Hello and happy holiday Monday, folks. Very nice of the federal government to give Sam Kennedy and Larry Lucchino (RIP) their own dedicated holiday today.<\/p>\n
Good news for ya: we officially get to see the Red Sox play some baseball this week! Boston\u2019s first game of the spring, their annual tuneup against Northeastern University, will be held on Friday at Fenway South. I\u2019m looking forward to the subsequent annual crash out on #SoxTwitter when Northeastern scores a run early\u2014it\u2019s something you can set your watch to at this point. First pitch against the Huskies is set for 1:05 eastern, and it\u2019s ONLY\u2026\u2026\u2026.ON NESN.<\/p>\n

Grapefruit League play begins in earnest the following afternoon as we\u2019ll take on the Minnesota Twins, the first of eight games against our fellow Fort Myers dwellers. Hopefully we begin our quest for the legendary Chairman\u2019s Cup <\/a>strong; I\u2019ve personally heard from CBO Craig Breslow that getting that silverware back into the Fenway South trophy case is of paramount importance this season. It\u2019s coming home<\/a>, many are saying.<\/p>\n How excited are you to watch spring training baseball?<\/p>\n Sound off in the comments about how important a 2026 Chairman\u2019s Cup win would mean to you, and why that triumph would be a more iconic moment in franchise history than David Ortiz\u2019s walk offs in Game 4 and Game 5 combined.<\/p>\n Be good to each other and go Sox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hello and happy holiday Monday, folks.
