Red Sox fans, after Sunday's disaster, I need something to look forward to. When is Truck Day?

first red sox pitcher and catcher workout is feb 15th and truck day is usually a week before first workouts so i'd guess feb 8th. AKA 3 weeks

For those who don't know -- probably anyone who is a rational, sane baseball fan or a fan of any team besides the Red Sox -- "Truck Day" is the day when the equipment truck leaves Fenway bound for training camp in Florida.

Yes, this brief moment, which some interpret as the first true sign of springtime, rates media coverage, and has since at least the late 1980s (when it was a much smaller deal, but still).

Red Sox fandom runs deeply and dangerously sometimes.

Amazingly, and I consider this a goodish thing, Wiki does NOT have a separate page regarding Truck Day, but it is mentioned in the 2010 Red Sox page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Boston_Red_Sox_season#Spring_Training

If possible now the desperation and anticipation for baseball to begin is even higher. I wish we could fast forward 3 weeks to Truck Day. Sigh. It'll take a long time to get over yesterday's nightmare..

All i will say is that the Jets won a game many thought(including myself) wouldn't win. Hats off to them.
