The Boston Red Sox, winners of more championships this century than anyone, have opened spring training with the best pitching staff in history.
Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, Daisuke Matsuzaka, John Lackey, Clay Bucholz, and Tim Wakefield as 6 incredible starters, a bunch of relievers, and then Jonathan Papelbon as the best closer in all of baseball.
Incidentally, these anomalies continue to amaze - - -
"Batting from the left side of the plate" -- This actually means batting right-handed, since the left side of the infield is third base, and the left side of the outfield is left field.
"Runners at the corners" - - Since the bases are in a diamond (actually a perfect square), this has no meaning. Each base is one of the corners. What corners are the runners at?
"After x innings, there is no score" - - Actually, there is a score. Nothing to nothing. That is a score. 0-0.
"Best record in baseball" - - Wanna bet? There is some minor league, college, high school, little league, t-ball, or other team somewhere with a much better record. Probably a bunch of teams, including some undefeated teams.
"Tell you what" - - And then they never tell me what. They tell me something else instead.
