Just a quick note. I played my third game of the Red Sox 2011 season a few minutes ago. The Rangers trounced the Red Sox 16-4. Josh Hamilton came to bat in each of the first three innings and homered each time. After three innings Hamilton was 3 for 3 with 3 homers, 6 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. Carl Crawford embarrassed the Red Sox by stealing third in the top of the 9th while trailing 16-3. He scored on a Ellsbury sac-fly. Classy. I’ll have to see if Crawford gets drilled the next time these teams meet.
