So I attended the Rush Concert with my fiancé last evening, and being that I am not so much of a Rush fan (the fiancé puts the “fan” in “fanatic”–sort of like how I am with the Sox..but with less insanity…) So I spent a good portion of the evening on my RAZR watching the […]

I cannot even really get that upset about yesterday’s loss, although it sucks that the Sox lost once again, to this less than stellar team. It was also their EIGHTH loss in a row in Seattle, dating back to last year. And let’s not forget it was the sweep by the Mariners last year that […]

6 walks…6…WALKS?????
So, who exactly thought bringing Kason Gabbard up over Jon Lester was a good idea? I know he has been pitching well in Pawtucket, and he got 1 major league win under his belt, and this is Seattle, but 6 WALKS???? That is what killed him in this game, in this game, the inability […]

I have to admit, as great as Josh has been this year, I was a bit apprehensive that the bats may not show up against Jake Peavey, with his sub 2 ERA and all. But fortunately, Josh was Josh, going 8 innings and only giving up 2 runs on 8 hits, while striking out 8 […]

Swept…Beaten…Swept…Truer or more beautiful words were never said to a Red Sox fan when talking about the 2004 World Series…
I was recently contacted by A & E (yes, the TV network) to review one of their Red Sox DVD collections as part of their mammoth “Celebrating American’s National Pastime” sale which is running until July […]

A pitching masterpiece from Julian Tavarez, 5 homers, leading to 11 runs, the Skanks losing, and winning the series against Atlanta? Definitely say these are many of my favorite things!
How cool was it that JD Drew hit a solo shot and Coco Crisp (The world is not ending, Ted, I checked) with his his 3-run […]

Another day, another brilliant line for Josh Beckett–and his 1st shutout outing this year: 6 innings pitches, giving up only the 4 hits, 0 runs, while striking out 3. He also hit an RBI double in the 5th inning, and came around to score…He would have pitched longer, but the 43 minute rain delay to […]

14 years ago, on July 1, 1993, another major Curt Schilling weirdness occurred–actually, it was the same type of weirdness–no strikeouts. And 348 starts later, the same thing happens. OK, its strange enough he has no strikeouts–but when a pitcher who is 4th among pitchers still on the mound in strikeouts–its…major weirdness…
Another strange thing: two […]

3-3 on a 6 game home stand, with the 6th series sweep of this season. Not the best, by and stretch–but better than a losing record…and I could have done without the Barry Bonds home-run–and people thing Manny does too much stylin? And what about that snarky comment of his? “I believe I had two, […]

No one wants to have Jon Lester back more than me–I love to watch the kid pitch–his stuff is electric–and knowing that he overcame CANCER to come back and be a major league pitcher is something astound and noteworthy…
BUT, can you find a another pitcher with as much heart as Julian Tavarez? Yeah, he is […]
