Default fascinating!

our starting pitcher had the worst spring and the worst season last year. makes the most money tho.

now, our #2 pitcher had the second worse spring and 2nd worst year last year. makes the 2nd most money tho.

so we go with political correctness instead of starting our best arms.
i would guess floyd will start the third game?

ventura will not succeed. i can almost guarantee it. too much stupidity right out of the gate.

While we're on this subject, we can go ahead and dump Beckham.
I've had it with his stupidity on the bases

I'm sorry but I'll cut Ventura a little slack. So Danks started the opener and Peavy the second game? Big deal. On paper anyway this team looks like it won't have a winning season. If Ventura goes against the grain, and does or doesn't go by the book let him try to chart his own course. This is not a good team, and it will take several years at least to get the Sox back on the right track. I'm so glad that motor mouthed moron is gone. Enjoy him in South Florida. I see you folks already are.

In just two short games, I'm liking everything I'm seeing from Ventura already

for example, in the opening game, Ventura had Morel batting 2nd, and he looked really overmatched in that game. Ozzie would've kept Morel there for the next 3 weeks, but Ventura Immediately inserted Lillibridge there the next night. I like this.

He has 4 gaping holes in the lineup at the moment. If the pitching comes back down to earth, it could be a long frustrating year.
