Obviously, the chances for the division are remote. The only way the Sox even get a sniff at the division is if they sweep the Devil Rays while the Twins sweep the Yanks. And even then, it is still an extreme long shot.
The Yanks/Twins series is huge, though. It pretty much determines […]

I won\’t lie, I\’ve fallen into the trap as much as anyone. Call it high expectations or misguided hope, or unrealistic fandom. Whatever it is, the 2004 Sox are somehow disappointing.
The team has 89 wins and could still win a 100, but this team doesn\’t seem to have the same spirit or mojo or fan […]

Oh, boo-hoo.
They lost 2 of 3 to the Yankees in the Bronx. The season must be over. Winning the division is nowhere in sight. Pedro has no heart. Let’s all roll over and piss on ourselves.
Ok, so now it’s harder. And now we’ve seen how definitive the departure of Derek Lowe after this season will […]

First off, I was a tad nasty and testy on Saturday, but I take September and October baseball serious, probably too serious. I am getting older and want to die with one World Series at least in the pine box with me. If I insulted or upset anyone it wasnG??t personal it was frustration […]

Isn’t weather a strange thing? I almost feel like I’ve been an amature meteorologist
for the past week, analyzing what was going to happen to the Sox/Yanks series
this weekend. And so far, the weather has done nothing but cause a rain delay…
Yesterday psf.commer Fanatic and I met up in the morning to […]

So here they are. 3 1/2 back with 6 more against the team ahead of them. Realistically,
the Sox need to take 4 of the remaining 6 (which would gain them 2 games) to
have a realistic shot at the AL East. Even if they don’t win the division, I
like the […]

This year, I’m 9-1 in Sox games attended. The one loss, I left early because I didn’t think they would continue (Nomar’s return game vs. the Padres), and I’m convinced that had I stayed, they would have pulled it out.
Well, Wakes has been on a little bit of a bad streak lately, so tonight […]

…but it was still an impressive stretch. The 13 game run that was supposed to bring the Sox back to earth, which included a 7 game West Coast road trip, saw the Sox go 10-3. Not to shabby at all. Now the Sox play the Orioles, the Devil Rays, and the Yankees. […]

Go round and round…
Or in the case of the Yankees, they may be falling off. This is from George King in the New York Post this morning:
A selfish and immature act by the most self-centered man in baseball may have cost the Yankees the AL East last night at Yankee Stadium.
That may be going […]
