The Importance of Being Nomar

by Red on February 15, 2010

Count me among those who were saddened to see Nomar Garciaparra entering the 2010 season on the brink of retirement (maybe). In fact, having watched him flail away through his utterly unspectacular post-Sox career, it’s hard to recall that the guy was once the pride of Boston, the epicenter of all things right with the [...]

Dream Big and Cross Your Fingers

by Denton on February 14, 2010

Just what guys need, a day devoted to disappointing their ladies. Because every other day of the year just isn’t enough. Let’s get something on the table right now: we know nothing about women. Whether it’s the new palpitation-inducing hottie we just met or the woman we’ve been married to for 20 years makes no [...]

Jerry Remy Incorporated, which has grown from a modest website selling T-shirts into a full-blown empire consisting of jet planes, robot dance squads and designer produce, is about to expand even further. This week, the Dawg unveiled a new bar and grill which will be launched in the space on Boylston that formerly housed BCN’s [...]

The Story So Far

by Red on February 12, 2010

So. Hi. Blogger’s going to be taking the dirt nap soon, kiboshing its FTP service for all who choose not to host on their Google servers. Denton and I are working to move this here flying circus to greener, less Big Brother-ish pastures, and in one of our first attempts to pull up the stakes, [...]

My Favorite Spring Training Memory

by Red on February 10, 2010

Back before the 2005 season, during a grapefruit league games on NESN, our man Denton proved how strong his pimp hand was by approaching Remdawg and DO in the booth to promote Surviving Grady: The Book. Rather than have Denton taken out in cuffs and beaten soundly — which I’m sure he could have had [...]

Youk Sighted in Fort Myers

by Red on February 9, 2010

Dan Roche tweeted something about Youk, Manny D and a few more Sox players working out at the team’s Fort Myers complex. All I know is, every day brings us closer to your birthday, Christmas and free hula hoop night at the homeless shelter, all rolled into one. Amazingly, I’ve never made the trek down [...]

One Step Closer To Baseball

by Denton on February 8, 2010

Now that the Superbowl is over, there is one less distraction to keep us from our beloved game. I believe a certain truck heads south on I-95 this Friday to “officially” kick off baseball season…at least for us fanatics. So let’s have the final word, at least on this site, on football. The Game: The [...]

Cut That Meat!

by Denton on February 7, 2010

Tonight is the night. The biggest game in sports. The most creative and expensive commercials. The entertainment spectacle of the year at halftime. OK, that’s going a little overboard, but you get the drift. Saints versus Colts should be a good game even if you don’t really care who wins. I don’t. The win would [...]

Jermaine, Tito, Michael and a Marlin

by Red on February 6, 2010

The folks at NESN recently pointed out that Jermaine Dye, whom the Sox coveted back in 2007, would be a nice addition to the 2010 bench, especially considering his numbers against lefties last season: .292 AVG/.382 OBP/.508 SLG. My interest in Dye, however, runs a bit deeper. Because landing Dye would push us just a [...]

The Friday iPod Shuffle

by Denton on February 5, 2010

It’s after 5:00 on Friday, time to flip your boss off for the last time (behind his/her back, of course) and go get your drink on. As I slide down the dinosaur’s tail, here’s what I’ll be listening to: Mr. Jones, Counting Crows: Great Friday kinda song. Also the subject of much debate over what [...]
