quade36 Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 Not to complain, but does anyone else think its weird that the Sox have to open in KC, then go to NY and sit through yet another home opener there, then finally open at home against KC who they already played the week before? This doesn't seem right that they have to be put through the opening day excitement 3 times. At least have their's first, not last. What do you guys think?

That is why it happens every year. They want to push off of the home opener as long as possible to try to get better odds for good weather in Chicago.

CSF Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 I know this is going to sound completely retarded, but I'd like to see the Sox open the year on the West Coast. Every year it's either in the Midwest, Texas, or Toronto. If we're gonna get our brains beat in by the Oaklands, Seattles, & Anaheims, let's get 'em out of the way early.

Gene Honda Civic Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 The last time we started with a tough stetch like this, was inthe 2000 season, we opened with 10 games on the road, travelled all over the US, and had to play 7 games vs. the AL West, who we were terrible against.... The sox lost the first two games that year, The first game losing to Ismeal Valdes ,...... They ended up winning 6 of the next 8 and returned home with loads of confidence that they road throughout the entire season... I say Bring it on, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if the Sox lose on Opening Day, the season is OVER, remember??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that they play the same teams roughly the same amount of times each season and that they need to play their ass off regadless of where they are playing or who.
