I just moved to Seattle and want to know if the games come on at the
same time as they are scheduled at redsox.com or do they come on
earlier since we're on the west coast? Does the spitfire grill show
every red sox game or only ones on certain days?

That's probably the set-up at both. I was able to add NESN to my satellite package at home for just an extra $5 a month. But, they blacked out all of the actual games so you'd buy the MLB package for $180. Watched the pregames and postgames for a couple of months and then dropped it.

Spitfire has the MLB package which will show the game, but not necessarily the NESN broadcast (although I�d be willing to bet the Boston broadcast will be featured). I thought that was the deal at Jillians as well, but I might be mistaken.

I�m not 100% sure I�ll be able to make it to Spitfire tomorrow, but if I can swing it I�ll join you all. There won�t be any back room parties until the end of the season (although we might have some coming up depending on how the Celtics do). So keep an eye out for Sox fans in the front area.

“For Clay Buchholz, the trial begins now. He either lives up to his potential or he does not, and it is difficult to envision a scenario in which he ends up on middle ground. Not when the alternative might have been Johan Santana.”

Boston Red Sox at Los Angeles Dodgers

Friday, March 29^th, 10:40 PM (ET)

Come share the week-end ‘spring training’ series in chat with us. The 2^nd game is a sell out at the

Los Angeles Coliseum (115,000).

www.NewEnglandSportsCountry.com – ‘Red Soxx Country’

“The Dodgers will begin the season with one of the deepest rotations in the league, one that was largely set going to spring training. The battle to join Brad Penny, Derek Lowe, Chad Billingsley and Japanese import Hiroki Kuroda in the fifth spot became Esteban Loaiza's to lose when it was made clear that Jason Schmidt wouldn't be ready for the start of the regular season, and Loaiza has done nothing this spring to lose it.”

“Lester couldn't get the job done in his first start of 2008, as he gave up four runs over four innings in the loss,

but the early stumble hasn't tarnished Boston's outlook for the tall lefty this season.

"Lester looks strong to me ... he just looks like a big, strong man right now, and that's changed," Sox catcher Jason Varitek said. "I wouldn't say we're looking for great things, but we're looking for him to grow into who he is and that's all. I don't think we should put expectations on him, but just let him be who he is and he'll be OK."

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/teamReport?categoryId=71588&type=InsideSlant

“RHP David Aardsma was impressive in Wednesday's loss to Oakland and may have sewn up a spot on Boston's 25-man roster with his 1 2/3-inning, three-strikeout performance. Aardsma profiles as a hard-throwing reliever capable of getting his heater up into the 94-96 mph range, and the Sox could use another live arm available for duty in the 'pen.”

“OF Coco Crisp made the start in center field Wednesday against hard-throwing Oakland RHP Rich Harden, but Red Sox manager Terry Francona wouldn't commit to a particular pattern of playing time for Crisp going forward. The San Diego Padres continue to be mentioned as a possible landing spot for the displaced outfielder when/if he is dealt, but it appears the speedy Crisp will start the season on Boston's 25-man roster.”

QUOTE TO NOTE: "For other people, it's a great year. That's in the past. Talk to me (about) right now. If we want to repeat we're going to go and do it. Everything is possible in life. I'm ready to go. I don't know about other people. I'm ready to go." -- Manny Ramirez talking about last season, arguably his worst offensively in the major leagues.

http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/teamReport?categoryId=71588&type=NotesAndQuotes

Road Trip from Hell

“Imagine for a minute that you are sunning yourself in Florida, limbering up to go back to work. You are placed on a flight to Japan, stay there for a few days and go to work, then fly to Los Angeles where you suddenly have no need to work again. You then fly to Oakland where work rears its ugly head, then hop on a plane to Toronto for a few days, then to Boston, where Miguel Cabrera is waiting… all in the span of 19 days.

That’s one ugly road trip.”

Know Thyself 2008: Boston Red Sox

(Scroll Down)

By Evan Brunell | March 24th, 2008

“You guessed it — we’re picking the Red Sox to repeat as American League East Division Champions. Coming off a World Series,

the Red Sox will look to repeat and make it three titles in five years (shades of the Patriots). The Red Sox have a strong team which

will rely on its youngsters improving upon seasons of the past. It should be an intriguing storyline to watch.”

Hello Everyone. The Red Sox are 1-1 to start the 2008 season for which there are many reasons to be optimistic.

It is tough to think that the Red Sox will just allow the players who don’t make the team to just be waived. Aardsma and Lopez are out of waivers. Don’t know if Corey has a minor league contract to protect him or if he has an opt out. With the promising performance of Moss, it seems as if

a trade is becoming highly likely upon the return of the Red Sox to the USA.

Brandon Moss has been sent back to AAA and shall report upon return from Japan.

OK, it is getting close to time to start up the Adopt-A-Player fun for 2008. The following explains the process. Once April 1^st comes and the minor league rosters are set, the process can begin.

The process helps us become more familiar with the Red Sox minor league system and how well players are progressing.

Join in, have fun !!!

The Wisdom of Crowds: 2008 Red Sox Predictions

“The wisdom of crowds isn’t about consensus. It really emerges from disagreement and even conflict.

It’s what you might call the average opinion of the group, but it’s not an opinion that every one in the group can agree on.

So that means you can’t find collective wisdom via compromise.” - James Surowiecki

FYI – Spitfire does have the NBA package on their TV system. Just ask a bartender to put the game on. I’ve gone down there a couple of times to watch games.

Since these upcoming regular season games are only important for keeping the top seed, I’m thinking we’ll have a gathering for one or two games in the first round of the playoffs – particularly for weekend games. If the Celts make it to the Championship, we’ll likely be there in force for each game.

On Monday evening, at 8 p.m. (ET), March 17^th, 2008. Jeremy Branham will be in Red Soxx Country Chat Room. Branham is a Houston Texas area broadcaster who also calls the play by play for the University of Houston Cougar Baseball team.

Topics of Discussion/chat will be the National League – what should (if anything) be done to address the perceived lagging play of the National League? Should the NL add the DH? Should the AL drop it? The difference in the style of play between the AL and the NL? Roger Clemens and steroids? Who are the top NCAA players to be taken high in the upcoming 2008 draft.

Have questions you would like asked? Send them to: NewEnglandSportsCountry@...

Format will be the same as previous chats. You can review them in the forum.

Red Sox release catcher Mirabelli

“In a move that general manager Theo Epstein and manager Terry Francona both described as tough, the Red Sox released longtime

backup catcher Doug Mirabelli before Thursday's exhibition game against the Tampa Bay Rays.”

Doug Mirabelli was the primary catcher for Tim Wakefield (right)

since 2002. (Brita Meng Outzen/MLB.com)

Gang!

Thanks so much for your overwhelming response to our annual
Sox/Mariners outings!  Almost all the tickets were reserved within the
first two weeks since my first announcement.

I do want to let you know that I have a small number still unreserved
at this point (about 8 for the May game and 12 for the July game).  If
any of you (or you know someone who) want additional tickets or held
off from ordering earlier, please don't hesitate to make a
reservation.  I can also put names on a waiting list as it may happen
that some tickets will be relinquished.

Please contact me off the list at cporter@... if you'd like to
make an order.  I am still expecting to receive the tickets sometime
in April.  I will send them out shortly after receiving them.

Go Sox!
Chris

By now most of you know that we lost Asante Samuel to the Eagles.  Not
a big surprise to me frankly.  He was a great player for The Pats for
a few years, but now he's into making the big bucks that was sure to
be offered to him by another team.  Can't say I blame him.

But losing Randall Gay sort of surprised me (to The Saints).
Stallworth is also gone (to The Browns).  Other than the Tedy Bruschi
and Kelly Washington signings, things have been eerily quiet in the
Patriots world.  Hopefully we'll get some good news soon.

The first NESN TV broadcast of the World Champion Boston Red Sox

Friday, February 28, 2008 at 7 p.m. (ET)

Boston Red Sox versus Minnesota Twins

Come join us in chat to root on the Red Sox and get a look at some of the younger players as they strive to make the

25 man roster or impress the Red Sox. For those who do not have NESN, there is a possibility that you may still be able to

see the Red Sox if you come to chat with us. Let’s celebrate the first MLB Spring training game together.

Amanda Aardsma and David Aardsma.

Aardsmas are stars on rise

FORT MYERS - Up-and-coming major league pitchers and up-and-coming actresses do not usually have fan clubs.

Thankfully, the multitalented brother-and-sister act of David and Amanda Aardsma have each other.

Mirror, mirror - Varitek finds one look for two-sided swing

In a pickle: Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek tags out minor leaguer William Middlebrooks during a base running drill.

For much of last season, the left-handed hitting Varitek and the right-handed hitting Varitek were separate entities.

It wasn’t out of the ordinary, but simply the all-too-typical world of a switch hitter.

Nine Up, Nine Down: Spring Training Notes

By Evan Brunell | February 28th, 2008

Hideki Okajima added the doki-doki to his arsenal, now Dice-K is adding the two-seamer. Why? Yeah, yeah:

“His fastball was probably the best, but all of his stuff was great,” Kottaras said. “He had command of everything. Everything was on.”

But this is spring training. It’s not even March yet. Instead of developing a new pitch, why not develop being able to maintain control over a full game and season.

http://mvn.com/mlb-redsox/

Mo Vaughn leads ‘08 Sox HOF class, best 1B ever?

As Mike Petraglia from MLB.com put it: “Before there was Big Papi, there was Big Mo.”

Mo Vaughn joined the Boston Red Sox elite on Monday when he was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame,

along with seven others including leftfielder Mike “The Gator” Greenwell and Bill “Spaceman” Lee.

http://mvn.com/mlb-redsox/

Red Sox finally seem comfortable in their own skin

“It was difficult to tell by employing that time-honored scientific formula of walking around and talking to people at the minor league complex (where the team works out until spring training games begin) whether the Boston Red Sox had swept the Colorado Rockies in October to win their second World Series in four years or won 85 games, just a shade above the Toronto Blue Jays.”

Minnesota Twins at Boston Red Sox

Fort Myers, Florida

March 2, 2008, 1 p.m. (ET)

Come join us in chat and watch the Veterans and Minor League players get ready for the 2008 season.

Getting a grip on Dice-K's change

“Last year the Japanese import shied away from his devastating change up for long stretches of the season,

and -- at the time -- Sox players and coaches attributed it to Matsuzaka losing his feel for the pitch.”

Lowrie could be next young star for Red Sox

“Red Sox shortstop Jed Lowrie smiles as he steps out of the batting cage and onto the field at the team’s spring training facility

in Fort Myers, Fla., on Tuesday. Lowrie, who played on a high school All-Star team with Dustin Pedroia and Jacoby Ellsbury,

is considered one of Boston’s top prospects.”

Francona already is excited — about Lowrie.

"Any time you move young kids up the ladder and they start playing better, that's exciting," the manager said.

"He's certainly a young player that is really well thought of. He's an interesting young man, switch hitter,

can play all over the infield, is improving his plate discipline."

http://www.seacoastonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080302/SPORTS/803020369

Bosox stand pat, but get better

"We have the same team in name, but you look and we're going to get bigger production from (Jacoby) Ellsbury,

(Clay) Buchholz, (Jon) Lester," Francona said. "The guys that came up near the end of the year,

they have a chance to shoulder a little bit of the load for us. They're young guys that understand how to play, so it works pretty well.

But you don't know what's going to happen with injuries and stuff.”

Jim Rome / 2-29-2008

George Steinbrenner might not be talking anymore, but his son Hank is. Hank, or as I prefer to call him, George Jr., isn’t buying the whole ‘Red Sox Nation’ phenomenon. “Red Sox Nation? What a bunch of (expletive) that is. That was a creation of the Red Sox and ESPN, which is filled with Red Sox fans. Go anywhere in America and you won’t see Red Sox hats and jackets, you’ll see Yankees hats and jackets. This is a Yankee country. We’re going to put the Yankees back on top and restore the universe to order.”

Hey, George Jr…I love the swagger. No one likes a ‘smack running’ owner more than yours truly…but let me once again remind you, the entire universe is not centered in New York City. Things that matter really do happen outside ‘the Apple’. As hard as that may be for you to believe…and as far as the nation being an ESPN creation…they must have skipped over that during my company orientation. I didn’t get that memo. The Budweiser hot-seat is an ESPN creation, the Red Sox Nation isn’t.

That was born out of their winning it all twice in the last four years…and I’m here to tell you…’chowd’ fans are everywhere. Go to an Angels game out here, and it’s Fenway West…and you know why, George Jr.? It’s because they’re winning and you’re not. They’re better than you. The ‘chowd nation’ is not a figment of your imagination. How do you like them apples, George Jr….ehhhh.

http://www.jimrome.com/home/articles/article.html

Lucchino strikes back at Hank

"I don't deny there are Yankee fans everywhere. But it's blind of him not to see the phenomenon that is Red Sox Nation,"

Lucchino told the Boston Globe.

http://www.northjersey.com/sports/yankees/16157432.html

Red Sox Survive Lester's Rough Start

Jon Lester wasn't quite as sharp as he was the last time he took the mound.

Lester, the winning pitcher for Boston in the decisive Game 4 of the 2007 World Series,

walked four of the nine batters he faced in his first spring start Saturday against Minnesota.

He gave up five runs, four earned, and got only three outs, but the Red Sox rallied past the Twins 7-6.

Unsealed records show Bonds had additional positive drug test

“Among other information contained in the unsealed 149-page court transcript is evidence

of an additional positive steroids test beyond the previously reported one in November 2000,

sources familiar with the government's evidence told ESPN's T.J. Quinn.”
