Cust then immediately went 3 - 0 on the next batter, but man, he came around, that showed me something.

    Lester looked good today, but, one thing that worried me, all three of his walks ... came on 3 - 0 pitches ... he was a bit erratic and the A's hit into 3 double plays which really helped. Still, I'll take that from the mid/back of the rotation young guy.

    Papi's HR today was c-r-u-s-h-e-d ... laser shot.

    On to Toronto ... admittedly, I'm a little nervous about Bucholz.

    Tek's homer's must have looked good? Well only 1 HR officially.

    Didn't see the game but the box scores looked nice. I'm registered on SoSH but I'm restricted to posting in the Sandbox...I lurked for a long time and applied for full membership several years back but was never granted it. It's a good resource for inside information. I was there constantly during the Santana trade talks.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    they just announced on the Red Sox station that the JAys will do this every Friday ("flashback Friday")

    Man, now if we could only get the Astros in their old Juaquin Andujar / Mike Scott rainbow uni's again!
