Manny wasn’t the only former Sox in the house last night; Roger Clemens was strategically positioned in the Monster Seats, drink in hand, listening device in ear and cute brunette at his side. Today, don’t be surprised if you see Mark Bellhorn selling slushies in the Bleachers or Carl Everett working the organ. On the [...]

Jon Lester goes for win number eight, and with a little help from 70-year-old Jamie Moyer, hope to gain some ground in the AL East. Lester is coming off one of his worst outings of the year, but should bounce back strong against the free-swinging Diamondbacks. The Sox faced the best of Arizona’s starters last [...]

For every person in the world, there must be a polar opposite. Why? How the f%&k should I know? Save your questions for Dennis Quaid and allow us to introduce… Tim Wakefield and the Anti-Tim Wakefield! Hi. I’m Tim Wakefield. F#$k you. I am the Anti-Tim Wakefield. Meaning I represent Wakefield’s darker side, and embrace [...]
