OT: Twins @ Red Sox, 3.2.08

by Randy Booth on Mar 2, 2008 1:11 PM EST in News

Three games in and we're still facing those dang Twins. Hey, at least we've won the first two, right?

Tim Wakefield takes the mound for the Sox in the finale today. Livan Hernandez gets the nod for the Twins.

Sox lineup:

Crisp, cf
Pedroia, 2b
Ortiz, dh
Ramirez, lf
Lowell, 3b
Drew, rf
Youk, 1b
Lugo, ss
Mirabelli, c

And if anyone is around for this open thread (I know, it's a Sunday), I'd like to hear some suggestions about what to change about open threads once the regular season rolls around. I'm always looking to improve OTM so any suggestions are welcome.

1-1, no outs in the top of the third. Mikey Lowell hit a solo homer in the bottom of the second. Wakefield allowed only one hit in two innings and Buchholz allowed a home run.

Coco just bobbled a sliding catch to give up a double. I think it was charged as an error, but I'm not sure.

Bad inning out of Buchholz. But hey, it's just spring, right?

4-1 Twins with the Sox coming back to the plate.

Buchholz looked like he had some trouble with control, but he wasn't really supported by his defense. Coco and Manny both fumbled some catches. Manny's was pretty routine, but Coco can't exactly be blamed.

Clay's back in for the fourth inning. Still 4-1.

And they're showing Wake's press conference--he says he felt good in today's outing, and wants to give the team 200 innings this year.
