So, was there a game last night? Something told me to stop watching after the Sox scored a couple runs in the top of the 7th…
“I stunk,” Sauerbeck said. “I’ve stunk since I’ve been here. I’ve got a week to figure it out and try to get it straight so I can actually help […]

OK; I was cruising around baseball-reference.com this morning, when I noticed there are some available players. Just for the hell of it, PSF.com now sponsors Mike Timlin for the next year for a measly $10.
In perusing some other available players, there are 2 available in the Sox rotation that I’d like to have PSF.com […]

OK, that’s a silly joke. However, those are Manny’s numbers in September since joining the Sox. Sure, clutch is usually defined by close and late, or 2 out RBI, or numbers with runners in scoring position. But every at bat in September, especitally THIS September, is huge.
Sox take the […]

… and the ones I do know are way past their prime.”
“Most of these guys never had a prime.”
“This guy here is dead! ”
“Well, cross him off then.” Classic.
OK; that’s a little extreme…but it’s almost how many Sox fans undoubtedly felt when they saw the lineup last night. Sad when the highlight of the […]

Last night’s 8th inning was a nice piece of manufacturing runs. Nomar leadoff double, followed by a grounder to the right side to advance him to third. I’m guessing Pinella hasn’t seen the numbers for Ortiz after a Manny IBB, but he improved to 6 for 10 last night. Not only did […]

That’s 5 very good starts, and one so-so one. Could this be the return of the 2002 Lowe that the Sox need to cement their playoff hopes and to actually give them a chance in the postseason? Let’s hope so. A Lowe like this, combined with […]

Elvis’ favorite expression was TCB. He had it painted on his plane, among other things. Now that the Sox schedule is made up of Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Baltimore, they absolutely need to take care of business. 7 vs. the Devil Rays, win 5. 4 vs. the Orioles, win 3. 3 […]

Haven’t had much time to update the past couple of days…yesterday went to UConn/BC and today am headed up to Boston for the rubber game.
Only a 1/2 game lead in the Wild Card now, but I don’t think that’s cause for too much concern. Seattle has a tough road ahead of them in the […]

7-2 road trip. 14 of the last 19. Pedro looked like Pedro. Manny en fuego since Mannygate. Mueller and Ortiz continue to shine. Holding steady with the WC lead and within shouting distance (barely) for the division. With 17 games left.
What’s not to like about being a Red Sox […]

Nice win last night; Lowe wasn’t as sharp as his line may indicate, but you really can’t complain too much about that. Seattle loses, so the WC lead is increased…Yanks get by Detroit in late innings, so the East deficit remains the same.
More strangeness from Little today:
“When we bring guys in from that bullpen […]
