This is not even close to being amusing anymore: Jon Lester, who returned to Boston to be checked out for his aching back, has been diagnosed with enlarged lymph nodes, according to sources. Such a symptom can be caused by an array of issues, from infections to cancer. Cancer? CANCER? I reallyREALLY hope they are […]

Editors Note: I wrote this a few weeks back, before the Skanks fiasco, but posting it then would have seemed like sour grapes, so I figured I would wait until the appropriate time….and that time is now, as my beloved Sox continue on a horrible downward spiral, and I need some cheering […]

Is this how the fans of crappy teams feel? Am I the only one who feels like it has been FOREVER since we won a game? The Black Dot on the calendar feels automatic…this SUCKS…
Big Papi flew home to Boston yesterday afternoon, arriving last night, and was admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital for several days […]

I reallyREALLY did not think it could get worse than it has (which is ALWAYS an incorrect assumption.) But the news that Big Papi is returning to Boston because of the irregular heartbeat issue again strikes worry and fear in my heart….and it has nothing to do with baseball…
And the most amazing thing of all–Big […]

So, I have the Red Sox Schedule/Calendar on my wall at work–and everyday I mark a dot on the date, depending on the outcome of the game–Red dot for wins, and Black dot for non-wins (aka losses)..and today, I got to put three more black dots on the page–a page which, up until about a […]

For 70 pitches in 6+ innings (Probably could have pitched a complete game at that rate!) Josh Beckett shut out the Angels with four hits and walked none. And then the top of the 7th–the 1st walk, to Garrett Anderson, and then 2 balls into a 2nd walk to Juan Rivera, Doug Mirabelli goes out […]

Maybe Dan Shaughnessy should stop trying to start trouble: While Manny started last night’s game, he was pulled in the 4th inning because of soreness in right knee. He’ll undergo an MRI and other tests this morning, but it does not look good…Remember around the all-star break when a report came out that Manny […]

One good thing about the 10:05 start–I can go to bed when they are winning and not have to face the loss until the morning…
Because there can never be a season without Manny controversy (or Dan Shaughnessy creating some) the big buzz around town is that Manny is mad about what he perceives is a […]

I don’t even know what to say…while I did not expect to win FIVE, was 2 or 3 too much to ask??? We stormed and conquered the Kingdom of SUCK my friends…and how are we rewarded? By getting to play 675 night games (ok, its only 7 out of our next 8–and 5 in a […]

And its not even a really nice Chinet plate–its one of those cheapo 1-ply paper plates you need to use 3 of…
I don’t even know what to say, besides the last 3 days have been horrible (doesn’t it feel like MUCH longer?)
Very few thoughts:
Terry Francona has suddenly become the worst manager EVER….Who paid […]
