Now that the baseball season has officially opened with a split decision in Japan, what now!?! Will my beloved Red Sox regroup and get their internal clock adjusted? Time will tell but the party line is NO EXCUSES.
It was clear to me that spring training was very much in evidence in both games the Sox and A’s played. The pitching was spotty given Dice-K’s slow start and Paps shaky relief in the opening game. It was thrilling to see a rookie, Brandon Moss, with a 9th inning game tying homer. That extra inning victory was a great and exciting way to begin the season.
Kudos to Jacoby for a great catch robbing the hitter of extra bases. Manny is off to a roaring good start and could have a monster year (let’s hope). Rich Hardin and the A’s pen (those ex-Sox) were the story of game two with Jon Lester having an uneven performance. Yes, we have a long, long way to go and I, for one, plan to enjoy the ride. GO SOX!!!
