THAT is how many runs the anemic Sox offense scored off the Colorado Rockies in the last 3 games….The amount of runs the Rockies scored off one of the best pitching staffs and the best bullpen in the league? I am glad you asked…TWENTY…
And perhaps the fact that the Sox are 5-4 in the last 9 [...]

Did you ever notice that there are some wins and loses that feel like they should count for more than 1 game either way? Last night’s game felt like that. It was a disaster from the get go…and the only thing that was the same in this game as the magnificent 1-hitter for Curt Schilling [...]

Isn’t it amazing how in one game Tim Wakefield cannot get out of the 3rd inning, or gives up 6 runs in 1 frame, but the next, he can pitch an 8 inning, 1-run beauty like last night’s game? His line: 102 pitches (67 for strikes) 8 innings, 4 hits, 1 run, while walking 1 [...]

Some very random thoughts…
The question has been asked (I am just wondering what took them so long…) if it would be a good idea to move Julio Lugo to the bottom of the order..I think this is a marvelous idea (yeah, your shocked, I know) I think we should move him to the bench and [...]

What is up with the new uniforms of the “D-Backs?” Dumb Dumb Dumb…that would be like the Sox having uniforms that say “R-Sox”
3 Errors–THREE ERRORS? And the most shocking thing of all–not one of them was Julio Lugo-and yes, while he DID hit a homer in Friday night’s game, how many runs has he given [...]

In my post yesterday, I mentioned that Curt Schilling might need to go out and throw a no-hitter…
Well, he did the next best thing–he threw a brilliant 100 pitch 1-hitter that WAS a no-hitter up until 8 2/3 inning, when Shannon Stewart managed to get a hit. Fortunately, Schilling was able to get the next [...]

The way the Sox have been playing this week, as soon as those 3 runs scored in the 4th, I said to myself: “Self, this game is over, and the Sox just lost their 4th in a row…CRAP”
And why the HELL does it always seem to the be the 4th inning???
Again, the starting pitching got [...]

One of the reasons Lenny DiNardo is no longer playing for the Red Sox is because he was not a consistent enough starter or reliever to stick–Oh, there were flashes of brilliance, enough to keep him on the roster the amount of time needed to get him past the Rule 5 Draft requirements. And he [...]

…Especially when it’s a game that starts at 10:05pm–and you are the visiting team who played the Skankees the night before until after midnight and then had to get on a plane and fly across the whole country, only to land around the ass-crack of dawn and try to get some sleep, even though your [...]

Than losing 2 of 3 to the Skanks, is losing by a homer by the bush-league, cheating, Slappy McBlue Lips…..
Well, THAT certainly could have went better–I was hoping for at least 2 of 3….in our favor..instead, the Skanks leave 12.5 games behind, rather than the 16.5 they SHOULD be….
A bunch of random thoughts about this [...]
