Soooo…Pedro vs. Pettite…one would expect a low scoring, well pitched game, no? A 3 spot in the first off of Pettite? PLENTY of runs for Pedro, I’m assuming? And if Rivera was summoned to get 4 outs, it would mean no chance for the Sox, right?
10-7 final, Pedro not sharp, and neither […]

Apparantly not. Quick and dirty again today, as I’m on my way out the door to the opening game at UConn’s new Rentschler field. Hopefully, I’ll be able to pull in the Springfield Sox station, as I’m pretty sure that 1080 is doing the football game, and God knows I don’t want to […]

Go read this excellent article by David Halberstam.
Yanks in town for the holiday weekend…

Facing 17 game winner and Cy Young candidate Roy Halliday, the Sox looked like they could be in a wee bit of trouble down 3-0 early. Burkett’s only real mistake was a bomb given up to Carlos Delgado…and it is tough to get down on a guy for giving up a dinger to one […]

Tough game for Wakes. He got knocked around early and often, leaving the game down 7-1. And as you probably know by now, the Sox actually tied it at 7, only to give back a 5 spot in the next inning.
Hopefully not lost in this somewhat demoralizing loss (and it isn’t the first […]

14 games vs. the vaunted AL West…final record, 8-6. That’s not to shabby.
Pedro was clearly not 100%, but less than 100% of Pedro is still pretty damned good. Of course, it didn’t hurt that Seattle ran themselves out of an inning. He got out of a couple jams, and actually improved his […]

I mean; does anybody use a broom anymore? I don’t think we even have one at home. So in a matinee today, the Sox will attempt to swiff the Mariners. Doing so could make things pretty interesting; especially if Oakland wins today. It would make for a tie in the AL […]

Well, in order to keep pace with the A’s (a rout of Toronto today) and to a lesser extent, the Yankees…Sox need to win in prime time tonight.
An interesting tidbit…the only mention of Pedro in the Boston area articles (Globe, Herald, and even ProJo) is that he is a little weak, and may or may […]

After finding a fly in it the first few times, I’d like to order last night’s version for the next several starts, please.
Just put it on my tab.
An all-around nice game last night. Except for the theatrics in the 9th, that is. A couple more like that and maybe switching Williamson and Kim […]

Panic swept through Red Sox Nation yesterday afternoon. As they were all finally just starting to come to terms with the previous two losses and realizing that a Pedro gem would put them only 1 game out of the Wild Card, the news hit like a lightning bolt:
CASEY FOSSUM WOULD BE STARTING!
Well, the kid […]
