Well the last time started one of these it lasted all of one game - I'm SURE the Sox can do me proud and give me a few more games this time!

One word - WIN

No one better dare pull any April Fool's crap in this game thread. Some things are sacred.


WIN!!!

[graffam198]

This is going to be my first baseball game with my pops, so we are both very excited for a win. This is probably my favorite part about the Japan trip, makes them come out here on the west coast for the A's home opener.

[Cyberlibrarian]

Me and my XM MyFi are ready to go!

[LargeFather44]

The circus that has been the past month is over. Its time to get down to business and get off to a hot start this April.

Dice, give us 7 shutout innings tonight against this AAA team, attack attack attack hitters all night long.

Varitek please get your head out of your ass and just swing that bat like you mean it and prove to people that you haven't fallen off the tracks completely.

JD get well soon, you can be an All Star for this team.

And to the rest of the lineup, get guys on base and keep the train moving around and around untill Oakland cries uncle, lets knock this team around a bit tonight. Set the tone for the season and get us back home in good shape, you've got a huge party waiting for you.

just win.

Here's to Sidd throwing out the first pitch.

Win!

[Doooweeeey!]

The road gets tougher from here. Let's not waste the opportunity to start a long winning streak. Win.

[neil]

Time for all the players to put that Japan trip nonsense behind them and come out playing like the WS champs they are. I expect a much better performance from the bats going forward.

WIN

[TheAnswerIs42]

The A's are a bad team. So beat them soundly.

[hittery]

After a long WINter of discontent, real, honest, in-the-USA baseball is finally here. Spring is here. The seedlings are groWINg. It's time for me to stack up on some WINe, learn how to operate the reWINd function on my dvr, and prepare my poor family for another season of willful ignorance an obnoxious obsessive behavior. Fire up the NESN, kids, and play ball!

[EP Sox Fan]

Looking forward to a new season of sand covered game threads.

WIN.

That is all.

[Nixon's Hat Stain]

Here's to another season of Sox ball, another season of ups and downs, another season of breaking every little thing down, and another season of beating down the Yankees and A-Fraud.

WIN!

[newhampshaman]

Dear Dice-K,

Please try not to suck this year. Monsters do not nibble. Monsters take huge goddamn chunks out of people. Monsters eviscerate, they flay, they decapitate, they annihilate. In short, they are not afraid to throw their change up. They waft it right down the fucking pike and laugh sadistically as the batter flails aimlessly. Practice your maniacal cackling.

You are not gifted with the the cutter of the wombat. You are gifted with more than one pitch. Use them. If you walk less than 60 batters this season, then I promise to stop making fun of Anime.

Godspeed.

Looks like I picked the wrong season to stop sniffing glue.

Shot in the dark: are you from Blue Hill, Maine?

[Luis Rivera's Cleats]

Win...for Pedro's Hammy.

[neil]

Eck's mullet looks amazing tonight.

[Rudi Fingers]

Eck's mullet looks amazing tonight.

Win. Too many excuses for losing are available if we don't, and it won't be good for the team to use them.

[Rule5deadwood]

Shot in the dark: are you from Blue Hill, Maine?

No, but there is 40 miles of crappy road between me and the thundering herd.

[Rangerrob]

Win...because it already seems like forever has passed since your last one.

PS: can't stop laughing about the Gagne blown save yesterday.

[neil]

PS: can't stop laughing about the Gagne blown save yesterday.

Yeah that was hilarious. He doesn't like being the setup man for the 10th?

[Rule5deadwood]

...can't stop laughing about the Gagne blown save yesterday.

We wants to come back, precious, we wants to be a Red Sox again.

[mike94850]

15 minutes to the real start of the season.

WIN!

Last time I posted a Japanese metal video in a game thread, Daisuke won.

So I'm trying it again.

[Luis Rivera's Cleats]

quick 1 out, Ellsbury grounds out to first base

[Kitchkinet]

727-1 in HD on DirecTV (use the dash button below 7), 727 in SD.

Ellsbury loses the foot race with Blanton.

[Captaincoop]

I've now watched that 4 times and am convinced Ellsbury beat it.

[Cyclone603]

anyone else getting the spanish guy????

[P'tucket, rhymes with...]

Ahhh...the return to gamethreading. Like that sweet, warm rush you get when the heroin hits the brain, but with more nausea.

THROW STRIKES.

WIN.

[newhampshaman]

Finally....baseball. Now I can drink beer.

[Kitchkinet]

Got it briefly. Just a brief NESN glitch.

[Luis Rivera's Cleats]

They are showing a lot of Asian people eating hot dogs.

[Captaincoop]

You poor bastards, watching on NESN. You don't get to hear the amazing insights of Ray Fosse.

[hittery]

I thought it sounded like a Japanese guy translating Remy. It's gone now.

[njingles3]

I despise Blanton and his mediocre stuff.
