no chance...the sox have strict rules about how to retire numbers...you have to be elected to the mlb hof and have played for the sox for 10 years....it's a sore subject for many boston fans because they feel that dwight evans' #24 should be up there but because he's not in the hall of fame he can't have his number retired

Pesky's is reitred so there is hope for Dewy.

Pesky's is reitred so there is hope for Dewy.

yeah....i didn;t think about him because they just did that... but that was because of his service to the team over the last 60 years or whatever



and he may have had a shot for the hof if he didn't miss 3 full season in his prime to ww2

Opening day has been PPD.


But CC got rocked

[#1snake_fan]

the Rays and Red Sox rained out - Crappy

the Yankees spending $423,500,000 in the Off Season and watching blow up in their Faces - Priceless

[#1snake_fan]

south not only did C.C. get rocked he got ***** slapped if he can't pitch to Baltimore How is he Going to Pitch against the SOX ?

Oh Yeah i forgot that he's tryed and he Can't he's like 1- 10 against Boston in his Career

and how about Marky Mark going 0-4 with runners in Scoring Possition that made my day the Yankees are already in Last Place

after today this is what the AL EAST is Doing to NEW YORK

Boston


Tampa Bay


Toronto


Baltimore


and this is George's Reaction after Today


C.C. proved today that his FAT ass is nothing more then an Over Rated no talent Joke not to mention OVERWEIGHTED

[kmcgough25]

[Apoc13]

1-0


beckett looked great except for one rocky inning

oki and masterson, not so great but they survived

tek with a homerun....he's needs a quick start

pap locks down the 9th

very nice opening day

it's a 162 game season...and the yanks almost always start slow....and they almost always make a race of it late....i never count them out

[#1snake_fan]

who said that i was counting them out ?

I think it's funny that they spent $ 500,000,000 Dollars and they can't beat Baltimore

and thanks for telling me it was 162 games season i thought they played 16 games

I am so happy that Peds and Tek both hit homers today. Let's go for 2-0 Tomorrow as Mr Consistancy takes on Scott Kazmier.

and thanks for telling me it was 162 games season i thought they played 16 games

just a guess but i think they're gonna beat baltimore before the season is out

[kmcgough25]

The Sox were something like 0-7 last year vs. the Rays in games decided by 2 runs or less.

Very nice way to start the season. BTW, the homer announcers for the Rays were complaining that they didn't get to start the season at home after making it to the Series.

How long has it been for Boston, 5 years or something?

[Southstander]

When we WON the World Series in 07 we started the season in JAPAN, so those idoits can stop complaining.
