If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 7

By ⋅ May 23, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Another week gone, and the Rays have finally faltered out of the division lead. For a brief moment, the Red Sox actually led the division, but then they collapsed against the Cubs. Cleveland’s still in firm command of the AL, while Philadelphia maintains a delicate lead in the NL. The Giants have built a comfortable [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 6

By ⋅ May 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s about time Boston made it to .500. And it only took 40 games. Plenty has changed in the past week, including three new division leaders. The Yankees are in real danger of falling even further out of the race, and Adrian Gonzalez has Boston just two games out of the Wildcard hunt. The defending [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 5

By ⋅ May 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Almost 20% of the season is done already, and the Red Sox still have never been to .500. The Pirates have for the first time since Blackbeard roamed the waters, so it’s embarrassing. Yet somehow, they’re only 4.0 games out of both the division and the Wildcard race. Cleveland is still somehow good, and is [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 4

By ⋅ May 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s been four weeks, and Boston is still in the division’s cellar, and who would’ve thought the Twins would be MLB’s worst team? After that start, the Rays are back in the conversation for the Wildcard team. The Rangers are starting to slip from their powerful start, and Brandon League has the Mariners just 3.5 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 3

By ⋅ April 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, the standings show little to no signs of stabilizing. Philadelphia is back on top, Detroit and Tampa are making challenges, and here come the Red Sox, among others. Taking down the Reds helped Pujols and the Cardinals take over the division, but Corey Hart is about to return, and the Brewers are [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 2

By ⋅ April 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After Week 2, plenty has been shaken up. The Rangers, while still deadly, have fallen out of favor. The Red Sox are on a winning streak, but Carl Crawford is still absolutely useless. The Rockies did quite well for themselves, rocketing up the standings. The Orioles are 6-8 after starting 6-1, and the Angels have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 1

By ⋅ April 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Baseball is finally here, though it’s not going in the manner for which Red Sox fans would have hoped. As can be the case early in the seasons, the standings look like bizarro divisions, with good teams doing terribly and terrible teams doing good. That’s led to some very interesting match-ups. Right now, the Rangers [...]

Red Sox Still On Track For 0-162 After Loss to Indians

By ⋅ April 7, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Red Sox just love finding new ways to lose. They’ve lost on terrible pitching and terrible hitting, and now in a 1-0 loss to the Indians, you can throw terrible base running and terrible umpiring into the mix. Both pitching staffs did quite well in the game, especially the starters, so scoring chances were [...]

Red Sox Fall to 0-5 After 8-4 Loss To Tribe

By ⋅ April 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In the fifth installment of a classic adventure series, we once again rejoin “our hero” in yet another perilous situation. Be it hanging precariously over a pit of lava or strapped to a table beneath a laser while the villain laughs maniacally during his monologue, we sympathize with and are shocked by, his plight. And [...]

Bats Fail Against Indians, Red Sox Drop To 0-4

By ⋅ April 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The worry heading into the opening game against the Indians was that Josh Beckett, who hasn’t looked good in more than a year and a half, was ready to make his first start of the season. Beckett claims he has a renewed focus and that his awful 2010 season (6-6, 5.78 ERA) is behind him. [...]

A.L. Central Fantasy Preview

By ⋅ March 5, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

The A.L. Central is a glass half empty/half full division. Here you can find some of the best and most dependable players as well as bottom-dwelling schmucks. Let’s be honest here and just point out that you want Twins, Tigers, and White Sox players on your team. If you are backed into a corner, you [...]

Beckett, Red Sox Drop Second Straight in the Bronx

By ⋅ August 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

So much for that thunderous roar back into the standings. While a sweep would have been the nail in the proverbial coffin for your 2010 Boston Red Sox, the best that this team can hope for at this point is a split of the series. Doesn’t it taste just as bitter? As Josh Beckett and the [...]

Matsuzaka, Beltre Shine as Sox Split Series

By ⋅ August 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Daisuke Matsuzaka got off to a shaky beginning and looked headed for a second rocky outing in as many starts as the Red Sox closed out their four-game series with the Cleveland Indians Thursday night. Shin-Soo Choo hit his 14th home run of the season off Matsuzaka in the first inning to set the tone. [...]

Errors Prove Costly as Indians Clobber Red Sox

By ⋅ August 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Red Sox continued their four-game series against the Cleveland Indians Wednesday night at Fenway Park. Making his long-awaited return from the disabled list was Jacoby Ellsbury, playing in just his tenth game of the season. On the hill for the Red Sox was Jon Lester, who had lost all three of his starts [...]

Lowell HRs in Return; Sox Win After Near-Brawl With Tribe

By ⋅ August 3, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

When Kevin Youkilis was placed on the disabled list before Tuesday’s game with a muscle tear in his right thumb, admit it: if you once thought the Red Sox had a chance of making the playoffs, you now thought they had no chance. They may still have no chance, but at least they have an [...]
