In today’s Globe notebook, Lowe shows why he and others just don’t get the idea of the poorly nicknamed bullpen by committee.
“From the beginning I felt if you designated guys’ roles, then I think they’d be fine. I agree with you guys that guys go out there trying to prove that they should be the […]

So on a busy Easter Sunday, I only saw bits and pieces of the game…
At house 1; we couldn’t find NESN on DirecTV; when we did, it was already 1-0 Jays. Since I was in charge of chasing around the kid; I didn’t watch more than an at bat or 2, just glanced at […]

6 in a row; nice. That’s a few games in a row with nothing to complain about (most people, anyway..). Lowe battled to get through 5, Sheill went 3 strong, Fox pitched a good 9th.
Another ‘patchwork lineup’ manages to eek out 7 runs. Unfortunately, Millartha’s hit streak comes to an end, and […]

So Pedro says he’s not talking. As I’ve said before, I don’t care…
Tony Clark hit his 3rd HR for the Mest last night; a game winner in the 8th. Bastard. I supported his tall-ass well into June…do I get a little redemption if he tears it up this year?
Millartha vs. Godzilla (thanks […]

…just want to piss in my cornflakes…
Sox with a nice come from behind win…helps that the Jays pen just kind of came apart, eh?
Kind of annoying, though, as in the chat during the game I had to read
-Why is Jackson still hitting? Grady sucks! (Jackson with the sac bunt to start the big inning)
-Tolar? […]

Lots of talk in this morning’s recaps about how ‘angry’ Pedro was; and how he not only showed it on the field, but he didn’t give interviews after the game. Much speculation as to his feelings about the way his contract has beeen discussed, how booing fans have affected him, and how quiet he […]

That there really isn’t anything to complain about! Pedro goes 7 strong in frigid temps, Timlin with 2 more shutout innings for the save. Some questioned the wisdom of Belli in as DH; but hey, he hit a dinger! As did 2003’s best import from Japan, Kevin Millar(tha).(get it? Millartha? Mothra? […]

…I didn’t pull any hair out or kick any dogs last night!
Seriously; an all around “that’s the way it should be” performance. Timely hitting, good pen, there should be nothing to complain about. I’m sure some would whine about Millar not being in the lineup; but you can’t complain about Ortiz and Lil […]

And will the friggin Bruins get beat already???
Here I was; all excited for 2003 because I would get virtually every Sox game. Well, for the 3rd time this year, the Bruins screwed me last night. No game for me.
So I heard most of it on the radio; got home and had to ‘watch’ […]

…as a good bullpen performance? Considering Wakes is in the rotation…not to mention he made the hearts a-flutter in the 9th.
Lowe pretty much breezed through the game. Guess he really did find a problem in his mechanics, as he said after his last start. Manny 0-fer again; really not performing since I […]
