Red Sox 2009 Season[views:28448][posts:159]___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:35am - arilliusbm ""] Begins today at 2PM. My outlook: Beckett with blow it, followed by having another shit year. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:37am - dreadkill ""] i'm not excited for baseball at all. :( |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:37am - arilliusbm ""] I'm still in Bruins/Celtics mode myself. |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:39am - brian_dc ""] English Premier League or bust |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:41am - RustyPS ""] Beckett had a shitty year? maybe by his standards, but not by the league's standards |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:43am - arilliusbm ""] Disappointing year. Especially after the year he had 2 years ago. Definitely a shitty year for a "top-notch" pitcher. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:46am - boblovesmusic ""] Personally I think there should be mines and other dangerous obstacles on the field to make things more exciting. "oooh, Manny is running towards home!!" *boom!* "Aww didn't make it.. but his head!" did! |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:47am - arilliusbm ""] One thing I must say though.. the Red Sox relief pitching (especially 7th-8th inning) has the possibility to be lights out all season long. Ortiz? He'll suck. If you look at his stats, they line up perfectly with the roid era. He's been a stiff for a while now. 28hr, 101RBI this year. I'd hope 45hr, 130RBI this year but I doubt it. Hopefully his .avg will be above 300. |
| __________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:48am - dreadkill ""] i can't believe baseball is dropping to my 4th favorite out of the 4 big sports. i never thought basketball would overtake it, but it is. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:48am - RustyPS ""] what a negative nancy lol EDIT: that was at aril |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:49am - SkinSandwich ""] They will get rained out today anyway. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:49am - arilliusbm ""] haha, one must be negative to be a Sox Fan. |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:50am - arilliusbm ""] What you talking about? Fenway's got a retractable roof now? |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:51am - arilliusbm ""] True, but after losing to the Rays last year and with the powerhouse Yankees this year, the negativity is sinking in again. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:51am - RustyPS ""] lol I'm surprised Lucchino hasn't done that yet |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:52am - brian_dc ""] then he could hang people by the legs from the roof and charge $100 for the spectacular, unique view. Get on it, Larry. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:52am - RustyPS ""] the Yankees will falter again....putting together teams like they do doesn't work in baseball anymore they'll start out like a house of fire then fizzle out IMO |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 9:54am - RustyPS ""] hell, look at the Redskins, they do the same thing and haven't gone anywhere either |

| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:06am - RustyPS ""] EEI just announced the game is postponed till tomorrow |
| ____________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:06am - arilliusbm ""] Due to the near certainty of heavy rain in the Boston area this afternoon, today's Red Sox-Rays Opening Day game at Fenway Park has been postponed to tomorrow, Red Sox president Larry Lucchino said this morning on Boston sports radio station WEEI. It will be played at 4:05 p.m. tomorrow afternoon. More to come ... |

| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:42am - Yeti ""] haha excellent. |
| _______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:42am - rbss ""] I'm wicked excited that baseball is starting again. Can't wait to listen to games on the radio all the time. The Sox are gonna be fuckin sick this year. Fuck the "powerhouse Yankees." |
| _______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 10:44am - rbss ""] Of course, for as long as the Cs and Bs are in the playoffs that is all that really matters. Only then will baseball be worthy of undivided attention. |

| ___________________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] agreed although i do appreaciate a good remy rambling every so often |
| ________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:05am - xmikex ""] Predictions for the 2009 season: - I will be bored stupid with baseball for several months. - The Yankees will face injuries to a handful of key players and trade away all their minor league prospects for whatever big name is on the trading block. - Curt Schilling still can't wait to tell you what he thinks about stuff. - Dustin Pedroia will continue to be the fucking man. - Gullible people will still continue to be mad at Manny Ramirez for no real reason. - Girls will attend baseball games that they lack the ability to comprehend. - Larry Luchino will block out the sun in a Mr. Burns-esque display of super villainy. - The supposed ticket price freeze (probably the most backhanded favor ever) will be made up for in a 300% increase in concession prices. - I will complain about baseball, but still follow it every day, goto games whenever I get the opportunity, and scream at the TV whenever applicable. |

| ____________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:18am - arilliusbm ""] I guess the reason why I'm negative about the sox is again is due to my Dysthymic disorder. Viewing the glass half empty ftw |

| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:24am - dreadkill ""] i'm negative about baseball. all the steroids and asterisks in the record books are getting me down. maybe i'll snap out of it when the summer hits, but i just don't love baseball like i used to. i'll really miss hockey once the playoffs are over. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:28am - BSV ""] As of now I'm much more concerned with Bruins and then the Celts. I really don't get into Baseball until All-Star Break. I'll definately watch and follow, read the globe (if it's still in print) but Baseball isn't Baseball until August. I'm baffled that they're opening at home this early. I'm also baffled by the surge in pink hats....I know a bunch of girls having opening day parties but still don't know shit about Rich Gedman, the toilet stance or Scott Cooper hitting the cycle. |
| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:29am - BSV ""] btw, what's the rotation for the Yankees look like?? |
| _________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:31am - RustyPS ""] Fat Albert Sabathia, Wang, Pettitte, Burnett, Joba |
| ______________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:34am - BSV ""] that's way too much pressure for Sabathia. |
| ___________________________________ [Apr 6,2009 11:40am - dreadkill ""] petitte=old burnett=brittle joba=terrible and uglier than a bag full of assholes wang=good if he's healthy, not as brittle as burnett sabathia=fat but good |
