The Red Sox will close out their spring training season with a slate of two exhibition games against the Mets in New York… and apparently, it’s never too early to get excited about that matchup.
During the Mets’ testing of the giant jumbotron scoreboard at the newly constructed Citi Field, look who popped up on the screen — well, besides David Wright:

Looks like Lowrie snagged himself that SS spot – and Wakefield is still pitching in the 7th. C’mon, Sox – let’s get some runs!
Thanks to metsgrrl for the tip!
Wooo hooo! Lowrie is your main SS and Ellsbury is gonna be playing CF everyday! can’t wait for the season to start!!!!
That’s great!
Lugo was pretty sure of himself being the SS. Now that Jed’s wrist is better, I’m curious to see how he does offensively. Defensively, he was an upgrade over Lugo.
I like this look into the future. I can’t wait for Wednesday!
i love the new site look! i can’t wait for the season to start.
I am SO excited for baseball!
I don’t know if anyone has already seen this or not but it is sooo cute. It’s a video about a little boy who loves Josh Beckett.

Tek is catching Wake – and look, Drew’s back must be OK!
And…Take it, Midnight!
Woah Papi at first base?? Also I am totally going to start saying “take it, midnight” from now on
Baseball is so close. I can’t wait!
@fc: It’s all rainbows and sunshine in the Mets alterna-verse!
@Angie: He’s gotta play somewhere – and Mikey LoLo is way more dispensable than Youk.
@Okie Sox Fan:
Okie, that is AWESOME!
Thank you for posting that link. The “root, root” had me ROTFLMAO.
Does anybody else get flashbacks to the 13th inning of Game 5 when they see the line:
P-Wakefield
C-Varitek
together?
Definitely looks like a solid line-up for interleague play, though. (And that would mean we’d get to see our pitchers at the plate, which is worth it for the entertainment value alone.)
@Texy: Ouch – Mikey, dispensable. How times change. Remember who played, and who wore the parka in the dugout in Colorado?
@fc: PARKA!
Wait- are you, the resident Warthog Lady telling me you want Youk to ride the pine?
@Texy: No, no – and believe me, I questioned it then. I just want to give Mikey some respect; he hasn’t been getting much lately. Don’t ask me to choose between my children!
But, seriously dude – Warthog Lady? No.
@fc: WL for short? No? How about Youkarama?
