Who's Heidi Watney hot-tubbing with?

I follow NESN Red Sox reporter Heidi Watney on Twitter, and this morning I noticed this Tweet from her account, posted sometime around midnight:

We can take JP's boat out n go fishing n drinking! Or a hottub n drinks... Whatever... Fun n drinks ;)

The Tweet has since disappeared from Heidi Watney's Twitter feed. It was likely meant as a direct message to someone, and the "JP" is probably Toronto Blue Jays catcher J.P. Arencibia, who has been flirting with Heidi Watney on Twitter recently.

On Feb. 12, for example, he posted, "Is it bad that I have a crush on [@heidiwatney] even if she works for boston??" The following day, Watney responded, "Not only is @jparencibia9 very sweet but he's a pretty good cornhole partner too! We made a good team :)"

Liverpool at Fenway Park in 2012

Liverpool will play at Fenway Park in 2012.

Tom Werner, chairman of Liverpool FC and the Boston Red Sox, said in a spring training Q and A that his soccer team would play at the home of his baseball team next year, according to Boston.com. There was no mention of an opponent for the Liverpool Fenway Park match.

A Liverpool Fenway Park match would follow in the footsteps of last year's Futbol at Fenway friendly, which pitted Celtic FC against Sporting Lisbon. There has been no word if there will be a Futbol at Fenway event in 2011.

New England Sports Ventures, owners of the Red Sox, purchased Liverpool in October 2010 and named Werner chairman the following month.

Red Sox 2011 lineup: What should it be?

The 2011 Red Sox are stacked, but this plethora of talent presents a problem: how to make a lineup that maximizes their potential.

The subject of the Red Sox 2011 lineup has come up in several discussions with friends in recent days, and there hasn't been much agreement. So here I'm going to spell out what my Red Sox 2011 lineup would be, and why.

Leadoff
The natural inclination is to go with Jacoby Ellsbury or Carl Crawford here, because of their speed. But Crawford didn't lead off in Tampa Bay, and Ellsbury is a question mark because of his injuries last year. Will he be able to return to his pre-2010 form? Quite possibly, but do you want to find out by taking away at-bats from the other monsters in the lineup? That's why my pick at the top of the Red Sox 2011 lineup is Dustin Pedroia. He actually has a better career on-base percentage than Ellsbury and Crawford, as well as decent speed (20 swipes in both 2009 and 2008).
