Getting Excited For Baseball

Seeing these 2010 baseball commercials have surely fired me up for the baseball season.

In this ESPN Sunday Night Baseball clip, Buchholz and actor Adam Scott sing along to Sweet Caroline and try and get Yankees outfielder, Nick Swisher involved too. He wants nothing to do with it. So what does Buchholz do? He continues to sing along by himself. And he can actually carry a tune (not sure why this surprises me, but it does!) I've never been a huge fan of Buchholz, but this makes me like the guy a little.





Then there are the NESN spots that my friend Susan Mahoney told me about. The first one kind of cracks me up. Orsillo is trying to explain how to navigate around Boston to John Lackey. It has often made me comment out-loud that 95/128 are the same road (in some spots) and that 95S turns into 93N....it's just confusing. Even to those of us who grew up in MA.



This last video, however, has got to be my favorite. A (real) Yankees fan walks into a barber shop talking smack...until he sees the likes of Papi, Tek, Wake and Paps. It's great.



What about you? Which is your favorite? What is getting you fired up for the baseball season?

Wakefield Left off of the World Series Roster

I missed Francona's press conference but from what I hear on WEEI, the starting lineup will be:

  • Beckett
  • Schilling
  • Daisuke
  • Likely Lester
Wakefield has been left off of the roster due to shoulder problems. He said his recovery time from his injury is taking longer and longer and longer to heal.

Also, Ellsbury will be starting tomorrow night in Center. Coco banged himself up pretty good making the last out of the ALCS.

Dear Red Sox Offense,

Please. Please. Please realize you need to provide your phenomenal pitching rotation with some run support. You can't expect a pitcher, such as Tim Wakefield, to only give up one earned run and still lose. This is bringing back bad memories of the 2006 season.

Let's get it started offense, light those bats up!

Sincerely,
Soxy Lady
