Watched the game earlier. Even in ST, beating the Cubs always brings a smile on my face.

Me too. But it looks like the Cubs are going to be a disaster this year, so beating them may not mean much. They have 2 key injured pitchers (Lilly and Guzman) already. Soriano is still flubbing balls in left field. The Ghost of Milton Bradley (Carlos Silva) will make Cubs fans regret they ran Milton out of town. Lou is as clueless as ever. It's heading for disaster, and for Sox fans, it will be as funny as watching the Three Stooges.

I know Ozzie is having everyone run, just to see what they can do. But I find it pretty encouraging that as a team, we are 10 for 11 in SB.

 

Yes, it's encouraging. But that percentage will decline over the spring and into the season, as the pitchers are still working on their pitches right now, and can't focus too much on the runners. But still, it's encouraging, and a pleasure to watch. If we actually do progress beyond a station-to-station softball team, it will be a fun year.

Funny you mention that. My buddy texted me during the game and said "I love watching Soriano in the outfield. He is like all three stooges wrapped into 1"

Very encouraging pair of split squad games. The fundamentals part of it really has been good until now. If they can produce runs with solid base running and play good defense that is the majority of the battle. But I can still rewind back to the first 3 months of the 2009 season when we were shut out 9-10 times. It was so brutal!!! Feast or Famine. I am sure no one wants to go through that again!!
