I gotta say, it was good to see li’l Petey out doing God’s work last night against the LA Dodgers. Although I’m convinced the Powers That Be want a Yankees-Dodgers series — which would no doubt make it convenient for those waiting to launch a killer robot strike on the Stadium — I was rootin’ [...]

Brad Searles is the guy behind Bradley’s Almanac, one of the premier local music blogs. He’s also a long-time friend of SG, which is why we were particularly saddened to hear that his wife Amie was recently diagnosed with breast cancer.

While this wasn’t the first time the Red Sox were one out away from closing the deal only to turn around and kick me in the jimmy, I was surprised at how quickly this one slipped through our fingers. One minute, I’m clearing up my schedule for Monday night, telling those orphans that they’re just [...]

Haven’t we been here before? Yes, we have. We’ve been thrust in the corner, had our backs up against the wall, watched helplessly as opposing pitchers hung Mark Bellhorn from Pesky’s Pole by his underwear. And each time it happened, we rallied. Turned it around. Made the hunter the hunted and dismissed them with one [...]

Our offense has officially gone Amelia Earheart, lost somewhere over the Bermuda Triangle, locked in an abandoned warehouse uptown, or blazing across state lines with a pick-up truck full of college chicks. And until it comes back, we ain’t goin’ anywhere. We’ve managed an embarrassing eight hits over 18 innings with everyone up and down [...]
