    Book Review: Major League Dads:
    Baseball’s Best Players Reflect on the Fathers
    Who Inspired Them to Love the Game

    by Kevin Neary and Leigh A. Tobin When I was a young girl, I played Little League softball for 4 years, playing a variety of positions, and even making the All-Star team one year. And while my dad wasn’t my formal coach, (he and my mom did sponsor my team one year, though), many hours [...]

    Red Sox 4, Kansas City 6:
    Can’t even beat the crappy teams…

    Remember when the Sox had pitchers like Curt Schilling, and Pedro, and even Josh Beckett a couple of year ago? These were pitchers that, when they came up in the rotation, you always expected them to win, and when they didn’t, you were shocked. The Boston Red Sox don’t have ANY of those pitchers anymore.

    Book Review: Extra Innings

    There has been a ongoing debate about what would Ted Williams’ stats have been like if he hadn’t went to war during the prime of his career–would he have bettered his still untouched .406 batting average?

Let’s play THIRTY-NINE Innings, totally trash and decimate our bullpen, which has actually been doing ok, considering most of our starters can’t seem to get to the [...]

    Red Sox 2, Oakland 4:
    Struggling to .500…

    How sad is it, that, despite a 6-game win streak ON THE ROAD, and then actually being AT HOME, where, I don’t know, the Sox are supposed to be BETTER, that they cannot seem to beat Oakland, who is batting .214 as a team? OK, who had May 2nd in the Kevin Youkilis Injury Pool…I [...]

    Book Review: Third Base for Life:
    A Memoir of Fathers, Sons, and Baseball
    By Joshua L. Berkowitz

    As a fan of the Boston Red Sox, and of baseball in general, the goal is always to win.  Its first, last and everything in between. Nothing else matters… But what about when there is something is more important than winning? What about overcoming your fears for yourself and your children, to bring something wonderful [...]
