A
slimmer John Lackey - now healed from TJ surgery - says his right shoulder had not been well for three seasons, and he
vows to have a good season in 2013.
It's fresh for me again. It's a restart in a lot of ways for the team and for myself. There's time to change things. That's a challenge and I like a challenge.
David Ortiz may not be
fully recovered from an injured right Achilles tendon, but he says he will be ready for Opening Day against the Yankees.
I'm able to do the agility drills without any pain, which I wasn't able to do before, so that's a good thing. When I was injured those used to cause me a lot of pain, and I don't have any pain when I do them now.
GM Ben Cherington
said Ortiz is on schedule and the club has no concerns about his health. ... The Red Sox
named Dana Levangie as their bullpen coach. ... MLB.com has a
look at top prospects Xander Bogaerts and Jackie Bradley Jr.
Did this drive anyone up the wall like it did me?
ReplyDeleteOn his 2010 season: "I was 14-11 and if I had won one more game, it probably would have looked a lot better. Fifteen just seems like a better number. I think I was better than people say. If you pitch 200 innings in the majors, something is going right for you."
Yes. It reminded me of this: John Lackey Hates Making Excuses

ReplyDeleteHe might have 15 wins but he still would have had. A +6 era. Dope.
ReplyDeleteDon't get Kat started! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a looooooo(etc)ng time before any of us cheer for Mr Lackey. The one thing Lackey didn't lack was excuses.

ReplyDeleteThis is very amusing - the post and the comments. I had to think for a second who Mrs.GotRibe was! :)
