it's supposed to be 34 degrees in cleveland for the Sox this afternoon, meanwhile Tampa and toronto, 2 dome teams play each other for their opening day. who figures out a schedule with teams starting in Cleveland first and 2 dome teams playing each other?? i know they have a difficult time developing a schedule, But really, there are enough warm weather and dome stadiums that most of the issues could be worked out at least for the first week | |

| That's what I was thinking this morning. This should have been scheduled in Houston. Home games this early should be in the south or in dome stadiums. That's just my opinion. | |

| the mighty may fall this season if you listen to every MLB insider (those guys really piss me off). Not a great start, but I hope for warmer weather and warmer bats soon. (30 degree weather opening in Pittsburgh)

| well it appears Bucholz is hurt....or I hope they will say he is after that stinker. I really can't stand watching him pitch anymore, no matter how many times they tell him to speed it up on the mound, as soon as a runner gets on base he starts with the slowwwwww deliberate pitching that gets him in trouble.

I agree, it seems a lifetime ago that he threw a no-hitter seems a lifetime ago that he was an effective pitcher for any more than a couple games a year. When he pitches a little faster he can be great but they have been unable to stop him from slowing down when pitching out of the stretch, or from throwing to first 34 times an inning when there is a man on base. It absolutely drives me crazy. just throw the fuckin ball to the catcher instead of the 1st baseman ferchristsake then they interview him last night he says oh i felt pretty good, the delay in the start screwed me up a little but I felt good. I have never ever heard him say, i have to be better, I need to a do a better job. Nothing even remotely taking any responsibility for poor performance | |

| other than yesterday, the sox proved they can hit. The pitching , again other than opening day and yesterday needs to be ALOT better than that though. Porcello managed to right the ship after giving up absolute meatballs to Joey bats, twice. and kelley was as bad or worse than bucholz in his debut this season. i really hope they have a better result the second time around. | |

it would be better if they waited until at least the middle of april for northern games, foergawd sakes they were clearing snow off of fields to play this weekend, and I for one wouldn't go to a game even a home opener if it was gonna be 32 degrees , I'll watch it at home. | |

| I don't sit in bad weather either. Not even a rain delay.
I don't think it's possible to wait that long though - it can stay cold up here until May. And rain can pretty much happen anytime.
We played in 40 degree temps all weekend. We had a snow storm on Saturday - a real honest snow storm. Luckily it didn't lay much by my way. Further East still has some ground cover. | |

| the sox needed atlanta this week, but the pitching is looking at least a littel more reliable
Wright has been great, Porcello seems to have figured some things out, and price will be fine. The question of course is bucholz
the owens/kelley/ rodriguez thing will work itself out as I know it'll be a week or more before e-rod gets back, kelley who knows and owens ,if he can stop walking so many people could be good
but having 3 semi reliable starters is huge, the 4-5 slot is a matter of hopefully you get innings and they keep you in the game
offense has been even better than i expected and should be able to score enough runs to keep us in most games.
Overall coming to the end of the first month to be.5 games out of 1st I'm pleased. | |

I'm hoping e-rod comes back and can be effective, if they can do that and then ...smith?? i think his name is added to the bullpen and they should be Ok for a bit. when kelley gets back and e-rod is doing well, then who sits?/ i know pitching has a way of working itself out, and I suspect by then Bucholz will have a hangnail or some shit making him sit but if everyone is healthy, and e-rod and the others are pitching well, what do you do with kelley?? | |

| A month in and not only are we NOT in last place, we are only 2.5 out of first, swept the last 2 series (Washington and Cleveland) and have a better record than the entire NL West.
Our pitching is turning out to be one of the better staffs in baseball; that includes the bullpen who had a very rough start.
We finished April with the 5th best record. We are 15-10 right now. | |
