April 2011

Especially when the M’s starting pitcher tonight was 0-9 with a 5.67 ERA in his last 13 starts. I just can’t think of any right now. 11-14. And the wheels of awesome have suddenly [...]

These days, I can’t watch a Red Sox game without thinking of that line from JFK where Kevin Costner says, “We’re through the looking glass, people. Black is white and white is black.” Because that’s what the month of April has been like for Sox fans. The first couple weeks, nothing made sense. The line-up [...]

I don’t care where this version of Dice-K Matsuzaka has been hiding for the past few years, let’s just make sure he sticks around. His last two outings have been…ace-like The win vaulted the Red Sox into a tie for third place in the AL East, and the pain of the ugly start is fading [...]
