Derrick,
I love it! As a life long member of the RSN (born in Boston, raised in Southern ME) and someone who fondly remembers watching Oil Can Boyd pitch this is a great blog! Congrats - and get better soon!
Thanks - Melissa (BU Classmate)
Hey Melissa,
Thanks for the kind words. Glad to hear you like the blog feel free to write in anytime.....
now if we could only get Buchholz to start pitching the way we all know he can!
I did not care for last nights line up. I'm not going going to claim that I know more about baseball the Tito, but I don't see what Drew in the lead off spot gets you.
Dusty batting lead off is a no brainer right now, same same with youk in the 2 hole. You're hottest hitters need to see the most pitchers and AB's. Ortiz 3, lowell 4, Bay 5, Drew 6.
I agree...but guess what, JD is in the leadoff spot again tonight.
