By ⋅ July 30, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Red Sox edged out a victory in 10 innings against the Yankees Sunday night, winning by a score of 3-2.

The Yankees beat the Red Sox 10-3 on Friday night in Yankee Stadium. Aaron Cook who has been a bright spot in the Red Sox rotation, looked lost as the Yankees scored six earned runs against him in just four innings pitched. It looked as if things were going to go the Sox way as [...]

Why the 2012 Red Sox Should Throw in the Towel

By ⋅ June 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The last place Boston Red Sox, now 6.5 games out of first place in the American League East, have reached a breaking point. The team, since last September, has won 38 games and lost 52 (14 games under .500). In other words, they are a bad baseball team. With the Yankees surging, the Orioles playing [...]

2012 MLB Preview: Yankees Top American League Power Rankings

By ⋅ April 6, 2012 ⋅ One comment

For the Boston Red Sox, the 2011 season was an homage to all of the disappointing Red Sox teams of the past. The Sox had a potent offense, mediocre pitching staff and even a historic collapse to cap it all off. The baseball season is an epic journey and usually teams with the most talent, [...]

Revisiting Saltalamacchia’s “Latin Players” Comment About Cervelli

By ⋅ September 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Not too many things are certain in life, but as we enter September, conflict between the Red Sox and the Yankees is about as certain as the sun rising in the east. 2011 marks yet another year when the Sox and Yanks have been neck and neck for the division championship all year and as [...]

Who Would Win in a Fight: Jason Varitek or Jorge Posada?

By ⋅ September 2, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

As a strong member of the “Red Sox/Yankees Rivalry is dead” Club, I’ve been forced to look for new and innovative ways to entertain myself when Boston and New York play. By that I mean, I decide who would win positional battles. Like actual positional battles. Like if two players of the same position literally [...]

Red Sox Falter, Lose To Royals In 14-Inning Marathon

By ⋅ July 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Over the course of a 162-game season, there’s a game or two in the mix where it feels like no matter what the Red Sox do, they simply come up short. Last night against the Royals fell right into that category, as the Red Sox stranded the winning run in scoring position in four of [...]

John Henry’s $500K Fine Implicates MLB Revenue Sharing & Bud Selig More

By ⋅ March 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Earlier this week John Henry told WEEI that he was fined $500,000 in 2009 for criticizing MLB and their revenue sharing model. Specifically, this is what he had to say: “Over a billion dollars has been paid to seven chronically uncompetitive teams, five of whom have had baseball’s highest operating profits. Who, except these teams, [...]

We have arrived at the last weekend of September. In TV Land, that means season premiere time. This is the time when the networks bring back their big name dramas and sitcoms, while sprinkling in new shows that they hope will catch on like wildfire.

George Steinbrenner Passes Away at 80

By ⋅ July 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

To many in the Boston area, he was one of the most hated men. We despised the way he built his teams and formed a Nation to counter his Empire. Still, George Steinbrenner should be respected as one of the greatest owners in baseball history. George passed away today at the age of 80 after [...]
