Opening Day

Well, it's been a pretty disappointing game so far... Meche just came out of the game and ironically enough the only person to manage an RBI so far for the Sox has been Papi. Lugo just got his first hit of the game but looked silly facing Meche and striking out three times. Schilling had a rough game too, 30 pitches to get out of the first while walking in a run. Honestly it looks like we're still playing spring training ball today. I guess I got my answer about Meche, since he was more than able to shutdown an offense like ours for 7+ innings. Maybe the Royals' pen will blow another game and we'll come up with 6 runs in an inning or so, but I'm not getting that vibe. Anyway, congrats thusfar to the Royals, they've played a much better game than we have...

PS: Kauffman Stadium looked great today with the fountains turned on full blast and the 80 degree weather. It was nice seeing that place packed for a change.

24-ish hours to go

The Boston Globe has an excellent story today about Scott Boras, the man we all love to hate. It's definitely worth a read as you sit drinking your coffee on a Sunday afternoon.

I literally can't wait for tomorrow's game. Despite being against KC, arguably the most boring team in the majors over the past few seasons, it has the potential to be quite interesting. We all get our first real glance at Gil Meche, the high-profile, 5 year, $55 million free agent signing that the Royals made this winter. While the reason they spent so much for the unimpressive stats this man possesses is still beyond me, I'm hoping to at least get some insight when he faces off against Schilling tomorrow.
