This has been a big topic on WEEI lately. You can’t help but wonder whether or not our starting rotation is going to change with all the extra pitching we have. Right now we have a decent rotation of Becket, Lester, Matsuzaka, Wakefield, and Penny. Meanwhile, redsox.com reports that Smoltz says he’ll be ready to pitch for Boston in just three more starts. Then you have Clay Buchholz in Pawtuckett with a 3-0 record who nearly threw a perfect game on Monday.

Entrance into the Hall of Fame is the highest individual honour that baseball has to offer. Getting into Cooperstown means that without a doubt you are one of the greatest players of your generation and have earned the right for children to stare at your plaque as parents tell tall-tales of your abilities for years to come.

Did anyone else get déjà vu today? Well I sure did after seeing run after run after run – this time against our beloved Sox. Toronto scored in every inning except for the 2nd and 9th innings. The 9th was a 1-2-3 inning pitched by closer Jonathan Papelbon, who really was one of the only ones left in the bullpen at that point. It was the first 1-2-3 inning for the Sox.

It’s been busy trying to find times to update lately, but I’m still trying to stick to my “once a day” posts. Right now I’m updating from the commuter rail to Boston – and no, I don’t have tickets to the game tonight, but judging by the weather right now, that might be a good thing. Anyway, let’s talk some baseball:

You fat sonofabitch, welcome home!
Really, I'm very excited to see this man in a Sox uniform. He is clearly the spiritual offspring of Pedro Martinez and Rich Garces, and I declare him the harbinger of a brilliant summer for the Sox. May he be dubbed "El Guapo Segundo".

It's the ninth inning of a scoreless game between the Red Sox and Blue Jays. Roy Halladay and Jon Lester had both pitched brilliantly, holding the other team scoreless through eight innings. Papelbon came on to help Lester, but with the shay back end of the Toronto pen--closer B.J. Ryan coming off TJ surgery, setup man Jeremy Accardo with an ERA over 8--the game was Halladay's to win or lose. Three times already, he'd gone the distance, but had lost two of those games when Toronto failed to muster enough offense to give him the win. Would this time be the charm?

The 2008 Red Sox season may very well hinge on the ability of Dice-K to live up to his potential. With Big Schilly on the sidelines for a majority of the season the pitching staff is now focused en

While the Red Sox do not need to panic at news that Curt Schilling will be sidelined with shoulder soreness until at least the All Star Break this season, they should explore other options for starting pitching depth in case Schilling is unable to return or is ineffective when he does.
