By all means, the Sox should have lost this game. Bases loaded 4 times; coudn’t do anything until the 4th time in the bottom of the 9th.
Except for the (mostly) quiet bats; a lot of good things out of this game. Lowe looked good this time, Mendoza looked good in his first inning […]

…I think.
So the Sox finally meet up with a team that is playing well, and pretty much manhandle them. I only heard bits and pieces on the radio, and then saw the last inning when I got home.
Last night we all went to the Rock Cats game…if you have a nice minor league facility […]

So thanks to the Sox and other circumstances, I have been up past midnight for 6 consecutive nights. For me, this is unheard of; as I am usually in bed around 10:00 or whenever the Sox game is over; whatever comes later.
Not going to bother with links about stories about players who do or […]

…but at least 2 nights it was worth staying up past midnight….

Well, at least he was last night. Solid, at least. Anybody else have much different expectations after the first inning? He settled down nicely, and might have even been able to go a little longer. Great step forward.
Of course, the Sox had to keep it interesting; keeping me up until 1 […]

So I didn’t even read the game recap in the Courant this morning; I skipped right to the notes. Seems things are getting ugly between the Sox and the (Boston) media. And I can’t say that I blame them. Pedro says one little offhand joke on Wednesday, and it is mockingly in […]

And even stupider is that I stayed up for most of it. I didn’t go to bed until after the Sox didn’t score in the 8th…I figured at that point, I’d rather go to bed before midnight and possibly wake up to a surprise rather than stay up another 20 minutes and go […]

Yes, Pedro got the W. Yes, he didn’t allow any earned runs. But something was just a tad off…6 walks? I didn’t sit down to watch until around the 4th or 5th inning, but I did get a couple of glimpses before that; looked to me like a tough strike zone. […]

…but they made it closer than anybody was thinking it would be when it was 7-0. Didn’t see or hear the game, had to follow it online…so I guess I don’t really have much to say about that. Heard that the Sox got jobbed in their one big inning; might have cost them […]
