I thought of a lot of titles for this post. In the end “That was awesome!” was the best way to describe the 3 game spanking the Red Sox put on the Yankees this past weekend. Simply put, it was the best set of Sox-Yankees’ games (from a Sox fan perspective) since the comeback in [...]
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? [...]
Sox are fading. No doubt about it. Not having Papi around is most likely starting to catch up with them. The bullpen continues to suck. The Rays keep piling up the wins. And, of course, sending this team on the road never helps. So, here’s the glass half full approach to things Sox are home [...]
…the sox did it right. They received 6 innings of solid pitching from Justin Masterson. Manny Delcarmen and Craig Hansen took care of the middle relief. Even JD Drew stepped up his production. All of these elements would appear to be parts of the formula for success for Red Sox team without David Ortiz in [...]
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 [...]
Sox just designated Julian Tavarez for assignment. Most unique thing this means is chances of a pitcher rolling the ball to first place to get an out have pretty much dropped to zero. But it also means Sox are going to give Craig Hansen a serious shot. Most obvious thing to do with Sean Casey [...]
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 [...]
