We usually wait until opening day to pull this clip out. But because we’re about to embark upon the longest week of the year–one torturous week until Opening Day–I’m rolling with it right here and now. Because I need a little of this magic as I drag my ass out of bed and stare out [...]

Great piece in the ProJo about how Sox hurlers Brad Penny and Takashi Saito did a little male bonding back in their LA days over–what else?–”Hey Jude.” Penny liked to hunt. Saito said he didn’t do much but baseball. Wait, he said, he did sing a lot of karaoke, when he was back in Japan. [...]

Beckett’s work is complete against the Cards: four runs on six hits over six innings. He walked one, struck out fours, and dropped about 73 F-bombs while killing no one.

Cashman: (Waking up) What.. what happened? Headwarmer: You fainted. Cashman: I did? Headwarmer: Also, you pissed yourself. See your trousers? They’re wet with your own urine. I find that unfathomably awesome. Cashman: I don’t understand… Headwarmer: Look, you saw the guys finish off the Sox. You squealed, muttered something about cupcakes, then flipped backward over [...]

I love the fact that Schilling’s first post-retirement interview isn’t some sit-down in a bunker with Peter Gammons or the subject of a “very special episode” of Chronicle. Instead, the dude sat down with… G4, the video game channel. It’s a pretty cool and insightful piece, far more deserving of 10 minutes of your life [...]
