Word is that Kim will become the closer; possibly as of today…and that Mendoza will be in the rotation when he gets back. I really hope that is a temporary band-aid before making some kind of deal… 6/28/03
The Sox bullpen has pitched 13 1/3 innings without yielding an earned run after Brandon Lyon (two […]

Some spot on commentary from Todd Jones.
In Boston, there is a distinct line between the media and the players. To be honest, the media here is brutal. They are the most negative spin doctors I’ve run into. They make big deals out of nothing. One reporter goes in for an interview, and the next thing […]

I know one should expect the edge with the league’s best offense facing the league’s worst pitching…but that was ridiculous. Texas’ starter actually pitched pretty well, coming right at Manny and striking him out twice. But the story of the game is obviously Bill Mueller, who made history last night by hitting two […]

Huge night for the Sox…they get Williamson from the Reds, and EXPLODE vs. the Rangers…Mueller with 3 HR, including 2 grand slams…one from each side of the plate.
Side note; I never watch ESPN much anymore…but tonight they are doing Sportcenter behind the scenes live..and it is FACINATING. A good friend of mine edits over […]

Not really much to offer after an off day. Everyplace else has done to death Georgie-Porgie’s need to issue a ’statement’ yesterday. Cry after tying one series, say ‘no big deal’ after losing one. Whatever…
Fossum was sent down yesterday to prepare to start the Opening Day makeup next Friday. Or, some […]

As I lay my head on my pillow last night, content as can be, I was trying to remember the last time the Sox won a post All Star series from the Yanks. I was thinking it was probably the sweep in September of 99 that included the Pedro 17K masterpiece. Luckily for […]

…were thinking this in the bottom of the 9th?:
“OK. so Mueller goes to 2nd, Ortiz goes to 1st, and who goes to third? Millar? Or does Millar go to 2nd? Can Kapler play any infield? Ah, hell with it. Ortiz needs to just win it right here!”
Two thrilling games in […]

So it’s the 6th inning, the bases are loaded, there are 2 out, and the game is tied. The Yanks go to the time machine and roll out Jesse Orosco.

Do you let Johnny Damon bat? Or do you maybe bring a righty off the bench? If I know the splits, shouldn’t Grady?
Yes, […]

Oh, there you are! We’d missed you for a few weeks, nice to have you back.
Actually, if you want to get technical, from the game I saw, the Sox won 6-3. When I finally sat in my seat it was 11-2, and when I left, it was 14-8. What a nightmare I […]

Well, in what for a brief moment looked like a potential heartwrencher, the Sox won running away. For those that weren’t watching:
Sox were up 3-2, with 2 out. Trot stood on 2nd, and Giambi hit a wall ball. Trot didn’t exactly run full speed, but at the same time, Giambi was trying […]
