Opening day: Sox 7, Rangers 3

·1 min

Good Lord, Coco Crisp is fun to watch. Scoring from first on an Ortiz hit, and that catch that turned a potentially close finish into a harmless final inning.

Ortiz is fun to watch too. But you know that. Hell, he knows that: look at him watching the own sweet arc of yet another ball launched into orbit.

And I’m encouraged by Mike Lowell’s homer - not just because it was a homer from a guy upon whom question marks have been floating, but because I’m hoping that’s a harbinger of things to come - that sweet pull into left field, sending balls over the Monster or at least peppering the Monster.
