I thought it used to be on a Friday? Any chance this year that they banked on a Pats win, and the subsequent euphoric fans coming out the next day to cheer on the Sox caravan?
And so it goes for the most invisible Red Sox offseason in modern history. I really can't think of another time in my life where they've been this much of an afterthought.
Just caught up with a very emotional Malcolm Butler, alongside Adam Schefter. "They gave up on me. F—. It is what it is," Butler told us. https://t.co/GQLxM6eTGL
Makes all the stupid rivalries between the governments, the "elimination" of Cream Cheese, and other actions in the past two weeks look particularly foolish.
Vacuous.com has the listing of the truck contents:
20,400 baseballs
1,100 bats
200 batting gloves
200 batting helmets
320 Batting Practice tops
160 white game jerseys
300 pairs of pants
400 t-shirts
400 pairs of socks
20 cases of bubble gum
60 cases of sunflower seeds
My understanding is that the Red Sox is a pretty big operation. Couldn't they just buy that shit in Florida and keep it there and then buy another round of it for up here, rather than trucking it all the way down the East coast? Do you mean to tell me that this is all just a big publicity thing for the owner's wife to publish in her chew-toy??? #InnocenceLost
a - the general bulk supplies are ordered from the suppliers and delivered directly to Florida
b - anything that needs to come from Fenway is shipped by common ground carrier
c - the "equipment truck" is a decoy. A couple of employees are paid to put some temporary logo panels on the truck, load some empty cartons & gym bags, drive it out of town, remove the fake logo panels at some secluded spot, and return the truck.

Indeed
Also: Ha!
Very Exciting Game
Congratulations, Philly. See you next year, perhaps.

Philly Earned The Win
The Pats worked hard, Philly bested them.
What more can you say?
Truck Day

My son's roommate from Philly
will be in full gloat tomorrow.
Didn't even know that was tomorrow

Butler not very happy
Also
Both our indoor winter teams are playing great and are fun to watch right now
Insightful Globe headline
Boston streets mostly devoid of riots or revelries after Patriots’ Super Bowl loss.
Mostly?
Oh, UMass
Welp
If the Pats have to lose, I'm okay with the 2017 Eagles. Eagles earned it. Have to respect when one is outplayed.
Maybe don't brag so much next time

Yes
but they were supposed to look foolish. I guess you missed that.
That's the Pee-Wee excuse
Not any more foolish than celebrating
the departure of a couple of tractor trailers to Florida.
Truck day

What?
You want the Red Sox to use cheap Floridian sunflower seeds that have not been properly calibrated for cracking force and spitting distance?
I'm of the belief that

Been watching that Andy Griffith Show
episode "Black Day in Mayberry" again, eh?
Can someone who's a sports geek
explain why the Red Sox even need 20,400 baseballs for spring training in the first place.
They Get Beat Up
Spring Training takes about 50 days? 400 balls a day maybe. Considering you have 100+ players using them. It's not that crazy.*
*All estimates pulled from my ass
