Playing the Red Sox is like a cat and mouse game, we being the mouse.  The give us some rope, reel us in, and then biter our heads off.  So let the scrubs play tonight and not ruin anymore of what confidence we did have. 

 

And of course I'm thrilled to see Escobar at 3rd base.

Well the unwritten rule is that you are supposed to trot out at minimum, 3 opening day starters right?

 

So this should put to bed any notion that Arcia will be optioned?

Well Nolasco is going to need to step it up. 

I think Nolasco could pitch perfectly and it still wouldn't matter. I'm just in a bad mood. Which is why I didn't say anything when I posted the lineups. You know the proverb ... if you can't say anything nice ...

Regardin' scrubbiness, isn't that standard operating procedure for spring training road games?

 

Not that this is far away road game, unless traffic is really that bad.

 

What happens if the scrubs win?

 

Anyway, in the immortal words of Fezzig, "i hope we win"

At first I thought you were talking about the Red Sox scrubby appearance -- makes me appreciate theYankees.

Heh, I like Napoli's beard. But I still want to Delilah it before he can cause more damage.

Napoli's beard looks like Tom Berenger's in a particular movie.  Just one of them is/was fake:

How does Napoli play with a fake beard?!?! I'm speechless!

Yeah, Herrmann pounced on it, but it well coulda bounced far enough for Sandoval to make it.

 

He scores anyway, on a ball kicking off the heal of a diving Bernier's glove.

 

Heard the grounder to first and looking Sandoval back, but had left the room, so can't comment.

 

Anyway Boston up, 1-0 after 2 innings (er, and 2 outs. That's how slow i type)

Pretty moon shot they are showing ...

 

Top of the 4th ... Ramirez beats out an infield hit, aided by a bad throw by Sandoval
