sureshot25 Posted September 4, 2006 Share Posted September 4, 2006 Hey guys, after viewing many dynasty topics, I decided to create my own dynasty. It seems fun and I hope I get people to follow. I'm doing a 50 game season due to my schedule. Enough with the talk, lets get started.. The 2005 season came to a screeching halt for the defending world champion Boston Red Sox. They were swept in the ALDS by the soon to be world champion Chicago White Sox. The offseason didn't pan out so pretty either. After losing CF Johnny Damon to the rival New York Yankees, GM Theo Epstein resigning (only to come back later), traded away SS Edgar Renteria to the Atlanta Braves for Andy Marte. Him, and along with Mota, and a few prospects, were delt away to the Indians for CF Coco Crisp and relief pitcher David Riske. Theo's best moment in the offseason came when he acquired by a trade ace pitcher Josh Beckett. The Red Sox were without a quality starter in 2005 to go along with Curt Schilling, as they were in 2004 when they had Pedro-Schilling as 1-2. Can the Red Sox go further this year? How will the Red Sox top prospects turn out? Time will only tell, and Red Sox fans, please...keep the faith.

Here we will take a look at them: Offense: Not as good as it was back in recent years. With the new lineup, can they still manufacture runs? Pitching: Although the rotation seems solid, how will the bullpen hold up? Can Rudy Seanez turn things around? Can Keith Foulke put his horrendus 2005 season behind him? How long can an ageing Mike Timlin go? And how will rookie Jonathen Papelbon handle the closer role in a pressure city like Boston? Trot Nixon: Will his performence be affcted by being in a contract year? And can he stay off the DL? Mike Lowell: Is he washed up, or was 2005 just an off year for him? Kevin Youkilis: New position, first time as an everyday player. How will he handle it? Screenshots of game 1 to come very shortly. Also I put myself on the Pawsox, if anyone wants to see how I'm doing just let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sureshot25 Posted September 4, 2006 Author Share Posted September 4, 2006 W.B. Mason's Extra Innings Game 1 The Red Sox wasted no time scoring runs in the first inning. After Coco Crisp was retired, Mark Loretta smacked a 1-out double to right-center. Ortiz was next and picked up where he left off in 2005 by belting a 2-run homer to right for his first of the year. Manny was up next and drilled a solo homerun to left, as this marks the first time Ortiz and Manny go back-to-back this season. He was perfect through 5, until he gave up a triple to Brad Wilkerson, but was gunned down at the plate. Schilling was dominant through his outing, erasing any doubts so far that if he could return to his former self after his up and down performance in 2005. Schilling's only blemish came in the 7th where Carlos Lee hit a solo homerun off him to deep centerto make it a 3-1 game. Rookie Jonathen Papelbon came in the 9th for the save and was lights out.
