This was one crappy day from beginning to end…and it makes me cranky just thinking about it..not to mention that my feeling is that we are now at DEFCON 3 (War Games is one of my favorite movies–at least the last 30 minutes of it is…)
Its a good think the owners of NEPABlogs discourages the […]

The Sox ROCKED Chicago this weekend, scoring a THOUSAND runs (ok, it was only 46, but it FELT like a thousand) and the Skanks were humiliated and annihilated by Detroit, and yet, once again, our pitchers pitched well enough to win, and the bats were sound asleep.
You mean to tell me that 1 run off […]

I KNOW the Skankee win last night means very little in the grand scheme of things…There has been many (far TOO many) years the Sox have been at this point (7-8 games behind at the end of August) and we knew it was all over, that there was no way the Sox were going to […]

The Sox need to keep up the pressure, and ride the momentum of their 4 game, never-less-than- 10-runs-per-game streak…They need to step on Skankee throat and completely finish them going into September…it would be nice to be able to play without pressure for the month–and I will not fret when I go to Bermuda for […]

When the Sox went into Chicago, they had a 5 game lead in the division–By the end of the weekend, the lead had swelled to 7.5, and could be 8 by the end of today, provided the Skanks lose again to Detroit, if not, it’s 7 games–what a most excellent way to begin a 3 […]

As the writer of a baseball blog about the Boston Red Sox, I join the ranks of literally THOUSANDS of bloggers who also write about the Sox. There is every permutation of Red Sox Blog: Red Sox vs.Yankees, Girls that write about the Sox, People who drink heavily who write about the Sox, People who […]

So after waiting for 2.5 hours for this game begin, the Sox (both sets) decided to go with a day/night doubleheader starting at 2:05pm today. But even that has the potential to be rained out, so it could get very interesting in the windy city this weekend…
In a pretty shocking move (at least to me) […]

Runners left on base: 14…Freaking wonderful…
I don’t know why I thought MAYBE things would change, that the Sox would start to hit in crucial spots, that they would not let opportunities to score slip away (like the bases loaded in the 3rd, with no outs, and only 1 run scored–on a Mike Lowell sac fly). […]

With this win last night over Tampa Bay, and the Skankee spanking (18-9) by the Angels the magic number is now 32 and the lead in the AL East is 6…wish it was 60…
Jon Lester was less than stellar last night, going 5 1/3 and giving up 5 runs on 4 hits (including 2 homers), […]

Tim Wakefield, despite the fact that he was without Doug Mirabelli (Kevin Cash filled in admirably, only having 1 passed ball the entire game) and the knuckler was dancing like a freak, pitched brilliantly, blanked the Devil Rays, going 7 strong and only giving up 4 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 5… he […]
