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

April 16, 2008 – 7:53 pm

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?

April 16, 2008 – 4:10 pm

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

April 15, 2008 – 9:22 pm

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

April 13, 2008 – 3:24 pm

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 [...]

Justin Masterson’s 2008 Impact?

April 11, 2008 – 10:29 am

Was just listening to ESPN radio and heard a bit about Justin Masterson from Peter Gammons.  Apparently, Masterson has made a couple starts in Pawtucket and still has not allowed a ball to be hit in the air.  Will Justin Masterson have the same mid season impact on the Red Sox that Joba Chamberlain had [...]

Last Night’s Game Turned Into a Bullpen Audition

April 10, 2008 – 8:25 am

With the sox trailing in late innings last night and Timlin ready to be activated, last night’s appeared to be one last chance to let some relief pitchers submit resumes to stay on the staff.
Bryan Corey … thanks for playing with us for a couple weeks.  Expect a consolation prize (a 2008 World Series ring) [...]
