In just a few short hours (at 7:05pm) the 1st game of the 2007 will begin–it does not count, and you probably won’t see any starters after the 4th or 5th inning–but it will be BASEBALL! 9 innings, 27 outs, with hitters and pitchers and fielders, and a score! We’ll take it. Wow–I cannot believe […]

Only Many Ramirez could show up 6 days late for Spring Training, and be praised for showing up 3 days earlier than his originally stated date of March 1…But after the 2nd grade antics of some of the reporters, I would not be surprised if he NEVER talks to the media again. C’mon folks, questions […]

While I am certainly not surprised the Red Sox decided to hold off on re-signing Curt Schilling to a 1-year. $13 million dollar contract, I just think it’s a very bad idea…Yes, I do understand the motivation behind the decision: he’s older, and he is looking more like El Guapo than himself these days (not […]

Ya know……It’s bad enough that Manny is not at Spring Training with the rest of his team, as he is home because nursing his mother after surgery–and THAT would be understandable, if it wasn’t for the fact that he has trotted the “my mother’s ill” excuse out about 52 times in the last 3-4 years […]

That is, except for Manny, if Julian Tavarez is to be believed….Tavarez was talking to Dan Roche in a TV interview Sunday night and mentioned that Manny’s mom requires surgery of some kind, which will prevent Manny form not reporting until next Thursday, March 1–a full 9 days after the mandatory reporting day of March […]

Special thanks to Kaylee for finding this…
Check it out for yourself here (I’m Jason Varitek)…and here is another one: Are you a True Red Sox Fan?
Some random thoughts to go with the tests: In a fairly surprising move, Keith Foulke announced his retirement yesterday. Said Foulke in a statement: “While preparing for the 2007 season, […]

I thought this day would NEVER arrive! Whoo Hoo! Though if this snow keeps up (and they are looking at another big storm next week) they may be playing in drifts when they arrive in Boston in April!

Whooo Hoo! Hard to believe baseball will start tomorrow, as we dig ourselves out of tons of snow and ice–with negative wind chills…Feels like it will never be warm again…J.D. Drew screws us again: It’s bad enough that the Sox are overpaying for this guy–then he steals Trot’s number, instead of waiting a suitable morning […]

Before I get to the remaining players in my beloved team, I just have one comment…
Johnny Damon betrays a nation, and his number is not used for a year (Daisuke now has it..) But TROT, who was never anything but a stellar member of the Sox, 15 minutes after he is out the door, his […]

In just a few minutes, The “Official” start of the 2007 campaign kicks off–The Truck leaves Fenway to start its journey to Fort Meyers, delivering all the equipment in time for the pitchers and catchers who are reporting this Friday–THIS FRIDAY! Whooo Hooo! Let the games begin!
The Boston Globe/Boston Dirt Dogs, in […]
