There's no joy in Mudville today. Yesterday, our beloved Boston Red Sox lost their opening game of the season to the Texas Rangers. It wasn't pretty. Boston's starting pitcher Jon Lester had a rough outing, giving up 5 runs in 5 innings, with no strike-outs. Big Papi made it a game by tying it up 5-5 with a solo home run at the top of the 8th inning, but then the Rangers scored 4 runs off relief pitcher Daniel Bard (or as I like to call him, the Bard Dog) in the bottom of the 8th to go ahead 9-5. But don't despair, all of you out there in Red Sox Nation; it's early yet for our boys, and the Sox are no longer a cursed team. You still gotta believe.
