I met ex-Red Sox pitcher Bruce Hurst at a card show this weekend. He was one of the members of the Pawsox all-time team card set I have been getting autographs for. Hurst was very nice and chatted with Jeremy for a minute. So now I've got nine of the 30 Pawsox cards signed.

A rough weekend for the Sox, who dropped 2 out of 3 in Toronto. David Wells pitched poorly again, giving up six runs in 6 and 1/3 innings, then the bullpen gave up another six. Matt Clement only gave up 3 runs over six innings today, but this guy will drive you to drink. He worked in and out of trouble all afternoon, and just seemed to get a strikeout or double play just when he needed it. Hopefully some home cooking will right the ship. Tomorrow is the home opener, with the ring ceremony and everything else. Unfortunately, I'll be watching it on TV during a late lunch at work, but tickets were pretty much impossible to come by.

We had our first really nice weekend of the spring this weekend and it was really nice to be outside. We did some work around the house, got the bikes out and went for some walks. After the hideous winter we had, I'm happy it's finally spring.
