Boston started out exhibition play beating Boston College 24-0, and Beckett wasn't pleased with his performance.  Somehow I do not expect a repeat of what happened the last time they won the World Series.  It's exhibition play, but thank god baseball is back. Football is great, but I can't do basketball or hockey.  Basketball is watchable for me in a last case situation, but hockey, not at all. 
What kills me about basketball is that the league is filled with thugs, who care more about image than the game.  The regular season means nothing, because they basically let 75% of the league into the postseason, and the long series in every round makes the playoffs last for an eternity.  I think even the first round of the postseason is 7 games.  You got to be kidding me, way too much. 
Anyways, thank god baseball is back.  I love everything about it, watching it, reading about it, fantasy baseball.  I'm looking forward to seeing some of the younger Red Sox coming up and contributing, guys like Ellsbury and perhaps seeing if Craig Hansen can finally put it together.
