The first game of the spring training season ended in a 4-4 tie in 10 innings with the Minnesota Twins last night in Fort Myers, Florida. Curt Schilling started for the Sox and lasted 2 innings. He pitched well, his location was very consistent and for the most part he kept hitters off-balance. Schilling gave up 2 hits and no runs in his debut outing.
Julio Lugo made a throwing error in the field, but made up for it the very next inning with a single to score Dustin Pedroia. Previously that same inning, David Ortiz had an RBI single. Jacoby Ellsbury, the highly tooted Red Sox prospect who played his college ball at Oregon State 2 years ago, had a good showing as well with a two-run single and a stolen base.
Josh Beckett makes his spring debut today at 1:05 in a split-squad meeting where his squad takes on Northeastern University. The other squad also plays at 1:05, against the Toronto Blue Jays where Kason Gabbard will get his first start.

Do you think the Sox need to make a run at some serious bull pen help before they can be considered a contender?
i dont know jack about baseball so i'm not gonna pretend- but Nice blog. Keep it up.
I agree we do need some bullpen help but so far we got veteran experience with Timlin and I'm a big fan of Craig Hansen. I'm not too optimistic about Hansen closing this year but if he doesn't, he should be ready next season.
