Not a phrase you want to hear when referring to runners stranded in scoring position.
That’s right. Of the SEVENTEEN runners stranded by the Sox last night, ELEVEN were in scoring position.
Yes, Kim was terrible. He shouldn’t have allowed 4 runs to score, and the blame is also partially on his shoulders. […]

The Red Sox clubhouse was practically empty when catcher Jason Varitek emerged from a room in back and walked to his locker.
“I just got done watching the video of my at-bats and puked,” he said. HEUSCHKEL
Hell, even rah-rah boy was down in the dumps after that one..
“This is a big loss,” Kevin Millar said.
I did […]

Since there is no game (and as of this writing the Yanks are spanking the Royals who have missed some opportunities to this point), I thought I’d send you some interesting reads.
How bad has Todd Walker been? Patrickover at House that Dewey Built will tell you.
What will the Sox do with Nomar? Tim, […]

So with a day to think about it, the Sox fall 5 games back in the east, and into a tie for the wildcard. Freddy Garcia pitched very well (was that the first time all year?), and Burkett nearly matched his performance.
Apparantly the Sox got their Pedro bats and Burkett bats mixed up. […]

With a win today, the Sox have a chance to finish this road trip above .500. With a loss, they dip below.
I only paid half attention to the game yesterday, but it seems that Pedro was very good against the M’s again. And this without Nomar or Damon in the lineup.
What I DID […]

Well, I’m glad I went to bed after the Ichiro grand slam. I only wish I did so before that inning. Or before 10:00. All of those runs should be credited to Todd Walker.
What else is there to say?
I’m off to a cookout to hopefully enjoy Pedro today.

No, not Vaughn. And not Rivera. I’m talking MO-mentum here, people. Hopefully the last two games is an indicator of some headed the Sox way.
Damian Jackson walked across the Red Sox clubhouse and knocked over a large bag full of bats. He picked up another bag and dumped about 25 bats on […]

As I settled in to play cards with some friends last evening, we had the Yankee game on TV. I made a comment that it was ‘headcase night’ for baseball games, as we would be watching Weaver in the Yankee game and then Lowe in the Sox game.
Well, Weaver didn’t fail to disappoint. […]

A direct quote from my 7/12/03 entry:
With Burkett’s propensity for terrible first innings, the joke has been made by everybody I know that Burkett should pitch an inning or two in the bullpen. Even my father-in-law (poor suffering Tigers fan that he is) has said to me on numerous occasions: “Burkett should warm up longer”.
Burkett […]

I hate West Coast trips. I hate staying up until all hours of the night when a game is close, rendering myself virturally useless the next day. Memories of the 19 inning game in Seattle in 2000 or the long game in Texas in 2001 and how miserable and tired I was the […]
