• Well that truly sucked

  I guess Jesus doesn’t like liars and cheats, huh? :/ All kidding aside, this loss annoyed the hell out of me, but what are you going to do? Beckett’s going to have to come up big tomorrow...

• Good and Bad

  Posted on Wednesday August 13th, 2008 at 23:59 in Games, kyle snyder, mike timlin, pawsox, players

  Two games in a row I get to see the Red Sox offense take off in person - a gal could get used to this. Except for the jackasses who booed Mike Timlin - it was a fabulous night at Fenway, once again. I...

  All photos in this entry were taken by me on August 12, 2008 Bill Lee! Right in front of me! I woke up this morning almost convinced that last night was a dream. The whole thing was surreal. I ha...

  Photo of Jason celebrating the homer - from MLB.com When I first started blogging, I wrote about my affection for the Pittsburgh Pirates. The 1979 Pirates/Orioles World Series was the first World Se...

• Oops.

  Posted on Wednesday July 30th, 2008 at 05:20 in almost a no-hitter, Games, john lackey

  Much to my surprise, at the end of the 8th inning last night I found myself wanting one of two things: 1)  I wanted the Red Sox to mount a 7-run rally and come from behind to win or, short of that, 2...

• It must be nice…

  Posted on Friday July 25th, 2008 at 21:23 in Games, mfy

  …to be Mariano Rivera and have all those balls called strikes. No way what happened in the ninth inning is the reason the Sox lost tonight, but it doesn’t help when the opposing team obvio...

• Winning Ways

  Posted on Wednesday July 23rd, 2008 at 20:14 in clay buchholz, Craig Hansen, Games, jeff natale, jonathan papelbon, justin masterson, kyle snyder, lowell spinners

  So the Sox sweep the Mariners - which makes me quite happy - and I’m listening to the Spinners game on the radio (the completion of the game we got rained out of last night) and Jeff Natale, reh...

  (Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images) The Sox are in Seattle yet I’m the one who ended up soaked (along with my friends who made a rained-out game loads of fun! Shout out to the SGers! U...

  Tek hit a two-run homer! (Photo by Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images) I had no plans to watch the entire game. None at all. Yet, I did. I should be smacked. No way I should still be up right now. Ton...

• Recap Redux

  Posted on Monday July 21st, 2008 at 05:28 in always look on the bright side of life, Games

  A blinding headache, that still hasn’t left me, caused me to temporarily forget some of the good aspects of yesterday (which KellyO reminded me of in last night’s comments. We saw Michael ...

• Live Baseball!

  Posted on Friday July 18th, 2008 at 15:40 in clay buchholz, david ortiz, Games, pawsox

  Feels like it’s been forever since we’ve seen a “real” baseball game, huh? Well the wait will be longer since the Red Sox are on the west coast this weekend and we don’t ...

• Solidarity

  Posted on Friday July 11th, 2008 at 22:31 in Games, oh well

  I thought it was terribly nice of the bullpen boys to suck in order to be simpatico with Clay tonight. All for one and one for all, I suppose. Nothing lost since Rays lost tonight too (as did the Yank...

• Yeah, Baby!

  Posted on Wednesday July 9th, 2008 at 07:07 in brandon moss, Games, manny ramirez

  (AP Photo/Winslow Townson)  Another exciting win for the Sox. Great way to end the night. I’m running around today because it’s my Goddaughter’s seventh birthday and I’ll b...

• Oh well

  Posted on Sunday July 6th, 2008 at 23:01 in Games, jonathan papelbon, what are you going to do?

  I’ll write here what I just wrote somewhere else. I don’t mind the split at all.  As a matter of fact, at Yankee Stadium and the way the Sox have been playing on the road as of late, I...

  Posted on Sunday July 6th, 2008 at 09:37 in clay buchholz, ESPN, Games, joba chamberlain, joe morgan, justin masterson, kyle snyder, lowell spinners, mfy, tampa bay rays, tim wakefield

  Taken by me last night.   The Frisbee catching dog is a big hit. I’m not sure things could have sucked MORE yesterday.  Sox blow it in the ninth (but, really, if you have to wait until the 9th...

• Impressive

  Posted on Thursday July 3rd, 2008 at 21:29 in Games, Jon Lester, mfy

  I had an odd calm about me all day. Thought I’d be pissy and grumpy about the Tampa series and instead spent the better part of many baseball discussions talking about how “good” I ...

  SOME day I will work out a theme for the template of this blog that I’m truly happy with. Until then, you’ll all be subjected to my whims. In going online to read the news of the day, ...

• I suppose I should mention that the Sox won as well!

  Posted on Wednesday June 18th, 2008 at 05:52 in boston celtics, charlie zink, Games, Jon Lester

  Poor Jon Lester. It seems like every time he pitches a good game lately, something else happens to upstage him. No matter. Crabcakes kicked butt last night and the offense even showed up! Woot. ...

• Good God the pitching sucked tonight

  Posted on Tuesday June 10th, 2008 at 21:51 in Games, kyle snyder, really bad game

  Yeesh. I know what it is.  It’s the curse of Kyle Snyder.  They need him in the bullpen.  Not just for his pitching arm, but for his talents on the acoustic water bottle. Think about it.  Al...

  Pic of Javier Lopez taken by me on Saturday in Baltimore I feel like I’ll forever be behind in posting about the weekend in Baltimore. So until I do that, I need to send out a “hello” and “th...

  BoSox can’t beat the Orioles (5-4). PawSox can’t beat the Bisons (6-5). Baseball is supposed to please me not annoy me. I’m not pleased. Josh wasn’t “Josh-like” b...

  So the other night the ‘old’ guys kick pitching ass and tonight the “old” guys suck pitching ass. Even down as much as they were early on, the team came back within one. THAT ...

  According to Don Orsillo. Nice to see hyperbole isn’t dead.  Nice win by the team tonight.   Matsuzaka did well, the bullpen did well and the guys were hitting homeruns like they got an ice ...
