Anybody who has read this site more than a few times knows that I’m really not one for overreacting to one particluar game. I’m also not one to be overly critical of the manager. But reading the quotes in the paper this morning rubbed me the wrong way.
It was more of a laugher […]

Although let’s hope the momentum of the last 18 games or so keeps rolling…
When I first laid out the tough stretch, I talked of 19 games. I added 6 more at a later date, but even though I didn’t put down what I hoped for them…I’ll take 5-1. As for the rest:

Yesterday was a FANTASTIC day. I headed up to Boston early for the Springsteen show to meet a friend I was selling some extra tickets to and to watch the Sox/Yanks game. We ended up at Beer Works, and as we all know, the game turned out great. Then we moved over […]

Yeah; I know you can’t say something like that after just one game. But Pedro was lights-out last night. Last night was one of those nights that he would have survived the Sox scoring 2 runs. Here’s hoping that’s the Pedro we see for the rest of September.

-Ortiz is still DYN-O-MITE.
-Manny returns from his wrist slap and has a nice game.
-Lowe has his 5th solid outing in a row.
-Kim didn’t blow the game.
-Sox picked up the ground they lost in the East last weekend; and then some.
-Now tied for the WC again.
One almost wishes that they DIDN’T have an off day, to […]

Manny was benched, the Sox still won. In my opinion, based on what facts (or near facts) have come out, I think Grady did the right thing in sitting him. Nobody doubts that he was sick; but have some courtesy (in calling Sunday to say “Hey; I’m still sick”) and some common sense […]

Sox fans and Philly fans both got a roller coaster ride yesterday with PLENTY of ups and downs. Very much like the extra inning game they played in late June. This time, however, it was the Philly Coaster that derailed.
I only started watching in earnest around the 7th inning. I was thrilled […]
