Well, I TIVOed the opener, and fast-forwarded through it.   Nice little win out in Texas.

I’m a little more optimistic than before.  Looks like this Crisp kid is going to fill Damon’s shoes just fine.  Papi brought it, which is good. 

And it looks like Schilling is showing no signs of slowing down.  117 pitches, and still pitching 94 mph in the 7th. 

I’m still worried about the deep bullpen though, but that’s Bosox baseball.  I think we’ll have a respectable year.
