Holy Buckets! What a FUN game that was last night! A rout, when you are on the giving end, is always fun, but when it’s the Skanks on the receiving end… And one of the best things about beating the Skanks? Is their commentators, who usually fall all over themselves going on about the Skanks, [...]

I am just SO GLAD the Sox FINALLY did what they should have done about 4-5 loses ago–demoted Clay Buchholz to the minors–to Double A Portland no less. His record with the Sox for the 2008 Campaign? 2-9–with a 6.75 ERA…UGH… This line: 2 1/3 IP, giving up 5 Runs on 3 hits while walking [...]
