It’s certainly not for the reason you’re expecting. It’s not because Ortiz is full of game winning drama night after night. This is, after all, the 2009 regular season. Not October 2004.
Quite honestly, Papi’s at bats in 2009 borderline on unwatchable. He’s looked awful. And that’s being kind about it. Red Sox fans filling [...]
I was just watching the Sox defeat Minnesota. In the 9th inning of that game, Joe Mauer hit a two run pinch hit home fun. His stats over 22 games are insane.
Avg: .438
HR: 10
RBI: 29
OBP: .525
As he’s rounding the bases after his homer, Dave Roberts comments “Is he the best [...]
Note: This is the 2nd in a year long series of posts on the 2009 Red Sox season. I’ll be taking a look at the team’s progress in 20 game increments throughout the year. The first edition is here.
After 40 games:
24 wins 16 losses 1.5 game out of first
When we look [...]
Dice-K is scheduled to be activated and pitch tonight against the Mets. Of course, that means that a pitcher needs to be sent down to the minors to make room for him. Who should that be?
There’s really two options. Hunter Jones or Daniel Bard
I think we’re all impressed with how Bard has performed in [...]
This morning Manny Ramirez was suspended 50 games for violating the MLB drug prevention policies after testing positive for banned substance.
The banned substance is reportedly a fertility drug of all things. Seriously, if it wasn’t Manny in this story, I wouldn’t believe. But with Manny… a fertility drug makes sense. The man is from another [...]
As much as I hate to dedicate an entire blog post to picking on the Red Sox archenemy, I’m going to because The Yankees are not just a team that is in some disarray, but they’re an organization that appears to be totally screwed up from top to bottom.
On the field
Their catcher just went on [...]

Note: This is the first in year long series of posts on the 2009 Red Sox season. I’ll be taking a look at the team’s progress in 20 game increments throughout the year.

After a 2-6 start out of [...]
I thought of a lot of titles for this post. In the end “That was awesome!” was the best way to describe the 3 game spanking the Red Sox put on the Yankees this past weekend. Simply put, it was the best set of Sox-Yankees’ games (from a Sox fan perspective) since the comeback in [...]
Four hours, 21 minutes. Eleven innings. Just another typical battle between the Red Sox and Yankees. There’s 17 more of these to go this year? To be honest, it will be hard for another 2009 game between these teams to be better than last night’s game. In fact, we’re only at game 16, but there [...]
With the Yankees and Red Sox facing off for the first time this evening, now seems like a good time to reflect to put a nail in the coffin of any discussion regarding the winter hot stove season.
Why now? Because this will be the first time the Sox play the Yankees with Mark Teixeira [...]
