I’m on vacation for the next week; so front page Sox comments will come from Hoss and Fanatic (I hope!). Anyway; it appears that as the day went on, others had the same questions I did regarding yesterday’s ‘rainout’.
NY Times Article
NEW YORK (AP) — General manager Brian Cashman said it was “hogwash” that the […]

I believe I heard during the game that the Sox were something like 3-17 in games where they score 5 or less. Well; it’s nice to see a fourth.
And even more rare:
And the Red Sox won despite being outhit, 9-3. The last time they won a game with three hits or fewer was April […]

Boo friggin hoo, Dauber…
”It was tough,” Daubach said. ”I didn’t think it was going to be this tough facing my old friends . . . To tell you the truth, I’m ready for this series to be over already.” Hohler
And I love how there are a ton of articles this morning playing up ‘Poor Brian […]

So who else was ready to cut ties with Burkett after 4 straight doubles? Lord knows I was.
”Coming in tonight,” he said after his improbable 7-4 conquest of the White Sox and ace Bartolo Colon last night, ”people probably figured we were going to lose. And after the first inning, they definitely thought we […]

Using Rupe on 2 days rest after pitching 100+ just wasn’t smart. Why not Burkett?
I missed most of the game; but I did see that part…

What else can you ask for? Quality start by BK Kim. 8 scoreless innings from the pen. A Grady ejection. Capping off a sweep by winning their 10th game of the year in their final at-bat. We know the sox can score runs, but it’s nice to see them do […]

Clemens says he’ll skip his induction ceremony if not inducted as a New York Yankee. That makes me absolutely sick. Over the past couple of months, I had softened my stance on Clemens; but this puts me right back at square one. Personally, I think the Hall should put him in with […]

Did we just see Sanchez’ breakout game? And with the glove, not the bat? Not to mention he’s the 2ND baseman of the future, and he’s making those plays at 3RD..
By the way; after an awful April that led many to question why he was signed in the first place; David Ortiz is […]

To help fix the rotation?
Rupe looked good; the game all around was blessed with good pitching by the Sox. Shades of the 2002 offense showed up, though, as they seemed to strand a small army on base. Errors were tough what with the field conditions…
Lowe today, off of a few consecutive good starts. […]

Tons to talk about after this one, so I’ll just stick with the three top things that jump to mind:
1) Personally, I’ve had enough of seeing the offense gutting out heroic comebacks or putting crooked numbers on the board and then turning around and watching the butane bullpen make like it’s Halloween and […]
