May 2, 201114 yr I was at the game today and actually, while it was Groundhog Day for the first half, they did come back and threaten late. Dunn FINALLY hit something. Lillibridge homered (!?!?! our Sox hero?) and it did seem from the UD behind home plate that Rios got screwed on that call. So this one didn't bother me as much. But DAMN I cannot remember such a dismal start in recent history. One bright side: Santos is obviously the closer.

May 2, 201114 yr I'm not one to complain to much about coaches, but I have found it frustrating seeing Swisher leave the team, make subtle changes to his approach at the plate (which he credits Kevin Long for) and then see significant improvement. Sure, he's off to a tough start this year, but he put up back to back good years in NY after leaving Chicago. Maybe he should have had the same result here with a better hitting coach. Could be coincidence, but we seem to have players stay in slumps longer than other teams.

I will say this much for you J, at least you were here and out front. I haven't seen some of these people in years. I keep catching myself saying "Who the f*** is that?" These people must have been hiding with Bin Laden or something.
