A week and a half ago, the Red Sox were three games out in the AL East and starting a series with the first-place Blue Jays. Three nights later, the Red Sox sent the Jays out of Fenway with their tails between their legs and on their way to a nine-game losing streak. If Jon [...]

I’m one of the few guys in the world who can’t stand watching The Three Stooges. But I do know this: If I had to watch an episode, I’d pick a Curly over a Shemp. That’s just a given. Last night’s game? That was a Shemp game. The kind you don’t even want to stick [...]

Cashman: ::opening the box:: We’ve got a May cold front moving in, Headwarmer. I’m officially taking you out of storage. Headwarmer: My God. How long have I been in there? Cashman: Three weeks or so. Headwarmer: Well it’s good to be back. Look, Boob, I’m gonna need a pack of smokes, some good whiskey, and [...]

Steroids? Denton, come on. The Captain is having a kick-ass season thus far — putting up numbers we long since assumed to be out of the grasp of his thick digits — and you want to shit on the parade by dropping the S word? Unthinkable. In fact, I have a far more plausible explanation [...]

Another night in Minnesota, another loss for the Red Sox. Setting foot in the Metrodome seems to suck the will to live out of the Red Sox. The bats go cold, the pitchers start throwing the ball around like little-leaguers, their hair loses its natural luster and their uniform pants ride up uncomfortably. It’s a [...]

Actually, better head to Minnesota instead. Because that’s where he’ll be. Hopefully washing away the memories of last night’s loss to the Twinkies. It’s been a pretty uneventful season thus far for young Matsuzaka, spending the bulk of his time on the DL and not looking terribly effective those few times he has pitched. But [...]

I could waste some of your valuable time talking about Jon Lester’s struggles or whether or not Papi’s found a home in the six hole (not to be confused with that thing Doug Mirabelli got arrested for back in the day). But this morning, I just ask that you join me to bask in the [...]

On Saturday evening I had the pleasure of spending some quality time with a group of faithful SG readers. It was everything I feared it would be: drunkenness, debauchery, civil disobedience and shenanigans of all sorts. In other words, a good time. I have been sworn to secrecy against using names or posting pictures, but [...]
