Points of Interest
I’m gonna ramble on a bit, sabermetrically and not.
1. The recap of this morning/tomorrow night/whatever-these-time-zones-are-screwing-me-up’s game on the Sox site says:
While New Englanders back home were either still sleeping or just arising for Easter Sunday*, the Sox were engaging in their final tune-up for Tuesday’s Opening Day against the Oakland Athletics, which will be played [...]

I Feel Behind on Events
13 hours behind, specifically.
Where I am, it’s 5:42 PM on Friday. Where the Red Sox are, it’s 6:42 AM on Saturday.
I’m jealous.
Because there’s nothing but hockey hockey hockey on NESN and college basketball college basketball college basketball anywhere else, I’m watching ESPN2, which is showing a spring training game of Cubs vs Rockies. Colorado’s leading, [...]

In-Game Thoughts: Sox/Yankees

2. There [...]

Blogwarming
Instead of making my first post on our brand new blog angry and controversial and Iwamura-nuts-knocking (that didn’t sound as wrong in my head), I’ve decided to go with a more positive topic. Because we all know I love my Shelley and can’t talk about him objectively. (I saw his second and third homers in [...]

Mmhmm.
Now tell me this isn’t malicious intent.
For the sake of Misaki Iwamura, let’s all be glad that foot landed a bit to the side.
(According to the Rays’ site, though, the couple is already expecting a baby. I guess they planned ahead.)
(Also,
… The family dog is a toy poodle named “Nuts” …
