Opening Day
Tomorrow begins the 6 month roller coaster ride known as the Boston Red Sox regular season. Lucky for the Red Sox, they get to start the season in Kansas City. That should mean a quick 3-0 start, right? Not so fast...
Over the last 2 years, the Red Sox have made 2 trips out to Kauffman Stadium. They have gone 1-5 in those games (I was lucky enough to be present at 2 of those losses). That 1-5 record against the Royals is why the Red Sox never win the AL East, and never will unless they stop playing down to the bottom dwellers of the AL.
Not only have the Red Sox as a whole struggled in KC, but tomorrow's opening day starter, Curt Schilling, has had his share of problems there too. In 4 games (3 starts) against KC, Schilling has a 6.20 ERA and a 1.62 WHIP. That isn't going to get it done, not even against the Royals.
Hopefully tomorrow will be the start of a new tradition of beating the teams you're "supposed" to beat.
