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 tell about it. The Sox are up five games, which is a lot heading into September, but let’s be honest, … continued »

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 some space while his “act of contrition” plays out or whether it is … continued »

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?

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 many players, particularly pitchers, who are having All-Star caliber seasons that Tavarez’s contributions could easily get lost in the shuffle.

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 the Sox bats were awakening and the starters were as consistent as they had been all season, despite injuries.

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 have a question about accomodations, the park, the experience, the hot dogs, the access to players, the tickets … Send … continued »
