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 back [...]
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 [...]
October 16, 2008 – 1:16 pm 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 [...]
October 11, 2008 – 9:20 am 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 [...]
October 3, 2008 – 9:41 am Think about it…take away Jed Lowrie’s error that led to the Angel’s only run and the Red Sox played a practically perfect game 1. They executed the winning formula as it was scripted out. Jon Lester delivered an amazing 7 innings. Justin Masterson managed to wiggle his way thru the 8th and Paps shut the [...]
October 1, 2008 – 9:17 am No more fooling around… The defense of the 2007 World Series trophy truly begins with game 1 against Anaheim. This won’t be easy. But it can be done. The Sox have a team that can play with anyone, so it’s just a matter of executing the game plans. So how do they beat the Angels? [...]
In signal number 1,965 that Red Sox nation turned the corner from being glass half-empty types to glass half-full types, the Sox have lost 5 of 6 on the current road trip and the starting pitcher with the most wins on the best ERA on the team needs an MRI to check out his shoulder…BUT [...]
Ok guys. You just completed a fantastic homestand at the Fens. Jon Lester throws a no-hitter thats the feel good story in all of baseball so far this year. Justin Masterson had another great start. Start looking for an apartment in downtown Boston, Justin. Bartolo Colon returned the major leagues and got a W. Dice-K [...]
It was the Red Sox first game of 2008 in the U.S. and the home opener for Oakland. I had some great seats about 30 rows right behind home plate. Ellsbury takes the first pitch of the night Dice-K warming up Great night for baseball Papelbon in to close out a 2-1 Sox victory
March 30, 2008 – 11:04 am Is this the year Jon Lester makes the leap from prospect with potential to middle of the rotation major league starting pitcher? Let’s hope so. Because Jon Lester is the key to a dominant starting pitching staff in 2008. It would surprise no one if Josh Beckett wins the Cy Young. As for Dice-K… he [...]
