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 [...]
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 [...]

On May 5, 2007, I sent an email to Crundy. The entire contents of which were as follows
I think Dustin is finished. Cora is playing too good to sit on bench
At the time, Dustin Pedroia was hitting something like .210. This followed up a late 2006 callup performance where he showed …well, not too much [...]

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 [...]

In the wake of the Angels acquiring Mark Teixeira from Atlanta (great move for the Angels, btw) and the Yankees making upgrads to their team with Nady, Marte, and Pudge Rodriguez…I’m wondering about past world series winners and the correlation between a trade deadline deal and winning the World Series.
Certainly, the Red Sox title years [...]
My original title for this post was “The Manny Situation”. But Manny seems like the name of a guy that you would be buddies with. He’s the guy you call to meet you in a downtown bar when you get off work early on a Friday. On the Red Sox, Manny would be the borderline [...]
We interrupt the regularly scheduled Red Sox obsessions you can normally find out here to talk a little NBA. Since Crundy just sent me an email basically asking “Is Baron Davis worth a 5 year $65 million contract? The answer is no.
At least not for the Warriors and about 20 other teams
Mind you, I think [...]
Good grief. I can’t believe I just typed that headline. In this recent article on espn.com, it turns out that Pete Rose and Alex Rodriguez have become friends by sending each other text messages.
OK, maybe I can believe this. Those two guys - for some reason I can’t put my finger on - seem [...]
