Nomar Gone.

In a trade I’m not sure I like, Nomar is now a Chicago Cub. And I was resigned to losing Nomar, but I don’t think they got a good deal here.

Lowe Gone?

An unconfirmed but pretty reliable source tells me that Derek Lowe has been traded to the Padres for Brian Lawrence and Jay Payton. This is contingent on the Padres being able to work something out with Lowe.

Safeco

My sister in law, Christy, and I have been planning our trip to Seattle since my birthday in February. It was our time to get away from kids and husbands and catch the two Sox games against the Mariners at Safeco Field. She is a born and raised MG??s fan, but was excited to learn […]

Handle yo bidness (apologists need not apply)

I’ll lay it all out for you:

At 54-44, there are 20 series left that comprise the 64 remaining games.

The Red Sox have to average two wins per series.

Does that mean they must win every series? No. It just means that with 16 three game series and 4 four game series left […]

trading deadline

I watched the game live on UK TV (ESPN feed).
I enjoyed Youk G??callingG?? Damon shot off the PeskyG??s Pole.
And John Kerry not liking the DH rule.
And Ben Affleck sitting on the pigG??s seat and G?exchangingG? words with A-Rod.
DonG??t they have good catchers in the Army?
And sorry Bo, but they didnG??t read your mail. Thanks a […]

A Tale of Two Portlands

So today, I was in TWO Portlands. After a long camping weekend in Maine that turned out to be a lot more fun than I expected (and that was WITH rain Friday night), I made my first trip ever to Hadlock Field with a couple of PSF.com members and our families. Surprisingly, two […]

Fire Theo Epstein

The opinions expressed here are not those of PSF, and frankly, I couldn’t disagree more.
It’s simple to fire the neanderthal manager, it’s easy to do so. They are there to be fired. But, maybe it’s time the General Manager get a little heat.
Today’s actions speak loudly about how out of touch the GM is to […]

The worst of both worlds

For those of us that stayed awake Monday night, that was an absolute kick in
the pants. A GREAT pitching performance by Arroyo (wouldn’t that be nice if
that was closer to the norm for the rest of the year?), not a huge amount of
offense, but enough timely hitting to put […]

I\’m back

After a week of vacation, and not much Sox (although the fact that it concided with the All Star break means I didn’t miss much). Watched last night for the first time in a week…and went to bed at 5-0. So they go for a split with Schilling today…gonna be a long second […]

All is Well in Sox Nation–Finally

See what a few wins do for the team?
It\’s hard for the media to find anymore trash to throw out at players (except for the Mental Gidget boy). It\’s hard for overanalyzers (like dannycater for instance) to attack the woefully non-impressive manager nor his actions.
You see, that\’s what a 4-game win streak does. It reawakens […]
