Now be honest here, everyone: are you going to be watching Texas @ Houston or Game of Thrones on Opening Night? I wouldn’t think less of you either way.
- After a fantastic March, Jackie Bradley may actually be getting his first taste of the big leagues much sooner than expected. It’s happening! (With Sweeney out, Bradley Jr. is in)
- So Daniel Bard got demoted in the end. We all thought he’d be at the Triple-A level. But he’s not going to Pawtucket, oh no – he’s going a bit farther north to be a Sea Dog. (Bard sent to Portland to ‘rebuild his delivery’)
- I, for one, welcome the fact that the front office doesn’t only use coin flips & darts to select who’s going to be on the roster. (A Look At How The Red Sox Arrive At Their Roster Decisions)
- Not a surprise, but still disappointing to see that Stephen Drew isn’t fully healthy yet. Concussions are never easy to come back from. (Stephen Drew placed on seven-day disabled list)
- In a move that I’m sure shocked the world, Jon Lester was named the Opening Day starter against the Yankees. I mean, you didn’t expect John Lackey, right? …Right? (Jon Lester named Red Sox’ Opening Day starter)
- Most consider a starter reaching the 200 innings pitch mark a workhorse. Take Ryan Dempster for example. Now, Clay Buchholz needs to follow his lead. (Clay Buchholz’ IP address blank)
- I’m not going to make this comment a pun on WAR, because that’s tasteless and overused and just no. (Unifying Replacement Level)
- *turns off TV, throws it out window, pouts* GET OUT OF MY LIFE. (Bobby Valentine will work 12-15 Mets games for SNY)
No, really! I don’t mind if you want to watch Tyrion Lannister mentally destroy people than see the Rangers physically destroy the Astros.
