Let’s just get this out of the way: The last time the Yankees came to the Fens for a five-game set, in 1959, the Sox swept all five. Could history repeat itself? Anything is possible…Let’s break this down…
Since the Skanks lost 2 of three to the Oreos,(who DOES that???) they are entering the this [...]

Thankfully, David Well played stopper last night and pitched fairly well (6.2IP,10H 4R, 4ER 1BB 3SO, with 90 picthes, 64 for strikes) to get his 2nd win of the season
And Craig Hansen rose to the occasion and pitched an inning and a third of 1 hit ball to hold the Tigers at bay… “Maybe you [...]

As we continue our losing ways in what some people are calling “Danger Week” I feel our chances for October Ball grow more and more dim…
Bill Simmons has a good breakdown of all of the AL teams and their potential to win it all- I would say great or excellent, if only he did not [...]

Well, so much for the complete game shut out, or the 7-8 innings strong…Hell, I would have been happy with the 6 innings he pitched, without giving up the 5 runs…first pitch? TRIPLE. First inning–3 runs in, which was almost enough to bury us right there–But then, 2 more in the 3rd inning, and [...]

Well, we held up our end of the bargain (sweeping the Oreos) Unfortunately, the Skanks didn’t, managing to salvage 1 game out of 3 from the Angels, so we are still 1 GB (2 for the WC) as we head into what will be our most dangerous (and telling) set of series of the [...]

Holy Buckets! Nothing like a game at home to right the ship! Hopefully the 1-5 road trip was a horrible abberation and this is the way they will contine to play.
Since the Skanks lost, picked up a game on the division (on 2 GB) Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the [...]

I don’t even know what to say about this…I am so horribly disappointed that this game went so horribly wrong, so horribly fast…and it wasn’t even like we were a big bag of suck—Curt was just…left…in…too…long…
But Manny keeps his hitting streak alive! It’s a great thing–for him, but he never seems to come up [...]

9. Why are we losing to these horrible, crappy teams? Last night was the 4th loss in a row…to teams WELL under .500. Holy Buckets! KC has a .354 winning percentage, and Tampa Bay? A robust .409…
8. Why did JV have such a horrible time catching Josh Beckett?? I understand his pitches [...]

If not for the fact that the WHITE Sox pulled a rabbit out of a hat by managing to stage a rally against Mariano Rivera in the ninth to tie the score at 5 and then a Jermaine Dye single to score the winning run against Scott Proctor in the 11th, the RED Sox would [...]

All righty then…a 10,000 ft view of the KC Royals: 38-73, Bottom of the AL Central, 37 games behind Detroit and the worst team in the American League. Any questions? No? Are we clear on expectations? Or do we need to review? How bout we review once more for those [...]
