Four hours, 21 minutes. Eleven innings. Just another typical battle between the Red Sox and Yankees. There’s 17 more of these to go this year? To be honest, it will be hard for another 2009 game between these teams to be better than last night’s game. In fact, we’re only at game 16, but there [...]
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 14, 2008 – 2:35 pm 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 [...]
October 6, 2008 – 11:30 am 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 [...]
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? [...]
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 [...]
There are so many ways of thinking about Jon Lester’s no hitter against the Royals last night. Most obvious is the angle of the cancer comeback. And if Lester’s World Series game 4 didn’t do it, his no-no must certainly label that comeback officially complete. Let this be the last time that the phrase “Jon [...]
The season is 40 games in. One quarter of the season is now behind us, giving us a large enough sample size to think about how to tweek the roster in order to solidify the Sox as the 2008 team to beat. Certainly, there’s nothing I’ve seen in the first 40 games that says “hit [...]
“Dont’ worry. About a thing.‘Cuz every little thing gonna be alright” – Bob Marley Thanks to fantastic pitching performance from Jon Lester (and by the way, Roy Halladay, not Johan Santana, is the premier starting pitcher in baseball today) the Olde Towne Team ended their 5 game losing streak last night. Being on the west [...]
