Off to run the marathon. Go Sox!

Remember that time the Sox won two in a row? Me either, it hasn’t happened yet this season. Maybe today.  If I had to put my money on anyone to follow a Commander Kickass beatdown with one of his own, it would be Jon Lester. Here’s today’s line-up: Carl Crawford, LF Dustin Pedroia, 2B Adrian [...]

I spent the better part of Saturday morning shaking off a nasty hangover, slowly getting feeling back in my extremities after freezing in the right field boxes Friday night, and worrying that this Red Sox team might be closed for business by June. Then Beckett and Lowrie happened, to remind me that if these two [...]

I’m sure Tito had more than a few games like yesterday’s in mind when dreaming about this season, all snug in his Red Sox footie pajamas and a belly full of warm Bigelow Tea. Seven strong from the starter, Bard in the eighth, Papelbon closing it out. The only run Beckett gave up was an [...]

Say what you will about Hedley Lamaar… the guy knew how to put together a kick-ass team. You think a team with bulldykes, Methodists and shitkickers would be 2-9? Neither do I.

As much as I hate a night without Red Sox baseball, it might not be such a bad thing to get a rainout tonight. A couple days for the Sox to…collect themselves…might just help. At 2-9, it sure as hell can’t hurt. Especially with John Lackey as the scheduled starter, he of the 15.58 ERA. [...]
