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 [...]

It’s a bummer that the World Series is starting tonight and our beloved Red Sox won’t be participating in it. I remember the last time the Sox came oh-so-close to the World Series. That was in 2003. In that game 7 vs. the Yankees, Grady Little had a panic attack and ultimately, Aaron Boone hit [...]

A thoroughly enjoyable Red Sox playoff game to take in. Depsite the fact that I couldn’t really take it in until the bottom of the first inning (with the Rays already in front 1-0) thanks to a totally ridiculous FAIL by TBS. Can we please just let Fox show these playoff games?
I can’t shake [...]

Honestly, how does one begin to write about Game 5. You need to see it. Actually, you need to have experienced it live as it was happening. You need to have hit rock bottom as a fan of the 2008 Boston Red Sox (for me, that was around the time Papelbon came in and gave [...]

There’s really not much to write about ALCS Game 4, unless I feel like writing about the Rays and I don’t.
In short, the Sox are not doing a single thing well on the baseball field. No pitching. No hitting. OK, they fielded the ball well. But that was when the ball wasn’t sent flying [...]

I can barely bring myself to write about yesterday’s game. It’s take my all day just to even start composing this. I’ve avoided sports web sites and boston.com all day. And now game 4 is a few hours away and here I am. Writing a blog post just to get all the negative thoughts out [...]

Did that game really happen last night? I’m still in disbelief. Did Dice-K really take a no-hitter into the 7th inning?
It just seems so unplausable to me. I’ll admit that midway through the first inning, when Dice-K was walking the bases loaded, I was thinking “Sox are destined to lose this one by 5 [...]

Let’s be honest. The Red Sox did not beat an Angels team playing at their best. Game 4 offered a lot of evidence to support that.
Howie Kendrick still looked totally overwhelmed by the moment
Bad baserunning by Torri Hunter
And the fatal blow, the failed squeeze play
I give Scoscia tons of credit for trying the squeeze play. [...]

Well, that game was a bummer. Did the Sox deserve to win that game? Probably not. Did the Angels deserve to lose it? Absolutely.
From Bad News Bears-esque fielding to baserunning blunders, the Angels looked for every way they could to lose this game. Why Howie Kendrick is still in the Angels lineup is bizarre to [...]

Not too much time to write, but a few thoughts looking back on Game 2 and ahead to Game 1
This was a game I thought we were destined to lose. For 4 innings or so, Dice-K was doing it right. Getting leadoff guys out and keeping Figgins off base in front of the heart of [...]
