First, a potentially devastating injury to the one guy the Sox need in the postseason. Then, what appears to be the pitching mismatch of the playoffs turns into…Jon Lieber throwing 20 pitches. In 7 innings. What the hell happened to this on paper stuff???
High pitch counts in the first couple of innings […]

Well, there is no sense arguing anymore about if it matters or not if the Sox face the Yankees in the postseason. I would argue that had the Sox NOT faced the Yankees and then ended up achieving the ultimate goal, it wouldn’t have been any less of an achievment than if they are […]

Johnny Damon may not be the best centerfielder in Sox history (I\’m convinced Fred Lynn was about as good as it gets from 1975-1979), but he may be one of the most clutch players in Sox history.

Sox won very convincingly yesterday. Schilling looked like his normal postseason self, and the bats were definitely not asleep. A good outing by Pedro tonight could raise this area to a fever pitch.
I fell asleep around the 7th inning of the Yankee game, but it turns out I didn’t miss anything. Am […]

So when I bought these tickets last March, I worried that these games would be meaningless. Well, they are, but they are for the right reason.
We’re here now, waiting for the rest to arrive and commence festivities. We’ll keep you updated with all the fun you aren’t having.
