Futuristic
In an hour, or so, I’ll be off to Fenway for the day. I’ve been fortunate to be able to attend the Futures at Fenway games since they started them, so this will be my third time. It real...
A Quickie
It’s 1:53am and I just got settled into bed. Let me map out my day. July 31st is my maternal grandmother’s birthday. She died five years ago this past May. So, honestly, the day was s...
Quotes from around the league
Just stuff that has struck me interesting (so far!). “I definitely don’t want to be a backup, but there’s nothing I can say about it. I did what I could do while I was in there; now ...
Tuesday Tidbits
I get mixed emotions after a night like last. On the one hand, everyone (Rays, Sox, Yanks) lost, so the Sox didn’t lose any ground. On the other hand, everyone ELSE lost, so the Sox didn̵...
Miscellany on Monday
(Shout out to Nancy!) Well done, Crabby, well done. So the Sox lose a squeaker on Friday, get pummeled on Saturday and do the pummeling on Sunday? Always hate to lose a series, especially to the Y...
Things I learned yesterday
These are the kids who were left at the end of the day…there were many, many more there! (And that’s my niece Madison on the left in the “Hello Kitty” shirt!) * Family reunio...
Day o Fun
Today is my family reunion. It starts relatively (see what I did there?) early and ends around the time the Sox/Yanks game will be an hour or so old. I’ll be bringing technology to get updat...
For your reading pleasure
While I go kick myself for not wearing a hat yesterday and go find some extra-strength pain reliever…click and learn. Alex Speier has quite the interesting story on the connection between my ...
More “Things”
Because it was painfully bad, I’m up way too early, and it’s really easy to do, I’m going to rip off today’s Bob Ryan “column”: I wonder if Chris Berman and Joe Mo...
What’s Going On?
Photo of Bobby Kielty taken by Kelly O’Connor I’ve been neglecting the minors lately so here’s a brief rundown of some interesting tidbits: * Michael Bowden, chosen for the Eastern...
Baseball Potpourri
I have no idea where this came from, but I love it. I’ve been telling folks that I wasn’t “worried” about the Rays because I felt that their pitching was going to come down to ...
Power
Sox sweep the Twins with two one-run games and an 18-run, 23-hit beatdown. That’s fairly impressive, no? I was off-line for most of the day yesterday and all of the night. After spending the da...
Short but…Sweet!
Sox win a one-run game and pick up an entire game in the standings. Nicely done fellas. Daisuke was amazing and truly deserved the win. The bats still need a little ass-kicking, but things are looki...
Maybe leadership is important?
Photo including my man Mike that I’ve never seen before - lifted from “Mr. Irrelevant” Wow. I don’t mean leadership just from your manager or your coaches either. Maybe there...
This day in Red Sox history - 2004
The Red Sox were in second place, 8.5 games behind the Yankees and had lost their third game in a row. Folks who weren’t around in 2004, or who have selective memories, don’t remember how ...
The good, the bad and whatever
I just love this photo. Courtesy of Kelly O’Connor PawSox won again last night. This makes me very happy. Guys are on a tear right now. BoSox? Well, not so much. But they tried for a comeba...
I think…
…if you’re playing in an extra-innings game and then get taken OUT of the game, you should be allowed to go home. (Thanks to JS for the Kyle Snyder update in comments!) I have a couple of ...
Sunshiney Goodness and Crappy Baseball
I ended up spending yesterday outside enjoying the day. Which means I didn’t watch Matsuzaka suck up the place and the Red Sox drop another one to the Cardinals. It also means I missed the PawS...
Personality goes a long way
So yesterday I read about the Yankees signing Sidney Ponson…again…and I remember reading something about how, even though he was pitching well for them, the Rangers just wanted him gone &#...
Random thoughts while listening to the rain and wondering if the sun will ever shine again
The post is after the jump - Wordpress is still not cooperating. There is a very good chance that, yet again, the blog is getting moved this weekend. I will keep you all posted....
“…I don’t care what the situation is, take your own lickin’”
So says Coco Crisp. Mr. Maddon, don’t make Coco angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. Seriously, best quote ever, Coco! Great game to be at (Thank you Tru and Dale!!!!). Sox take two, so...
It’s as if we never said goodbye
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...
Three!!!
The way the BoSox have been playing on the road, there was a small part of me that didn’t believe for a minute they’d have a chance of sweeping the Orioles this weekend. Tonight, with...
Hello Richmond!!!!!
This wasn’t when he hit the 500th - but it was the same night! I’m sharing internet time and don’t want to hog it, so this’ll be not as long as I had planned (when I get home M...
“I forgot to pack”
This was the thought that woke me out of a dead sleep this morning. See, I have this trip to Baltimore that I’m leaving for tomorrow. Here’s how my week went: Monday: Spent the day in P...
Quickly
Well, that certainly sucked. Turning the page because I refuse to be bummed out about baseball when I’m going to Pawtucket! Charlie Zink on the mound (yes, leave it to me to go down the day BEFO...
Road Trippin’
Long weekend coming up (woo!) and a trip to Pawtucket is as well. On Monday (Memorial Day), I’ll be hitting McCoy with KellyO. I thought there might be a chance I’d see Justin Masterson ...
Private Eyes are Watching You
Last year, the day after Clay Buchholz pitched his no-hitter, Jon Lester was the starting pitcher. (I remember this. I was at both games.) So I’m hoping NEXT year, Josh Beckett is starting the...
LOL Umps
Wow. Tonight’s Mets/Yanks game is another example of why there should be limited use of instant replay in baseball. The thing that pisses me off the most (if you aren’t watching the game,...
Oh for the love of…
I mean really. Raise your hand if you knew Jay Payton was going to hit that grand slam. Okay. Fine. Let them get all the suck out of them in May, right? I can deal with that. PawSox got rained out...
