4/30: Red Sox/Blue Jays 2008-04-30 21:25:48 Deja Vu. Sox got the win tonight on ANOTHER walk off RBI single, this time coming by way of Jason Varitek. David Ortiz also chipped in earlier in the game with a solo home run. 2-1, Sox win. As always the full game recap tomorrow morning. Read more:Red Sox

Jays, Rays and Automobiles 2008-05-02 06:13:34 I must admit that I’m finally hitting my stride with the Red Sox. The hangover from the Super Bowl loss has faded, the general disgust of the inept Bruins is gone, I’m still riding with the Celtics; but it’s May — the April rust has fallen off and I’m starting to overreact to games.

A pair of two run home runs from Lowell and Youkilis pretty much sent the Red Sox
to the victory. Marcus Thames closed the gap in the 7th inning, but Ortiz hit a solo shot in the 9th the wrap it all up. Paps gets the save, Daisuke gets [...] Read more:Tigers
5/12: Twins/Red Sox 2008-05-12 20:03:25 This trip to Minnesota has been a pretty annoying one. A blown save, a solo home run fest, a one run loss, and tonight. The Sox score three in the top of the first, great start. It’s now in the top of the fifth and we’re losing 4-3.

Alright Already. 2008-05-16 06:24:42 Alright. Tampa Bay is a nice story. A new year, new colors, new logo, a grip full of young exciting talent. A game up on the Sox, everything is lovely. Believe me, I want the East to be more competitive. I want it to be the best division in baseball [...] Read more:Alright
Sweep. 2008-05-18 17:44:06 Certain games are looked back upon as the “jump start” to a teams ‘true’ selfs. This SHOULD be that game for the Red Sox. Both teams were knocking the ball around, but the Red Sox were never in any threat of not winning this game. Too much firepower.
Beckett wasn’t astounding. Actually he was pretty [...] Read more:Sweep
Interleague is lovely. 2008-05-18 06:56:21 The Red Sox are good when it comes to interleague play, the 2008 version is starting off the same way. 1 game out of sweeping the Brewers right out of town.

The Sox got out early, Wakefield pitched well relatively speaking but Mr. Hansen again decided to see if he could give it away:

Just got my case of beer. Ready for the ballgame.
Let’s Play Two. 2008-05-17 15:11:09 Rain out last night. Double header today. And from the looks of the broadcast on FOX, it looks to be a perfect day to have on.

Game 47: Royals/Red Sox - Perfection 2008-05-19 20:52:02 All that needs to be said for tonights game was perfection. Jon Lester, one of the most popular Red Sox

held on for an 11-8 win.

I don’t like the Oakland A’s. I don’t like when the Red Sox
play the Oakland A’s (except in the playoffs of course). It pretty much stems from the typical “east coast bias” where I want my ballgame on at 7pm ET during the week, or 1pm ET on the weekend. [...] Read more:Athletics

Annoying. 2008-05-28 09:32:52 That is how I’d describe last nights game. Tiresome would also fit. But annoying would have to be it.
From Daisuke leaving with an “apparent hip injury”, as was first reported. Which later was clarified by Red Sox spokesman Henry Mahegan as “shoulder fatigue”. So now all that is left to do is wait. Wait to see [...] Read more:Annoying
“Experienced” v Just Plain Old 2008-05-29 18:23:37 The Sox went 1-5 on this west coast trip. Against two, let’s be honest, pretty mediocre teams. But that has been the Red Sox this season. Nothing really to write home about. Whether it be due to injury, a general lack of strong pitching depth, Julio Lugo… you take your pick. [...] Read more:Plain

No title 2008-06-01 12:50:39 Manny Ramirez hit his 500th career home run last night. The home run took place at the Red Sox’ home away from home, Oriole Park at Camden Yards. The home run came in the seventh inning. I personally would have LOVED to have seen it live, but since I live in the [...]

learned yesterday he has tendon sheath damage that will keep him sidelined indefinitely. According to a source, Ortiz’ wrist will be immobilized for roughly the [...]

Things are starting to look a little stable in the AL East. The Red Sox are a game and a half up on the Rays and as playing good baseball right now. 8-2 in their last ten games, and even more impressive is the fact that the Red Sox have a home record [...]
Red Sox | Phillies 2008-06-16 17:09:37 Damn have I been in a funk these past few weeks. I honestly have no paid one second of attention to the Sox for a while. And anything I have seen has been strictly in the form of ESPN highlights. But hopefully it is understandable as I’m still coping with/celebrating the news [...] Read more:Red Sox
