Goodbye Florida, Hello Philly
Believe it or not, the Sox play their last game in the Sunshine State on Thursday, and then it's on to the City of Brotherly Love for two warm-ups before the real games start on Monday afternoon in the Lone Star State. (I'll stop now...)
Opening Day starting lineup is looking like 1) Crisp-CF; 2) Loretta-2B; 3) Ortiz-DH; 4) Manny-LF; 5) Varitek-C; 6) Nixon-RF; 7) Lowell-3B; 8) Youkilis-1B; 9) Gonzalez-SS; SP) Schilling. Pretty solid. Biggest concern heading into the season is something thought to be a strength about a month ago: the 'pen, specifically middle to late relief. Lots of guys doing their Blaine Neal imitations.
