March 4, 2011,
Well it's all started up again. Spring Training is here, even though it read 5 degrees below zero this morning. The Sox are down in Florida. I am happy to say that I have purchased tickets for 3 trips to Fenway Park this year. They are Monday April 18 (Patriots Day-11am start) vs Toronto, Wednesday June 1st (1:30pm start) vs Chicago White Sox and finally Saturday August 12th for the "Futures at Fenway" doubleheader. The first game is Binghamton vs Portland Sea Dogs then right after that game the AAA afiliate Pawtucket Red Sox play.
Now according my watch today is March 4th. What am I getting at you might be wondering... Just a month and a few days (April 7th 6pm) the Portland Sea Dogs open their 2011 season at Hadlock Field. Now seeing how just a week or two ago they measured 18 inches of snow at home plate at Hadlock Field. Lets hope things warm up real fast. One player that is looking like will start in Portland is infielder Oscar Tejada. This is a player that has been around in the minors for a few years in the Sox organization. Last seasons at single A Salem he it .307 with 11 homers. Based on his career in the minors so far he's a very raw player with good bat but defense could use some work. Kinda reminds me of a little of former Sox prospect Hanley Ramirez. But wheather there is room for him in Boston in the near future remains to be seen.

So baseball is coming. There is more to come!
Great post! Can't wait for more..
