Arizona Protestors at Fenway, Should MLB Take Notice?

By ⋅ June 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Arizona Diamondbacks arrived at Fenway Park last Tuesday their baggage was waiting for them. No, the Red Sox haven’t started a valet service for opposing teams. Protesters, angered over a new Arizona law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration, but seen by many as going too far, have been making noise around anything [...]

Ortiz, Nava Lead Sox to Sweep of D-Backs

By ⋅ June 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Thursday night in Boston, the Red Sox moved up their start time to 6:10 to accommodate people who wanted to watch the Celtics and Lakers in Game 7. It was supposed to be a glorious night for Boston sports fans. The Sox did their part, defeating the hapless Diamondbacks 8-5 and sweeping away an Arizona [...]

Lester, Pedroia Carry Sox Over Arizona

By ⋅ June 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox have thrived on interleague competition and Wednesday’s match with the visiting Diamondbacks was no exception, with the Red Sox winning 6-2. Former Baltimore Oriole nemesis Rodrigo Lopez resurfaced to face the dominant Jon Lester, but couldn’t match Lester’s seven-inning, seven-strikeout, two-run night. Dustin Pedroia, who was mired in a deep slump until recently, [...]

Ortiz, Buchholz Help Sox Top D-Backs

This may surprise you, but the Red Sox actually played a game on Tuesday night, as they hosted the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first of a three-game series at Fenway Park. Before you get bored…you may actually want to continue reading, as the result on Yawkey Way was not nearly as disappointing as the one [...]

Sporting World And America Rebuff Arizona

By ⋅ May 9, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

By now, we’ve all heard about Arizona Senate Bill 1070, which aims to toughen up the state’s response to illegal immigration when it takes effect in August. At least that’s what right wingers are saying the point is. Plenty more people are saying that the law will actually promote racial profiling, since police are now [...]

TGIF: Justin Upton in the First Round?

By ⋅ January 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I am back from a dinner out with friends, and I decided to wander over to Yahoo! fantasy to see what is going on. To my surprise, Brandon Funston has released his fantasy baseball “Big Board” for the first time this year. I never really see eye-to-eye with Funston on his picks, especially since he [...]

Three Off-Season MLB Moves That Affect the Red Sox

By ⋅ December 17, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Plenty of action has already taken place during the off-season. The Red Sox have made their share of moves (John Lackey) and also made intentions known (Adrian Gonzalez). This could force other players out to get rid of the surplus (Clay Buccholz). But, it’s not just the Red Sox that have been moving and shaking. [...]

Curtis Granderson Traded to Yankees in Three-Team Deal

By ⋅ December 8, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The biggest news coming from today’s winter meetings is that the New York Yankees, Arizona Diamondbacks, and Detroit Tigers have agreed in principle to a blockbuster, three team trade. The Deal New York gets Curtis Granderson (OF) from Detroit. Arizona gets Edwin Jackson (P) and Ian Kennedy (P) from Detroit and New York. Detroit gets [...]

Manny Ready to Leave, Four Teams Interested

By ⋅ July 28, 2008 ⋅ 5 comments

Could Manny Ramirez really be traded before the July 31 trading deadline? Manny appears ready to leave. “If the Red Sox are a better team without Manny Ramirez, they should trade me; I will not object. I don’t have any preferences. I could choose a team that offers me the best conditions or one in [...]

View from the Monster 6-30

By ⋅ June 30, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox are coming off a 3-3 week after taking two of three at home from the Diamondbacks and then dropping two of three in Houston to a rebuilding Astros team. More importantly, the Sox have dropped back into second place, a 1/2 game behind the Rays heading into the three game series in [...]

Sox “Cash In” Win Over D-Backs

By ⋅ June 26, 2008 ⋅ 2 comments

Red Sox catcher Kevin Cash finally gave publishers, editors, and producers in the Boston media a chance to use his name as a pun in their headlines. Count me in that mix, as the Sox “cashed in” in a win over the Diamondbacks 5-0 to take the series thanks to a three-run, eighth-inning HR from Cash. It [...]

Sox Shock D-Backs Late To Win

By ⋅ June 25, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Before his eighth inning at bat Tuesday night, Jason Varitek was 1-for-his-last-30 at the plate. It’s hard to believe considering I don’t recall naming him Diamond Dud, but he tends to escape much criticism due to his team leadership and his excellent management of the pitching staff. In addition to his normal contributions, Varitek added [...]

Haren Outduels Beckett, Youkilis Suffers Black Eye

By ⋅ June 24, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Josh Beckett was a tough luck loser yet again as the Sox provided him no run support in a 2-1 loss. Beckett struck out eight in eight innings, allowing just two runs on five hits and two walks. Beckett was in dominant form, but he was up against Arizona’s No. 2 starter, Dan Haren, who [...]
