CSF Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Opening Day: Brian Anderson 2nd game: Darrel May 3rd game: Jeremy Affeldt 3 lefties to open the season. Feast or famine. Jeremy Affeldt - Starting Pitcher - Royals Mar. 20 - 7:10 pm et Jeremy Affeldt, officially named the Royals' No. 3 starter before the game, allowed two runs -- one earned -- in 4 2/3 innings against the Mariners. The Royals received a scare when Affeldt was hit by a liner in the first inning, but he was able to stay in. "It missed my glove and hit me right about the (left) hip," Affeldt said. "I need that fat roll. It got all skin. It didn't get the ribs. It stung for a little bit, but I'm all right." Brian Anderson - Starting Pitcher - Royals Mar. 20 - 7:05 pm et Brian Anderson today was officially named Kansas City's Opening Day starter. Darrell May will start the second game of the season.

witesoxfan Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 3-0 out of the gate baby. We hit lefties well. The Royals will go back to their little cubby hole and cry after the beating we put on their asses. I'll call Thomas's big series. After 3 games, he'll have 2 homers, 6 RBI, and will be 5-for-11.

Hey, I dun post here too much, but I had to nitpick here (hope this doesn't destroy my "street cred" ) I believe that the opening series with the Royals is only a two game series, our third game will be against the Yanks and whoever they start will be a righty for sure. I still hope that we can bust on Sox killer Brian Anderson opening day. What a tone setter that would be! BTW, pray for my Illini tomorrow!

Sweep the Royals, beat the Yanks in game 1. Sounds fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboz56 Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Monday and Wed in KC. Then off to New York for four. we should face Vasquez or Brown; Contrera, Mussina and not sure whom for Sunday. Lieber, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knightni Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Nothing like starting the season off with two "do or die" series'. It will show what the Sox are made of early on. I have a feeling Gammons and Harold Reynolds will eat their words about 3rd and 4th place in the Central when the KC series is over. The Yankees could be a bit more difficult though.

Lieber, maybe? I believe Lieber is out for atleast a little bit, so I think someone like Jorge DePaula or Bret Prinz may be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubsSuck1 Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 ...And after the sox go up 2-0 in a 4 game series vs. the Twins, soxtalk calls for a sweep.... Let's go out and win game one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just confident this time...and kind of goofing around too. Last year....that was dumb. I think we can all collectively blame Jose Paniagua on that one. Maybe BeGood too(since he took Soxtalk off for lent we can talk smack about him, can't we? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
