The Boston Red Sox 2011 season was the 111th in the team's history. The Red Sox opened their 2011 season playing away from Fenway Park against the Texas Rangers. Breaking from the traditional opening day of Sunday or Monday, Major League Baseball opened in 2011 on a Thursday, March 31, and the Red Sox opened the season on Friday, April 1. The Red Sox 2011 season ended on September 28 with a loss against the Baltimore Orioles, which, coupled with a win by the Tampa Bay Rays, made the Rays the American League Wild Card winners, eliminating Boston from the playoff race. 2011 marks the second year in a row that the Red Sox have missed the playoffs.

2011 Spring Training

Fans gathered at Fenway Park on February 8, 2011 in order to kick off the Red Sox preseason by celebrating Truck Day.[4] Truck Day is an annual event which marks the Boston Red Sox’s truck departure to Southwest Florida for Spring Training. The first full team workout of the preseason took place on February 19.[5] Playing other teams in the Grapefruit League the Red Sox finished with 14 wins and 19 losses.[6]

2011 Season

The Red Sox made a statement in the offseason, letting everyone know that after missing the playoffs last year, they are striving to win the World Series this year, but instead imploded in dramatic fashion in September and failed to, once again, make the playoffs. During the offseason the Red Sox traded for superstar First Baseman Adrian Gonzalez,[7] and they followed that move up by signing star outfield Carl Crawford.[8]

Opening Day

The Red Sox kicked off the year against the defending AL Pennant Winners, the Texas Rangers in Arlington, Texas on Friday, April 1. The Red Sox home opener was Friday, April 8 against the rival New York Yankees.

On May 15, John Lackey and Daisuke Matsuzaka were put on the disabled list. On June 1, Matsuzaka decided to have Tommy John Surgery and ended his season.
