I haven’t looked at the recaps, or the statistics, or anything. What a nightmare of a night. Pedro got spanked; Cubbage goes down (I guess he’s fine now), Ortiz finally hits the ball when it doesn’t matter.
What has gotten into Damon as of late? Another jack last night; and robbed of one […]

I watched the opening ceremonies yesterday; man, did it look miserable there. And man, did Lou Rawls suck.
Day/Night doubleheader today; could be a long day for the local 9. Don’t think rain is supposed to stop until 3 or 4, last I checked.
Apparantly Embree is hurt, and a young lefty will take his […]

Finally! The long road trip is over…I can’t comment much on the game, as I watched it out of the corner of my eye while playing cards last night. Althought I couldn’t believe when I looked up in the 7th and still saw a Sox starter in there.
Mike Timlin might become Mr. Quote […]

…that I forgot to mention…
Since I haven’t seen it brought up anywhere else…
It was noted during the game chat last night; and later verified (after the GS) that Mendoza was given basically 2 minutes to warm up. Would a couple of visits to the mound have hurt?

Until the game is over.
Manny got his first dinger of the year.
Well, my mother always said if you didn’t have anything nice to say, then don’t…aww, crud, you get the idea.

That I don’t know what to think…
I’m not one to jump all over a baseball manager for his decisions; because I don’t pretend to know more than people whose whole career has been baseball. But I do think I know enough to have some valid questions (and start to see the point that some […]

Unconfirmed by me; but according to this thread on SoSH, WEEI announced the Sox picked up Pedro’s 2004 option, and will work on a LT deal after the season. Nice.

Nice to smack around a pitcher who has given you trouble in the past like the Sox did yesterday. Young Master Hillenbrand continues to tear it up, and is currently on pace for 347 RBI.
Am I the only one that has noticed that Shea never shuts his mouth? That’s why I refer to […]

Did I already use that as a header? Well, it warrants using again.
Ugh.
Pedro has allowed 1 ER in 15 innings, and he is 0-0. Pathetic.
Before all the blame gets laid on Chad Fox (who definitely deserves some of it), let’s not forget that the Sox didn’t score any runs in the first 8 […]

Jeeezzz…talk about a first week of white-knucklers! Sox cruising to an easy victory, but the pen (specifically Mendoza) makes it a little close for comfort. Fantastic play to end the game; I just wish it wasn’t necessary….
Not sure I understand why Mendoza was even in there…
Well, no game on TV for me today; […]
