As a gambler I used to be superstitious, then I realized that being superstitious was unlucky.

Being unfunny is also unlucky.

[BigSlick]

My predictions for today...

Beckett won't be great, but he won't be horrible either. The Sox will extend their MLB best home opener winning streak to 8 with a 6-4 win. A Cody Ross HR will be a huge factor in the game,


fake edit: I just realized that if I'm right I am going to have to start making predictions for every game... that's ok. I'm up to the task.

That's a supstition, and as previously stated I'm not superstitious.

[SoxAroundTheWorld]

Clean slate. New beginning. Fresh look. Live in the present. Blah, blah, blah.

Just win.

I didn't say you were superstitious. I said you were unfunny, asshole. I am allowed to have my own superstitions, aren't I? If not, the terrorists have won.

Fake edit: I'm cranky.

I wish I was throwing out the first pitch today.

Just so I could throw it at Luke Scott's face.

[acr]

I can't wait for these faggots to get booed out fo the building during introductions.

I'd boo everyone except for Pedroia and Jenny Dell if I were there.

I was not contesting the part of your statement that said I was unfunny. I was contesting the part where you said being unfunny was unlucky. You may continue to carry on with whatever superstition you like.

As far as being cranky goes, we're about 3 hours away from a Cody Ross home run that should cheer you up.

Why do Gonzalez, Ortiz and Ellsbury deserve to be booed?

Gonzalez-It's God's will.
Ortiz-They're having him try to steal bases this year.
Ellsbury-Clearly gave no effort last season...or this season so far.

[acr]

God wants us to boo Adrian Gonzalez

I'd cheer Ortiz, I'm being unfair to him

Ellsbury was great last year, but he's still a pussy

[acr]

Well, that was lame, but at least they booed that chicken eating piece of hot garbage.

Bobby V got a pretty bad reaction too. I'd call it 50/50.

[rominer]

Johnny Pesky doesn't just look old anymore. He looks really old.

[FishCake]

Wake and Tek with the first pitch. Nice.

Edit-Why do they insist on playing shit music?

I think that kid who just gave the ball to Wakefield has more mobility than Kevin Youkilis
