Didn't Alexi start slow last year in the cold weather?
That said,
BAD NEWS
-It's baaaaaack... station-to-station baseball that lives or dies with the middle or the order
-Dwayne Wise probably wouldn't be getting booed TWO GAMES IN if it wasn't all strikeouts almost, and he could bunt better than a little-leaguer
-Does anybody at this point on this team have anything resembling speed? The only person I saw trying to steal last night got gunned down.
GOOD NEWS (Maybe)
-So far, so good with the pitching. If Buehrle is all over the place yet only gives up two runs, that's a good sign. Only two runs last night: good sign. Linebrink looked great
-Greinke always gives us fits, so no surprise there
-Losing sucks, but we can still take the series which is all that matters
If the leadoff position turns into an anchor in the first month or two, expect to see JD packing his bags. I can't see Ozzie or KW letting this drag out for long.
The Sox usually lite up Greinke at the Cell. But I think Greinke is gonna have a big year for KC.
