My doctors say I'm in GREAT SHAPE.

It's amazing Freeman didn't kill us tonight. Not sure he even got on base, and he had that error that scored our first run.

Nice job by Papelbon to buckle down, if that pitch on MAT was a strike I don't know where that first pitch to Markakis missed.

We get a lefty tomorrow, hopefully the runs pour in and we don't have to worry about a save situation.

For those curious, tomorrow is Adam Conley vs. Tanner Roark and Saturday is Tom Koehler vs. Joe Ross.

Who is Adam Conley and Tom Koehler?

Guess it's time for Baseball Ref...

Great to win the first two games.

Lets win the next!!!

He will still get booed tomorrow if he comes in. I don't believe in booing players but the dude deserves it.

Everyone should have gotten it out of their system last year. To carry this into a new season is just idiotic.

Booing is how people will get it out of their systems. Most folks haven't seen him play since last season. I st expect him to get booed all season (unless/until he acts like a fool yet again) but it's human nature to want to express your displeasure and it's silly to expect otherwise.

Wow look at all those on the 7th of April including the 2012 Power Kids. Ooh and the Inaugural 2005 EX-Expos. I like that most are within the first 5 to 10 matches.

Bryce owns Kohler I think he has 5 career HRs off him which when you have 98 for your career is a big % off 1 pitcher.
