That was the fastest offseason I have ever been through as a fan. Good times! Hopefully the Yankees start the season taking 2 of 3 in Boston.
Should be a good series. Tonight and Wednesday are toss ups but I think the Sox have a decent edge on the mound in the second game. I say they split games 1 and 3 and the Sox take game 2.
hahaha WTF is anyone watching the pregame show on ESPN? What the heck happened to Curt Schilling??? He said he has no desire to hit the field, but he looks like he gained 50 pounds and aged by 20 years. wow haha
really hoping that ESPN3 (formally ESPN360) is carrying this game, otherwise i'm SOL and can't watch it EDIT: it's being carried. thank god. I wonder if there's a delay, never used ESPN3(60) before
