First Day of ST

Well, baseball is back! Yesterday was a split squad game at the Fort, game 1 Josh Beckett pitched at home against Boston College. Successful 7-1 win, with Beckett going a scoreless 2 innings, Buchholz going a scoreless 1 inning, and Tazawa making a nice debut. Kudos to SS Navarro for the HR. At the other side of town, Tim Wakefield took on the Minnesota Twins for the first game of the Mayor's Cup in Fort Myers. Wakefield had a bit of a shaky start, though not bad overall. Bard was relatively decent in his first attempt at catching the knuckleball. The MVP had some nice hits, and Jed-I had a RBI Triple. Though MIN eventually got the better of Boston and Billy Traber, Ramon Ramirez looked lights out in his first start with the club and Justin Masterson proved once again effective out of the bullpen. Other news....Manny Ramirez may sign today *gasp* with the Dodgers. Theo is still hopefully pursuing the catcher of the future from Texas...we'll see. Monster Tickets went on sale last Saturday and I bought some GM SRO Tickets for a TB Rays Game when I finally got through on the phone. RF Roof Lottery ends this weekend, so enter to try and get some nice tables on the Bud Roof Deck this season. 38 Days until Home Opener!!!!!
