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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve got so many thoughts on this. Working on a longer post. But for now, here’s video of JD Drew’s 9th inning AB.

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 [...]

Timlin? Did Mike Timlin seriously make an appearance in the 11th inning of a tie playoff game? WTF, Francona?????
As much as I was in disbelief over Dice-K’s dominating game 1 performance, I’m in disbelief that Francona brought in Mike Timlin in the top of the 11th of Game 2. Hell, I’m even surprised that Timlin [...]

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 [...]

I actually don’t dive into stats very much, but a couple have jumped out at me while I’ve been surfing the web and thinking this series.
Total runs scored: In head-to-head matchups, the Rays won 10 of 18 games, but the Red Sox scored 20 more total runs than Tampa in those games. Rays won 6 [...]
