Sox one-hit BC

The Red Sox continued their annual tradition of playing BC and beating the college. This time, it was a one-hitter, with most regulars getting time in. Dustin Pedroia's foot appears to be fine, as he was able to play and hit. In his first at-bat, he walked, proving he can still get on base, and his second time up, he drilled a shot up the middle and was thrown out. That didn't matter, in my opinion. What mattered was that he was able to run hard and he said he couldn't even feel any pain in his foot. Kevin Youkilis, another star who ailed last year, was also able to play, and play he did. Second batter: Diving stop in the hole and quick throw to first. Then in the bottom of the inning, three-run bomb to dead center. Looks like Boston's back on track. And now I hear that both Jacoby Ellsbury and Mike Cameron are starting the night game against Northeastern. Life can't get better. Two more injured stars who seem to be all right. Unfortunately, looks like this pitcher won't be coming back. Down 1-0 in the 3rd and being forced to work? Not the kind of thing Kid Theo wants. Even so, it looks like the Sox will be OK this year, if these first games are any omen.

Trivia
Ellsbury only managed 18 games last year due to a rib fracture.
