Ortiz, David 1 9 .406

Based on how Ortiz normally starts off seasons, he might hit .500 this year.

Luke Scott's beard looks even stupider today than it did yesterday.

Everyone said it couldn't possibly look more stupid than it did yesterday, but Luke Scott proved us all wrong.

Ross has homered in every Red Sox home game that I did not predict he would homer in.

3-0 Sox

[RedSoxAnni]

I think that Cody Ross is going to like playing at Fenway!

[rominer]

Cody Ross might have spent some time in San Francisco, but he is way less gay than Luke Scott.

Repko is used to those smaller minor league parks. That fly ball won't get it done in the big leagues.

Nice job by Doubrant to get out of a 2nd and 3rd 1 out jam,



I have to say that everyone wearing #42 is a stupid tribute. I'd rather see them all wear a patch or something.

If Mike Aviles is trying to get me to like him, it's working.

That's good to know.

But in my mind, I am adding to the story.

You can do better.

So can the Red Sox outfielders.

[rominer]

That was the wrong pitch to throw to Luke Scott.

The right pitch would have been the one that hit him in the jaw.

Please stop with the Dontourage.

Make it .550

I'm going to miss rom's Luke Scott rants when this series is over.

If it makes you feel any better, I doubt he's going to shave that abomination off of his face when the Rays leave town.

And I don't think his IQ is crossing the Mason-Dixon line anytime soon.

I can rant on a moment's notice. Especially since the Luke Scott thing is just a mini-rant that involves repeating the same thing over and over.

You were right, there was more to the story.
