It is easy to get flustered following these Red Sox this year. Isn’t a rite of summer around here anyway?
I have a column in Friday’s ET Publishing newspapers about “10 things we learned” from this Sox-Yanks series.
The bottom line is the Red Sox could afford to lose all three in the Bronx and live to [...]
Here’s the easy road: Rip Michael Vick at every turn.
Running and financing a dog fighting business is reprehensible. His lying the last five months was almost as bad. And he’s always been an over-rated quarterback.
That’s word on the street, right?
I have column in today’s ET Publishing papers saying Michael Vick deserves a break, or least [...]
What is it about the Yankees when it comes to playing the Red Sox?
Where is the team that can’t pitch straight? Where is the 8-run inning?
The Yankees looked like Yankees of old in last night’s three-game series opener, which means they were clutch.
The game had the feeling of a playoff game, which is what these [...]
I’ve been trying to figure out how to honor this guy, Julian Tavarez.
Rather than being crazy — remember him punching a baserunner at homeplate during his first Spring Training here in March of 2006? — he has been probably the most stable member of Red Sox Nation.
There are so many stars on this team and so [...]
The last time I was here, the Red Sox had a day off and a big road trip awaiting them about 10 days ago.
The object of my post was to promote how good the Red Sox were playing, sans the Yankees winning streak. There were those two tough losses in Baltimore, sponsored by Eric Gagne, but [...]
I am back after a vacation which included five days in Williamsport, Pa. for the Little League World Series. I will be answering questions about trip at any point. As I’ve noted a few times in columns over the last four years, the LLWS is one of the best experiences a family can have.
If you [...]
Normally, a day off in mid-to-late August for the Red Sox is seen as a bad day.
But it is good now that the Red Sox, the fans, and even those in between the two, the media, can’t catch our collective breaths as the final six weeks begin.
With the Yankees coming back to earth and being [...]
Ugly way to lose? You bet.
The 6-5 loss to the Orioles didn’t look good. But I’m going to take a different tact tack and say that more good came out of that loss than bad.
Am I crazy? Of course, but hear me out.
1. Wily Mo Pena came through in the clutch. I don’t remember saying [...]
I was on WEEI yesterday and this topic – Jon Lester vs. Kason Gabbard: Did the Red Sox trade the wrong young, promising lefty away? – sort of took a life of its own.
Of course, the discussion developed after Lester threw a clunker (3.1 IP, 5 ER, 8 hits), which the Sox still pulled out in Anaheim.
I [...]
If Julio Lugo makes that simple major league play, at least for a decent shortstop, in the fifth inning last night, do the Red Sox win the game? My guess is, yes.
Tim Wakefield probably gets out of the inning with a 4-3 lead or at worst, 4-4. And the game is handed off to the bullpen. [...]
