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, [...]
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 [...]

“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 [...]
April 17, 2008 – 12:16 pm 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.
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. Here’s 5 [...]
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 are no longer [...]
I wasn’t at Opening Day yesterday but I did make it a point to watch the Buckner reaction and I’ve come away from it a little confused. We did he get a standing ovation? At first blush it’s because we need to let him know it’s alright. We honor him as a very good ballplayer [...]
Crundy and I were on chatting it up on instant messenger while the ring ceremony was taking place covering topics from Buckner to RBI Baseball to Neil Diamond and more. Here’s the transcript: Session Start (jaymansf:lifeafterdesk): Tue Apr 08 10:29:11 2008 [10:29] lifeafterdesk: that is funny [10:29] jayman SF: buckner? wtf? [10:30] lifeafterdesk: i think [...]
Since when is TBS showing a Sunday afternoon game? I didn’t even know the Sox were on TV! Sox look tired. Looks like all that traveling is catching up with them. I’m sure they can’t wait to get home. Especially Julio Lugo – who has made 3 errors today. Everytime I consider jumping on the [...]
