Red Sox time is here!


Everyone has reported to Spring training and the first pre-season game is Wednesday at 7:05. I am very excited, but I will have to skip this game because our boys basketball team has its playoff game at the same time and they are more important to me than the Redsox.

I agree Mrs. Taylor. Watching our Lancers is more of a 'once-in-a-lifetime' experience, so the game is where I will be!

I've never been much of a baseball fan, but I am excited about the start of the season. I don't really watch the game, but I like hearing everyone talk about the score and the players the next day. I definately agree with Alyssa about being excited about the warmer weather that's hopefully coming soon!

Next time bring a pocket radio, and you can listen to the Sox game, while watching the Lancers game.

I'm excited for the start of baseball season too. I like to watch the games, especially at Fenway. I love getting fried dough and cotton candy!

Since I am being graded in math for this response, I suppose I should include a little bit of numbers. In baseball there are 9 innings, unless it goes into overtime. 3 strikes will get you out. 3 outs will end your team's batting for the inning. 4 balls will make you walk. There is a right angle, or 90 degrees, between every base. Generally, the home run wall is 312 feet to the green monster.

I love to watch baseball. Its the next best thing to actually playing, (well technically I play softball but it doesn't really matter). And as fun as the actual game atmosphere is... I'd rather watch a game on t.v so I can get all the stats, and replays, and a better view. I'm really excited for this season.

I'm really pumped for the baseball season this year! I think the Sox should have a good chance of going deep into the post-season with some of the new additions to the pitching staff we made during the offseason. I'm also looking forward to catching a couple of Lancer baseball games!

By the way, Mrs. Taylor, I'm surprised you haven't posted a blog about how the Patriots traded Matt Cassel and Mike Vrabel for a second round draft pick!
What are you thougts on that?

Chad, I am a little upset about the Patriots trades so I have to calm down before I write about them. I can't believe we got nothing in those trades? I wouldn't be surprised if we lose more players to KC or maybe Denver.

I agree the game was much more important, but I am still pretty sad we lost.

Yeah...it kind of stinks that we lost the basketball game. At least we have baseball season to look forward to! I love the warmer weather and longer days. Speaking of which, this Sunday is Daylight Savings time. Oh yeah, and I can't believe that the Pats traded Vrabel and Cassel as Chad pointed out,especially Vrabel. He's like a legend with the Pats. Cassel...meh.

I agree, Mrs. Taylor. I kept watching ESPN to wait for updates from the trade...
It got doesn't seem to make sense.

I can't believe the lancers lost! I was so upset being there and seeing the deficit they were down by after the first half.But on the other hand,I am so pumped for the start of the red sox season! It should be very interesting because the red sox have made many changes in their lineup/etc.

Yeah the Pats trade with Vrabel and Cassel is bizarre. One of those guys alone is worth a draft pick, never mind both of them! Vrabel was probably my favorite player on the Pats too, so it was tough when I heard he got traded.

this year for xmas my mom and i each finally got our own jerseys and guess who they were?
yup- cassel and vrabel

I agree that we got jipped in the trade with Kansas City. Both Cassel and Vrabel are great players and I think we deserve more than just a second round draft pick for the two them. Who knows maybe a younger player will be a good thing for the veteran team?

I agree Eric Varbel was a malking legend for the Pats but you do have to remember he was getting old. Trading Cassel, on the other hand, was risky because you don't know if Brady will be as good as he was but, let's hope so. Also, it is too bad Giselle finally got married. It really hurts my future plans. Just kidding, but she better not hurt Brady's performance this year.

I was also at the game. I think it was well worth going to despite the outcome. The amount of people as well as the morale of the fans was very impressive

Yeah I agree with you Aaron. Vrabel was a legend! Now I can't wear my Vrabel jersey without feeling some pain. Keeping Cassel would have been difficult with the salary cap in place. I think it was a good decision though since dropping Cassel opens up space and a lot of money for other prospects. Just the other day we picked up Shaun Springs who should help out our secondary a lot.

Yeah they definitely should have waited to trade Cassel after they were sure Brady would be ok.

Its definitely looking like the Red Sox are going to be having a cold start to their season this year as long as the weather stays the way its been. This has got to be one of the coldest starts to the baseball season I've ever seen.

I don't really watch baseball, but my dad'll get me to watch a few games. He's a huge fan of baseball and the Red Sox, as well as the rest of his family! Everyone like gathers at my house to watch the games, which is kind of strange if you don't know they're coming over and you walk downstairs to a bunch of people yelling at the television...

Sam a cold start means a solid finish. Red Sox yankees in october. It going to happen and I wouldn't have it any other way.

One School One Book

I have been reading the book "The Day the World Came to Town" and something is on my mind that I have to share with everyone. Can you believe how incredibly generous and trusting the people in Gander are? I would like to think that I would be the same, but I am not sure. I know that I would definately bring supplies to where ever the people were being placed, but I am not sure that I would open my house up to strangers. I couldn't get over how people were invited into the homes to take showers and the home owners would leave the house and tell them to make themselves at home. I would like to think that I could be that way, but I am not sure I would. What about you? Could you be that trusting of stangers?

What are you reading?

Have you read any good books lately? I am trying to find a great book for the incoming freshmen to read over the summer. The current freshmen class read "The Number Devil", but they didn't like that choice so I am trying to find something more enjoyable for the students. Right now I am reading "October Sky" by Homer Hickham. I am only 60 pages into the book, but I am enjoying the little that I have read. I would like to hear about any books that you have read and would recommend.
