Daniel Bard was not sharp & gave up 4 runs in the bottom of the 8th after a big HR by David Ortiz tied the game in the top of the 8th. Sox lose 9-5.
You can be assured that Daniel Bard will be much better in the future. For that matter so will Carl Crawford & Jon Lester. You have to cut Lester some slack since Napoli golfed a good breaking ball into the seats for a 3-run homer. Lester surrendered 3 HR's in all.
I like Lackey & Buchholz in the final 2 games of the opening series. 2 out of 3 in Texas would be a good start.
It always hard to be less than your best on Opening Day, but it happens. Opening Day is over now.
