Yeah, I know, they are only college kids, playing against World Champions, and I am not sure they college teams have EVER beaten the Sox, but it was still nice to have 14 innings (7 for each game)
And Josh Beckett did excellent in his 2 innings of work, keeping the Boston College players hitless, throwing […]

Yep, today, Red Sox Nation, are the 1st 2 games of the years, yes, only spring training games, and against college players no less but its an actual organized baseball game with a lineup card and innings and strikes and balls and outs…..and in less than a month, it will all matter! Whooo […]

OK, I know, its just a Spring Training game, and that Josh Becket (or any of the other starters for that matter) will pitch no more than an inning or 3, and most of the starters will be gone by the 5th inning, to be replaced by young ‘uns we have never heard of–but it […]

OK, Manny has been weird…But dumping his current agent and signing with the Satan? Are you kidding me? Scott Boras??? Great–The 437-page report that is the justification as to why Manny CAN play as long as Julio Franco–at about $30-40 million a year is being prepped as we speak… And the weirdest thing? From Boras: […]

Truly…has anyone checked for pods in Manny’s basement? Or proof of a robot or something? First he decides he loves it in Boston and wants the spend the rest of his career here (the same place he spent the 1st 6+ years on his contract trying to get out of it…) THEN, he arrives on […]

Seeing as Manny is ecstatically happy (for the moment) to be with the Sox, his arriving on time isn’t too much of a shock–I am more shocked by the whole “I am happy to be in Boston and want to retire here” stuff.. Just 1 year ago, he was threatening to boycott Spring Training, if […]

Now, the games can officially begin! David Ortiz was at camp yesterday, and spent some time in the best place for him–the batting cages…From the big man himself: “I feel good…Getting almost 100 percent…just keep doing my thing…We’ll see if we can win another World Series, that would be kind of fun.”
Still no word on […]

Ya know, it’s a very sad state of affairs when a situation like this happens like what is happening with Curt Schilling and the Sox with this whole injury thing…
Curt Schilling will always be an icon to Red Sox Nation for what he did in 2004–And you know damn well that Pedro Martinez, or any […]

My apologies for the Carpenter’s reference, but it seemed fitting for this weekend’s work that is going on in Florida. Yes, pitchers and catchers had their 1st group workout on Saturday, and will continue their work until they have to pack it up to go to Japan (in about 5 weeks) and then the season […]

1st day of baseball, 2008 style! Right now, in sunny Florida (while we here in Northeastern PA dig out of the 2″ of ice that is everywhere) the pitchers and catchers of the Boston Red Sox are assembling and getting ready for their total groups 1st workout, which will be held on Saturday morning…
And guess […]
