What the heck just happened? Last weekend, Sox starters were kicking butt and taking names, this weekend, it’s a Mongolian cluster, where far too many hits, walks and homers were given up…
Ironically enough, the offense, hitting at a .293 pace as a team, isn’t at fault here–it’s the fact that now pitchers cannot hold leads […]

Red Sox fans are very lucky–not every team has a pitcher who, when he steps on the mound, makes you feel there is no way he could lose…The Sox had that in Pedro Martinez, and in Curt Schilling. And once again, the Sox have that elusive TRUE ace–in Josh Beckett. Every time he pitches, I […]

CAUTION: Rant in Progress…
As I was watching bits a pieces of last night’s game, and the Sox overcame some pretty awful pitching by Clay Buchholz (4.1P, giving up 5 runs on 10 hits, while walking 1 and striking out 6) and Julian Tavarez (1 IP, giving up 3 runs on 4 hits, while walking and […]

While last night’s victory was #5 in a row for the Sox–it the #5 loss in a row for the Tigers…Wow…Detroit reallyREALLY sucks this year–Everyone thought that with all the money they spent and the talent they stockpiled that they were pretty much a shoo-in to get to the Postseason. Haven’t the Skanks been […]

There are a million and one clichés to describe the sweep of the Satan Fish (oh, I’m sorry, they are the “Rays of Sunshine” now–could that possibly ANY lamer? They must have a 6 year old heading their Marketing Department) but my favorite is above: “Before you judge, walk a mile in someone’s shoes. Then […]

Who exactly said that pitching wins games?? The Sox definitely have the pitching–it’s the hitting that in deep crap right now….
Do you know who many runs the Sox have scored in the last 3 games? TWO… and in the last week? SEVEN–that’s right, seven runs in the last 6 games, including being shut out twice […]

If the list of injured players for the Sox doesn’t slow down quick, it’s going to be a very VERY long season…
Last night, when Tito brought in Jed Lowrie to pinch run for David Ortiz in the bottom of the 9th, it was a good thing the game was over in that inning, because the […]

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 […]
