Take it from Bob Marley

“Dont’ worry. About a thing.‘Cuz every little thing gonna be alright”
- Bob Marley

Thanks to fantastic pitching performance from Jon Lester (and by the way, Roy Halladay, not Johan Santana, is the premier starting pitcher in baseball today) the Olde Towne Team ended their 5 game losing streak last night.  Being on the west coast, it’s [...]

10 Games with Ellsbury Leading off. Sox have won 9

In the ongoing debate about who should be the two hitters at the top of the lineup, we now have a 10 game sample to look at with Jacoby Ellsbury leading off for the Red Sox.  And the sox record in those games is 9-1.  While I’m not able to put my finger on it [...]

Yankees melodrama with Joba explains why Bucholz should stay a starting pitcher

I’ve been reading all about Hank Steinbrenner’s outbust that Joba Chamberlain should be a starting pitcher right now and Brian Cashman’s response.  All it has me thinking is that I’m glad the Sox aren’t toying around with Clay Bucholz.
Crundy and I actually disagree on this.  Crundy thinks Bucholz should be a bullpen setup guy if [...]

The Salad Days

“These were the happy days, the salad days as they say…” H. I. McDunnough.
“We need a Beckett, we don’t have one, and he’s the one that can do it.” Steinbrenner said.
This quote, the worry about the “cursed jersey”, I even heard Yankees fans chanting “Boston Sucks” during one of the games in NY last week…..
Talk [...]

Old Habits Die Hard

I just checked out the tag cloud on this site and apparently we’re still fixated with Buckner and the Yankees.  Despite winning two championships in the past 4 years, some things are just hard to let go of. 

5 “Recent” Feel Bad moments of the Sox/Yanks

It’s a rivalry because they made us feel badly. A lot. Here are some off the top of my head:
1. Knobloch’s Phantom tag in the 99 ALCS.
As hard as it is for me to say this the Sox were not the better team. We had Pedro and Nomar at their [...]

What is Jed Lowrie’s future role with the Red Sox?

Jed Lowrie mad the first start of his career vs. the Indians Tuesday night.  At third base.  Has me wondering what his future role with the Red Sox is.  Pretty clear the Pedroia is embedded at second for years to come.  Lugo has a couple more years at $10 million a year and Lowell is [...]

The Rivalry: 5 Great Moments

I meant to get this out at the end of last week, when the Yankees and Red Sox played their first series of the season. But it didn’t happen. But with a game Wednesday night, it makes sense to take some time and think about all the fantastic moments this rivalry has seen. [...]

Yet Another Curse

This is great. This is the kind of thing that used to happen to us. Not anymore. The great thing about this whole Ortiz shirt being buried under the new Yankee stadium thing is that spending all this time and money (after denying it ever happened) just shows the world the Yankees [...]
