While I know a bit more than I did this time last year with regard to the world of sports betting and online- gaming–there is still a TON of info I have no idea about. So I went back to the trusty Ask and this time I got 11,640,000 hits, which is a little less [...]

Ya know…it always seems to happen–the Sox let a player go, and it comes back to bite them on the ass…Sometimes its a good thing that they let the player go (Carl Everett, et al) but in others, not so much–like Mark Loretta for example…
And unfortunately, Okajima cannot manage to get his groove back, throwing [...]

Note: I have been traveling to the Phillipines since Sunday morning, which is the reason for the delay on this…
******************************************
After the bats took a vacation on Friday night, it was nice to see that Youk, in his 1st hometown start, was able to help the Sox win with a homer in the 10th inning. From [...]

…Tell them YES….
Holy Buckets! My 1st Red Sox game at Fenway since 2005, and I could not have asked for a better game! While my seats were a bit obstructed (I could see home plate, but I had to lean to see the pitchers mound) I did not miss a second of Mike Lowell’s 5th [...]

Holy Buckets! WHAT just happened here????
Josh Beckett, not throwing the best game of his life (IP, giving up 4 runs and 8 hits while striking out 3 and walking 1) but certainly good enough to win–Until Okajima stepped in. He has pitched 5 1/3 innings against Baltimore this year–and has allowed eight runs (or an [...]

And 26-6 at home…Not quite the 40 and 17 the Sox had back in 2002, but we all know how THAT ended–missing the playoffs totally, so at this point, I am more than happy with this record, for a ton of reasons…
Despite the fact that everyone and their brother has been injured (some more than [...]

Another start, another 6 innings, another GREAT outing. Justin Masterson makes a very compelling case to be able to stay with the big club, Unfortunately, there really isn’t any else that can take the demotion, either because the Sox are paying them too much, or they are out of options….and this kid needs to pitch, [...]
