I just noticed that NESN (New England Sports Network) is carrying live coverage of spring training, all 36 days. Yesterday I got to watch Francona hit grounders and fungos, Manny stretching, Big Poppy take batting practice and random shots of skylarking in the outfield. I'm a baseball fan and all, but isn't this taking things just a bit too far? I suspect this is the only market that's doing this. God, we're insane here in N.E.
There's very little to no controversy or drama this year in the Red Sox camp for a change. 23 of 25 of last years team have returned. The only issue is who will be the starting center fielder.
