Regardless of the status of Bailey, Beckett & Crawford, the Sox play their final pre-season tune-up game in DC today against the Nationals. Then it's off to Detroit to start the season on Thursday.
If there are any old guys out there who remember pitching on opening day for your Little League, school or summer teams, you know that there is a different buzz around the park on that day. Managers, coaches & fans can feel it too.
There's just something special about being the starting pitcher on opening day. Jon Lester gets his 2nd try at a win on opening day. It should be a great day & a great season. Being picked to finish 3rd this year is just fine with me after last year's prediction of 100 wins.
