Mr 500 2008-06-01 12:59:02 The way the crowd reacted, you’d have thought Manny had hit #500 at Fenway Park. Throughout the whole game it was hard to tell if there were many Oriole fans there.
Manny, as he has done many times in the past, meandered around the plate to enjoy the moment and the majestic flight of the ball [...]
Instant Replay 2008-05-28 08:04:58 We’ve all seen it.
A game where there was a close play and instant replay showed that the umpire got it wrong? Whether you saw it on TV or live at the game, it seems more prevalant nowadays than ever. Maybe because we’re paying closer attention. In the past week alone, I’ve seen 2 homeruns called [...]
I Like Rick But… 2008-05-25 12:33:26 I’m all for a player spending his entire career with a team and am sometimes shocked at the players who’ve moved on. (Johnny Damon comes to mind) But with all due respect to Mrs. Wakefield, both his wife and his Mom, the Red Sox are doing no one any favors by holding onto the knuckleballer. [...]
Clemens’ Legacy Tainted? Part 2 2008-05-25 12:27:22 It appears that whether or not Roger Clemens
has used steroids will be shrouded in mystery, at least for now. With accusations but no real proof on either side. But his reputation has suffered mightily, perhaps because his difficult behavior in the past earned him a reputaion, and now it’s suffering again: the devoted husband, [...] Read more:Legacy

High Fives From Manny 2008-05-15 08:18:45 While I’m not a big fan of his hot-dogging, I did find it very entertaining yesterday when Manny
not only caught up to a fly ball that no one thought he could reach, but made the completely outstretched, over the shoulder catch. For an encore, while his momentum carried him into the left field padded [...]
Lugo Hanging By A Thread 2008-05-10 06:05:41 Julio Lugo has to be looking over his shoulder…
With every game he comes a little closer to sitting out a dance or two. Francona has to be at least considering it. I personally like Lugo - I thinks he tries hard…too hard maybe. But it seems he’s getting worse. Maybe Francona has more patience than [...] Read more:Hanging

Beckett Says Thank Youkilis! 2008-05-09 06:30:51 We knew (we hoped) the Sox could bounce back from last night’s kick in the pants and with Beckett
on the mound, our chances were pretty good. The Tigers have struggled and would have been swept had it not been for the dumb luck and miscues of yesterday.
Indeed, from the second inning on, Beckett had [...] Read more:Thank
An excuse-me swing and a broken bat spell the end 2008-05-08 17:15:13 It started harmlessly enough. An excuse me swing
from Matt Joyce, a recent Triple A callup, on a scary splitter from Papplebon and it dribbles into no-mans land. Ok, so we can recover from that. But it turns out that was part of the problem. Renteria spits out a little league grounder to short and [...] Read more:spell
One More Week… 2008-05-07 16:10:24 I saw where Jordan’s Furniture is extending their Monster Sweep another week. Yeah, it was really cool…right there, during the Jordan’s commercial, Jerry Remy himself called Elliot and requested he extend it another week! How nice was that?
I don’t know for sure but I’m guessing maybe the promotion isn’t going as well as they thought [...]
Help Wanted 2008-06-07 06:30:10 If they’re not careful, the Red Sox will have to take out an ad in the Boston Globe:
Help Wanted
-Experience preferred
-Must be willing to travel
-Weekends and nights.
Yes, the injury bug has hit the team - and hard - and Francona is juggling faster and harder than a sideshow act at a Ringling Brothers Circus to put [...]
Jacoby And Pedroia Go Deep 2008-06-15 17:47:36 When the big cats away (Ramirez, Ortiz), the mice (Pedroia, Ellsbury) will play!
Ortiz Improving 2008-06-16 19:58:28 Things look good for David Ortiz
this week. The cast was removed and replaced with a splint. According to Francona, he’ll begin range of motion exercises soon. With any luck (and a lot of determination), David will avoid surgery and maybe be back within a few weeks. Red Sox Nation will breath a huge [...]
Francona Leaves Bases Loaded 2008-07-05 18:43:35 Francona refuses gift from Rivera
I have a lot of respect for the baseball savvy of Francona but his apparent loyalty to catcher Jason Varitek cost the Red Sox the game Saturday.
For some reason, Mariano Rivera likes to make things interesting when playing the Sox. He loaded the bases with nobody out in the ninth and [...] Read more:Loaded

Varitek’s Red Sox Days Numbered? 2008-11-01 06:00:32 According to the Red Sox
website: Jason Varitek has filed for free agency this week. He may be wanting a leg up in what's probably going to be a disappointing negotiations session. He'll need all the help he can get if he's planning on sticking around another season carrying a whiffle ball bat.
Rays Can’t Finish The Deal 2008-10-31 06:00:02 As good as the Tampa Bay Rays looked during a majority of the games against the Red Sox in the ALCS it was almost a complete role reversal in the World Series.
Poor fielding, mental errors, missed opportunities, low slugging percentage and questionable management decisions plagued the young franchise throughout the series. Why pinch hit for [...] Read more:Finish
Can The Patriots Go All The Way? 2008-10-30 06:00:40 With the mounting injuries to key players on the New England Patriots
roster, will they be able to not only survive the NFL season but go on to win Superbowl XLIII? As I feared (and mentioned in an earlier article), the league will be gunning for the Patriots this season. It doesn't matter that they lost in the Super Bowl to the New York Giants...
Do Or Die For The Rays 2008-10-29 11:45:38 For the most part, when the Rays played the Sox, they looked like a team that would go all the way. At times they made the Boston Boys look like an inferior team. With the exception of a couple key errors they were running (and hitting) on all cylinders and took advantage of Boston’s inability [...]
A Long Cold Winter For The Sox 2008-10-25 06:00:43 For the ailing, it will be a time to heal. For the tired, a time to rest. The long grind that is the Major League season has come to an end for the Fenway faithful and it’s another team’s turn to shine on the big stage.
The Sox gave their all (and then some) this [...]
