Happy Easter! Since it's Easter, I'm not going to dwell on the ugly game from yesterday. Instead, I wanted to give a few, positive things that have come from the Red Sox over the past few days:
* Carl Crawford is getting closer to playing in extended Spring Training games. He is currently taking batting practice on the field; and when he does start in games, he'll start as a DH and work his way to playing in the field. He would then go to minor league games. The prognosis was originally that Crawford would make it back to Major League games in May, but it could be within the next two or three weeks.
* Lefthanders Rich Hill and Andrew Miller started rehab assignments in Single-A yesterday. Rich Hill is recovering from Tommy John surgery that he had in June (if you don't recall, Hill pitched eight scoreless inning last year before needing surgery). Andrew Miller strained his left hamstring in Spring Training. When these two are ready for the Majors, they will both be welcomed additions to the Club.
* Ryan Sweeney is leading the team in batting average with .571 (he's 4 for 7). He hit a game-tying triple on Opening Game in the 9th inning.
* By 10:00 this morning, both Adrian Gonzalez and Darnell McDonald had tweeted that the Sox needed to win today.
I apologize for the lack of posts the past few days and for this short post. It is the Easter weekend though, and I've been spending time with my familly. If I don't do another post again today, enjoy the day and hopefully the Sox can pull out a win today.
