If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 17

By ⋅ August 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The trade deadline has come and gone, and some contenders have made some big moves to up their chances of playoff glory. Ubaldo Jimenez and Hunter Pence, not to mention Michael Bourn (the Astros were really sellers, weren’t they?) are all in great positions to make a push. So is Erik Bedard, though he isn’t [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 16

As the season goes on, it’s tough for any team to gain a competitive edge. The NL Central even has a three-way tie going, with each team only percentage points apart. Sure, teams are starting to wedge a little bit of room between themselves and their competitors, but those leads haven’t been stable this season [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 14

Now that the All-Star break is here, it’s time for teams to sit back and reflect on the first half, rest up and take stock of where they are. That’s especially important in the American League, where no division is led by more than 1.0 games. Save for the NL Central, NL leads are a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – MLB Week 12

By ⋅ June 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With the Dodgers bankrupt and the All Star break almost upon us, the season is nearly half over, and there’s still plenty of teams in the hunt. Four divisions are led by at most 1.5 games. Philadelphia lost Roy Oswalt for awhile. The top three teams aside from Philly are all in one division. And [...]

Ortiz HR Lifts Sox in Game 1; Verlander Gem Gets Tigers Split in Game 2

By ⋅ May 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox looked to extend their winning streak of five games on Sunday afternoon as they began the day-night doubleheader at 1 p.m. in Detriot. The Sox sent Clay Buchholz to the mound in Game 1 and Josh Beckett in for Game 2.  Boston did in fact get the win in the first game, beating [...]

Crawford HRs, Wakefield Strong as Red Sox Beat Tigers

By ⋅ May 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s face it: you probably watched the first hour of the Friday night’s Red Sox game and missed the rest while the Bruins were on (the Bruins, of course, won 1-0 to earn their first trip to the Stanley Cup since 1990). Well, fear not! I’ve got you covered. Tim Wakefield filled in admirably for [...]

Crawford’s Walkoff Hit Lifts Red Sox Over Tigers; Beckett Injured

By ⋅ May 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The only thing that could dampen a duel between the two best pitchers in the American League, Boston’s Josh Beckett and Detroit’s Justin Verlander, is a little rain. Under a steady drizzle/fog/light rain at Fenway Park Thursday night, both pitchers still delivered quality performances. Beckett allowed just one run in six innings, but only threw [...]

One Run Proves To Be Enough As Red Sox Squeak By Tigers 1-0

By ⋅ May 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

They say that one swing of the bat can change a whole game and that was proven to be true Wednesday night in the Red Sox win over the Detroit Tigers. The final score was 1-0, and the game’s only run came in the bottom of the eighth inning when Jarrod Saltalamacchia belted a ball [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Victor Martinez Spurns Sox, Signs With Tigers

By ⋅ November 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It appears Victor Martinez is headed out of town, as he has reportedly signed a $50 million, 4-year deal. The report came early Tuesday according to Venezuelan reporter Ignacio Serrano. He also said the Tigers outbid the Red Sox, Orioles, and White Sox to enlist Martinez’ services. According to reports, Baltimore offered four years and $48 [...]

Red Sox Claim Johnny Damon Off Waivers: Will He Return to Boston?

By ⋅ August 24, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

One of the biggest “Idiots” in Red Sox history may be on his way back to Boston after the Sox claimed Tigers outfielder Johnny Damon off waivers on Monday. Damon, who played for the Red Sox for four seasons from 2002-2005, has a limited no-trade clause in his contract that restricts him from joining the [...]

Red Sox Throw Away Rubber Match But Get It Back

By ⋅ August 1, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The “Seinfeld” spirit is alive and well with Detroit, who handed the Red Sox a 4-3 victory after Boston handed back a 3-0 lead. The biggest enemy of both sides, at least early on, was the Sun, which led to Marco Scutaro singling on a pop-up to short, then stealing 2nd. Even with J.D. Drew [...]

Orale Papi! David Ortiz Wins In The 9th (This Time)

By ⋅ July 31, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

When a grand slam isn’t enough, try it again. It may not have been a homer, but David “Big Papi” Ortiz hit a walk-off double, driving in his seventh RBI in the 9th inning in two nights. It didn’t start out so well, and didn’t look good until the end; Miguel Cabrera thrust a spear [...]

Ortiz Grand Slam Not Enough; Tigers Top Sox 6-5

By ⋅ July 31, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Needing a win to help the Red Sox keep pace with the Rays in the Wild Card chase (at least the Rays beat the Yankees), Jon Lester came up limp. Lester tossed six innings, but he struggled to get through them, allowing 11 hits and two walks along with four runs. On the bright side, [...]
