    Red Sox 9, Skankees 15:
    Well, THAT was a Butt-Ugly Game…

    Only got to see bits and pieces of this game–and that was probably a good thing–I think if I had to see Mike Timlin give up FOUR RUNS IN THE 8TH INNING I probably would have thrown something at the TV…Did you know his ERA is now a bountiful 27.00??? And no one is thinking [...]

    Red Sox 5, Cleveland 3:
    That would be 4 in a row…

    Of course, he is a hero every day of the week, being one of (if not THE) best catcher in the game, but last night, the role of game saver did not go to big hitter Manny Ramirez or David Ortiz–but to Jason Varitek. His pinch-hit solo shot in the 9th inning broke the tie [...]

    Red Sox 6, Cleveland 4:
    Not the way I thought THIS was going to End…

    Did not get a chance to watch this game–and isn’t that always the way? The ones I watch every minute of never have an ending like this! Manny Ramirez once again put the Sox on his back and hit homer # 493–a 2 run shot that brought the Sox a 9th inning victory in Cleveland.
    And, [...]

    Red Sox 8, Skanks 5:
    2 out of 3? Definitely Not Bad!

    Whoo Hoo! While I would have like to swept the Skanks–2 out of 3 is fricken fantastic!
    But, I made it as far as the 7th inning before I fell asleep–8:00pm games when the Sox play the Skanks end up being as bad as NightNIGHT games on the left coast…this one was just shy of [...]

    Red Sox 12, Tigers 6:
    Winning another Series…

    This felt like a closer game than it was, especially in the 8th inning when Julian Tavarez was on the mound, there were no outs, the bases were loaded the score was 8-5 (2 runs had already scored) and freakin Gary Sheffield and his constantly waving bat were at the plate…at that point I had [...]

    Red Sox 2, Tigers 7:
    A complete 180…

    Well, at least the Tigers won their 1st game–of the season…I just wish they waited a couple more days to it…
    Unfortunately, this was one of those games that just went from bad to worse…Mike Lowell sprains his left thumb in the 2nd inning. Fortunately, the X-rays show up negative for any kind of break or [...]

    PlayStation’s MLB 08 The Show:
    As close as we can get…

    When I was young, I was part of the generation who saw the 1st video games–and I was a junkie: Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Ms Pac-Man, Centipede and my personal favorite: Tetris were all games I would go to the arcade to play for hours–or at least until my quarters ran out. Yes, video games were [...]

    Red Sox 5, Tigers 0:
    Now THAT is the way to kick off a Home Opener!

    Holy…Buckets!!! BILL BUCKNER??? How on earth did the Sox manage to get Bill Buckner to come back to Fenway??! Since I did not get to watch it live (^#*@^#&@^*#) I already knew that Buckner was throwing out the 1st pitch, but that in no way diminished the impact seeing him walk on the field and [...]

    Happy Ring Day!

    In just over an hour (whomever decided to have the ring ceremony on at 1:15 pm during the week should be left naked outside of Yankee Stadium–only wearing a Red Sox hat..) the Red Sox will get their 2007 World Series rings and play their 1st game at home to kick off the 2008 campaign [...]

    Red Sox 4, Toronto 7:
    Well, THAT was awful…

    OK, am I the ONLY one who saw Manny Delcarmen giving up that Grand Slam to the Big Hurt coming from about 15 miles away? It was just one of those cosmic absolutes–you KNEW that the pitch was coming–a fast ball over the heart of the plate to give Frank Thomas the pitch he needed [...]
