Who would have thunk that Jon Lester, whose last couple of starts have been less that stellar, would throw 8 innings of 2-HIT ball, going head to head with Blue Jay ace (and most excellent veteran pitcher) Roy Halladay…in a game that lasted an amazing 2 hours and 18 minutes–wish we could have one of […]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record: Are you freakin KIDDING me???
It’s bad enough the Sox have now lost 5 in a row–But the last 3 were to Tampa Bay….and two of those games were pitched brilliantly by the starter:
Clay Buchholtz (Saturday Night): 8IP (A complete game, no less…), with 3 hits, 2 […]

What…A…Freakin…Waste…
Justin Masterson comes up from AA Portland to cover for all of the ailing starters, giving WAY more that he was ever expected to give: 6 brilliant innings of 1-run ball, only giving up 2 hits (including a solo home run) while walking 4 and striking out 4–and what happens? The wheels completely […]

I mean, really, has no one ever heard of the flu shot? I get one every year, and it manages to keep me reasonable healthy…
For the 2nd night in a row, a Red Sox starter is a late scratch because of the nefarious bug that is going around, so Jon Lester, who hasn’t been super […]

After being felled (hopefully its just the flu–and not something worse) by the same flu that is running its way through the Red Sox Clubhouse, Josh Beckett was a scratch from his start last night, so the Sox called up Dave Pauley for an emergency spot start–and while he didn’t get enough innings for the […]

OK, I have to admit–On Monday morning, when I was putting the little red dots on my calendar for the weekend, (red dots for wins, black for losses) I got a little carried away and put a red dot on this game–despite the fact that it wasn’t even going to be played for another 3 […]

It was the game that broke many generations of Red Sox hearts, the game that gave Bucky &*$&#@#&$* Dent the middle name (and notoriety) that will stay with him forever, and the game that probably defined a bitter rivalry better than any other game in history…
We all know the date–Red Sox and Yankee fans alike: […]

Since I was unable to contact the Week #3 winner, and there was no winner for Week #4–I will be donating both of those copies of PS3’s MLB08 The Show to the Dana Farber Cancer Institute, as the winners of the previous weeks have.
This is it–The LAST week you can win a copy of PS3’s […]

What a great weekend for Red Sox baseball–and its most excellent to see that, time and time again, the Sox managed to get it done–hopefully that will be a pervading theme throughout the 2008 campaign…yesterdays come from behind victory was the 5th in their last 6 wins–and they have won 8 or their last 9 […]

Josh Beckett and Manny Ramirez–two guys who, individually, are completely capable of putting a team on their back and carrying them for a period of time. Last night, they shared the burden–Josh pitched his heart out, going 8 strong (and saving a severely depleted bullpen) throwing 105 pitches (69 for strikes) and only giving up […]
