Opening Day for the Boston Red Sox was sweet - as in sweet revenge - and today they have more than met their daily minimum "sugar" requirement. They were triumphant over the Tampa Bay Rays in the first game of their three game season opening series. October fades. Boston's tradition of being a power team was re-enforced by two solo homers by Dustin Pedroia and Jason Varitek - an excellent beginning for both of them, as well as for starting pitcher Josh Beckett. I happily experienced this Fenway Park Opening Day win in a bar in Southern California and was joined at the table by three recent arrivals to the state - Annie, Dave, Sean. Just one hundred sixty-one more games.
