| |  | BOSTON: BOSTON (AP) - Last season was one to remember for fans of the Red Sox - and one to forget for the players.
Soon after Boston's third World Series championship in 10 years, that bearded bunch decided to put it behind them and focus on what they must do to keep winning.
''It was a dream come true last year,'' pitcher Jake Peavy said. ''It's a new year. I think that's been a slogan of ours on the text messages that we've been exchanging with the guys, `Hey turn the page, it's a new year, it's 2014.' We haven't done anything and, obviously, some teams in our division got awfully better.''
The Red Sox won't be sneaking up on them, not after rebounding from a 69-93, last-place finish in the AL East to a 97-65 record, a 28-win improvement.
''You've got the bull's-eye on your back,'' second baseman Dustin Pedroia said. ''You want to get everybody's best, so I think it's going to be a fun challenge for everybody.''
John Farrell's disciplined, businesslike approach worked in his first year as Boston's manager. That, and the influx of players to improve the toxic clubhouse chemistry, made the one season under the animated Bobby Valentine seem like a distant memory.
Those players, including Jonny Gomes, Mike Napoli and Shane Victorino, return. The Red Sox lost center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury to the New York Yankees then signed Grady Sizemore as a possible replacement. Sizemore missed the last two seasons with knee and back injuries that required surgery but has had a healthy, productive spring training.
''In this group, no one's going to let anybody sit back and relax,'' Pedroia said. ''We're always going to push each other and make sure that we're respecting the game and playing the game the right way. If we do that, we should be all right.''
| | CHI WHITE SOX: CHICAGO (AP) - From rock bottom last season to contention this year? The Chicago White Sox see no reason why it can't happen.
They're ready to put last season's 99-loss wreck behind them and make a jump at least back to respectability, if not a run at the AL Central title.
They see a team with solid pitching, a new slugger in Jose Abreu and renewed vigor. Now, all they have to do is back it up.
''You have to pitch, you have to hit, you have to score,'' said manager Robin Ventura, entering his third season. ''You have to play defense. You have to do all of them in our division. Detroit has won it the last few years. They have a combination of everything. Unless you do that, you're not going to be close. We proved that last year.''
They had the pitching part down last season. The rest? Well, that's where things got dicey.

*Red Sox-White Sox Preview* ===========================
By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer
Boston (5-8) at Chicago (7-6), 8:10 p.m. EDT
Dustin Pedroia is optimistic he'll be back in the Boston Red Sox's lineup after a two-game absence, and his teammates are hoping their second baseman can lift their dipping run production.
For that to happen, he'll need to break out of a slump Wednesday night against the Chicago White Sox in the second of a three-game series at U.S. Cellular Field.
Pedroia, who entered Tuesday's 2-1 loss in Chicago as a pinch runner, expects to return after an MRI revealed no structural damage in his left wrist. He's 3 for 27 and has stranded 17 runners in his last six games. He also has a 2-for-17 lifetime mark against White Sox starter John Danks.
"Hopefully Pedroia is all right, and we get him back in the lineup just to kind of find our identity and who we are," first baseman Mike Napoli told the team's official website.
Napoli, however, might not be in the lineup with him after dislocating his left ring finger Tuesday while sliding into second base in the ninth inning. X-rays were negative and he is considered day to day.
While the Red Sox (5-9) have lost four of five and scored 12 runs in that span, the White Sox (8-6) won for the fourth time in five games as Xander Bogaerts' ninth-inning throwing error scored Alexei Ramirez on a Marcus Semien grounder to short to end the game.
Ramirez, who has played a key role in a walkoff win in consecutive games, reached on a one-out single to extend his season-opening hitting streak to 14 games. The Chicago shortstop is batting .415 to pace an offense getting on base at a .353 clip, which is among the best in baseball.
"For the most part all year, we've had really good at-bats," designated hitter Adam Dunn said.
Dunn homered with three walks Tuesday and has a .667 on-base percentage in the last four games. He's reached base in all 11 games he's played in.
Chicago now turns to Danks (1-0, 4.15 ERA) as it goes for a third straight win. The left-hander has been consistent through two starts, earning a 7-3 win Thursday as he yielded three runs on six hits in six innings against Cleveland. After allowing three runs in three innings, he felt like he settled in.
"I feel like third inning on, I was able to throw the ball where I wanted to," Danks told the team's official website. "I kept it down a little better, was getting some ground balls. It was kind of a tale of two games, but like I said, I've never had a bad win."
He's struggled at home against Boston, going 1-4 with a 6.11 ERA in five career starts.
Clay Buchholz will try to right things for Boston. After getting lit up in his first start, Buchholz (0-1, 6.97 ERA) started to reign it in Thursday against the Yankees but took the loss while allowing four runs - two earned - on seven hits in six innings.
"With my arm strength and everything, it got a lot better within a five-day span," Buchholz told the team's official website after his last start. "Usually, it doesn't happen that quick. I felt a lot more comfortable with each pitch out there tonight. I've got to minimize the damage a little bit more in a couple of spots. Other than that I felt like I threw the ball pretty well."
He's 2-1 with a 3.50 ERA at U.S. Cellular Field.
Boston closer Koji Uehara's MRI on his right shoulder also checked out OK, and he could be available Thursday.
