DOMINICANS BEAT PIRATES 11-8
Pedro and Manny and Ortiz, oh my!
Notable performances:
Kapler: 1/4, 3B, 2 R, 3 RBI
Shumpert: 2/4, 3B, 2 R, RBI
Ramirez: 3/3, 2B, R, 3 RBI
Ortiz: 1/3, R
Millar: 2/4, 2 2Bs, 2 RBI
Varitek: 1/2, R
Crespo: 1/2, 2 R
Martinez: 4 IP, 2 H, 3 R, ER, 2 BB, 7 K, 0 HR
Embree: IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 9 BB, K, 0 HR
PEDRO!
Sox ST records:
Overall: 10-6 (.625)
League games: 8-6 (.571)
Mayor's Cup: 2-1
Sox play the Blue Jays tommorrow afternoon.
NIXON AND GARCIAPARRA OUT
Nixon is out until May with a mildly herniated disc in his back. Nomar has mild tendinitis in his right Achilles heel. He may miss Opening Day. Nomar probably won't play in any games for 2 weeks which is dangerously close to the beginning of the year. The Sox will use Kapler and Millar in RF. Manny can also play right as well. Burks will get some playing time at first with Millar platooning in right. Reese will play SS with Mark Bellhorn probably replacing him at second. The modified lineup could look like this:
1. CF Damon
2. 3B Mueller
3. LF/RF/DH Ramirez
4. 1B/DH Ortiz
5. RF/1B Millar
6. RF Kapler or 1B/DH Burks
7. C Varitek
8. 2B Bellhorn
9. SS Reese
It isn't a bad lineup but it lacks strength at the end. I think the Sox should consider giving Crespo a chance at short due to his terriffic Spring.

UMass 5
UNH 2
Maine 1
BU 0
UMass will play Maine in the Hockey East final tommorow at 7 at the Fleet Center. Then the NCAA tournament begins next Friday. The Frozen four is being held in Boston this year.
TOURNEY ROUNDUP
NC State over UL-Lafayette
Illinois over Murray St
Memphis over South Carolina
BC over Utah
Vandy over WMU (hurts me)
Cincy over E. Tennessee St.
Oklahoma St over E. washington
Georgia Tech over N. Iowa
Kentucky over Florida A&M
Miss St over Monmouth
Sconsin over Richmond
Pacific over PC (hurts me)
Xavier over Louisville (hurts me)
UAB over Washington (hurts me)
Pitt over UCF
KU over Illinois-Chicago
Okay so I was 12-4 today which makes me 25-7 (.781) overrall. All of my Sweet 16 teams remain. Here are my predictions for tommorrow's games and Sunday's:
Duke over Seton Hall
Gonzaga over Nevada
Wake Forest over Manhattan
Texas Tech over St. Joe's*
Stanford over Bama (originally SIU)
Maryland over Syracuse (originally BYU)
UConn over DePaul (originally Dayton)
UNC over Texas*
Miss St over Xavier (originally Louisville)
BC over GT* (yes, I'm a stupid homer)
Oklahoma St over Memphis
Illinois over Cincy*
NC State over Vandy (originally WMU)
Pitt over Sconsin
KU over Pacific (originally PC)
Kentucky over UAB (originally Washington)
*=upset
URI lost to WVU in the NIT.
The Mavs killed the Celtics last night.
