It hasn't been a good Opening Night so far for the Red Sox.
Josh Beckett has struggled, giving up five runs in 4.2 innings of work. The Red Sox offense hasn't helped out much, either. Adrian Beltre is responsible with a sac fly to center field. The Sox still have just one hit with play going into the bottom of the fifth.
Scott Schoeneweis struck out Curtis Granderson to finish the top of the fifth.

Scott Schoenwies
lead commander of “the dirty’s”
The Red Sox offense isn't an issue,- until its an issue.
no USG pointed out he sucked for years
and he was right, he’s the guy in the know around here, thats why I keep him around.
and vote for him in the top prosect campaigns
The Red Sox offense isn't an issue,- until its an issue.
Never said
that he was great, only looking at the past season or so.
Yeah his stats aren’t great, but I can’t discount what happened in his personal life the past year or so.
Atchison
What is Atchison’s deal. I am looking at his career stats. He played in 2004 2005 and 2007, Where was he the rest of the time.
Pacol is dead right
Which is why I thought the Schoenwuss comment was seriously out of line and classless
some of us don't know about off the field issues
"You know," Girardi said, shrugging his shoulders, "it didn't work."
( Joe Girardi on pitching to Manny Ramirez with first base open)
This frames the Beckett situation perfectly
He’s looking for Ace money, but the only Ace pitching tonight is on the other club. When you’re paying someone $18m a year, they don’t take massive dumps against your main rival like Beckett has shown he always does.

how about papi shuts up all season and either hits or retires.
The Red Sox offense isn't an issue,- until its an issue.
It was an excellent pitch to hit
he just missed it.
Fault the swing – but the judgement was good.
As for Schoenweiss...
I don’t remember the full details, but here we go:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Schoeneweis#Personal_life
He's gone through some seriously tragic times.
But that doesn’t change the fact that he’s been a mediocre pitcher at best throughout his career.
USG
Oh I agree
But hence why he’s on clean-up. But the dumping on him is a bit much. I’m giving him a pass for a bit, IMHO.
Yeah, and who's to say he wasn't performing before
because he was not … ‘serious’ enough about his craft? He seems to have some heavy reasons to be focused now. Hopefully he’ll respond.

dunno about drug busts, but there have been some fights so far this year
On our first 3 hour early dismissal a bunch of girls got into a fight in the media center and we lost our half day break privilege. Another time there was a bit of a scuffle after school and the police came. In middle school, I once saw some uniformed guys putting the contents of a locker into a trash bag, but I’m not sure what was going on.

Leadoff walk is exactly what we DON'T need.
Give up a run here and you deflate the entire damn team.

Well, here goes the lead.
Thanks, Ramirez. What happened to you? Did Ryan Howard really ruin you that badly?

Inauspicious start for RamRam
And now Oki has to work around 2nd and 3rd no outs.

too bad popping into a triple play with runners on 2nd and 3rd only happens to my team
...and if I do it again, it's a 10 day suspension.
Chowdah Chatter - an outlet for my random thoughts and such.
I sorta mentioned it in an earlier thread
What happened was that I was on deck with no outs with runners on third and second (maybe first). I remember thinking that we couldn’t possibly hit into a triple play. I was wrong. It didn’t help that we were forced to play another school’s varsity team who didn’t want to play us. Next practice, our coach gave us a long talk about getting back to the base when the ball is caught.
...and if I do it again, it's a 10 day suspension.

I liked how he used the same damn form letter approach of “Nerd in basement with naked lightbulb”, and “don’t watch the games”.
