Soft

EDIT: I just saw this today, it was composed on 5/15
1. Let’s face it, a roster spot on this team is a pretty cushy gig. Soft managerial
style and soft player leadership. Absolutely no one is going to get in your face
unless you aren’t sociable. Drop an easy pop fly because the roof was open […]

Hats Off

First off, congrats to Wakes on his 400th appearance, 105th Sox win (ties Pedro
and Lefty Grove for 8th), and a nice outing. Of course, do we expect anything
different when Wakes pitches in Tampa Bay? Oh, yeah, and the kid thing…congrats
on that, too!
Offense showed a little sign of life […]

Minor League Adventures

So I saw the Sox AA team last night, and pitching was converted knuckleballer
Charlie Zink. You may or may not have heard his story. Here’s a Globe
Story with his background. Unlike Wakefield, a converted infielder, Zink
was always a pitcher, and throwing the knuckler may or may not be his […]

My Exciting Weekend (ok; not really…)

Believe it or not, I didn’t watch that much baseball this weekend. Based on
the recaps and box scores, I didn’t miss much.
Friday night we took in the circus.
I think I spent more time watching my daughter than the action in the arena.
She had a great time; especially before the […]

Guess it isn\’t…

The the shirt.
I’m glad I wasn’t watching this one, only listening. And I turned it off well before it was over.

Oh, well…

…that’s a pesky little Indians team the Sox just lost 2 of 3 to. If they
had a halfway decent bullpen, they could probably contend for the Central.
It was mentioned last night on TV that of the Indians 18 losses, 13 of them
had the Indians tied or winning in the 7th inning. […]

Bet not too many teams…

…put the left-handed shift on against Ortiz anymore. His homer was nice…but
poking the ball to the opposite field when they put the shift on for him was
a thing of beauty.

Ortiz beat the shift twice Tuesday night by hitting the ball to opposite ends
of Fenway Park. The first time, he […]

Un-Kim-Pressive

Arroyo earned his 5 spot back last night…without even doing anything. After
a promising first start this year, Kim’s last two have been less than stellar.
Is Kim Korean for Contrares?
At least he’s only the 5th starter. But to lose a slugfest with the Indians
just isn’t good. And those that have known me […]

Even Bob Ryan Got It Right Sunday

I\’m here in defense of a member of the sox known as the ace, and no i\’m not talking about the other quality ace curt schilling, who has begun his sox career in fine fashion and is one of the top 5 in the game in my opinion.

The Streak Continues

…actually, a couple of different streaks.
1. Sox are 4-0 in games I’ve attended
2. Sox/Schilling are undefeated when I wear my Schilling t-shirt on a day that
he pitches. Sox have never won when he pitches and I don’t wear said t-shirt.
What a game yesterday. Schill was dealing, I got to see an offensive explosion
[…]
