Tonight’s game (weather permitting of course) will be a reall battle of the ages. The Orioles have 23-year-old Zach Britton starting, while the Red Sox will trot out the Ageless One, 44-year-old Timmy Wakefield. Britton was tough on the Sox last month, going six and giving up just one run. But that was when the [...]

Couple weeks ago, we would have lost last night’s game. No question. The staggering amount of runners left on base. The inability to crack a timely hit. It was strikingly familiar. And for a minute, I feared we might be falling back on old, familiar ways. Then Adrian Gonzalez pounded us all in the tits, [...]

Yeah, it’s us, the Boston Red Sox. We’re just chilling out in third place for now. But Yanks and Rays, those footsteps you hear? Us again. Did you really think 0-and-6, or 2-and-10 was for real? How naive of you; I thought you knew us better than that. And for the record, we prefer not [...]

I hate to say I called it on our last podcast, but I called the motherf#$king shyte out of this weekend series. A sweep of the hated Yankees–in their house, no less–and a .500 record for the first time this season. And .500 has never felt so damn satisfying. Mostly because of how the guys [...]

And with the pitching tightening up and Adrian Gonzalez pulling an [...]

Watching a Fox broadcast of the Red Sox playing the Yankees is very similar to getting your annual physical during an alien abduction. Or so I hear. So adding a Red Sox fan to the booth to offset those two Yankee-fans-in-disguise buffoons should be an improvement, right? Not if that so-called fan is Sarah Silverman. [...]

So far this season, mostly good things have happened when Josh Beckett takes the hill. And I’m hoping that the good times continue tonight in the House that Ruth, Steroids and Junk Bonds Built. Repping the Bad Guys is “Yes Yes” Sabathia, and if that bloated cretin is the only thing standing between us and [...]

Screw the Bigelow Tea. Adrian Gonzalez revealed the secret to his recent tear: cheesesteak subs: “I had a great cheesesteak before the game that got me ready. They make some great cheesesteaks here (in New York). They definitely rival the Philly ones. I told them if I did good, it was going to be because [...]

What could be more appropriate than a Red Sox – Yankees series starting on Friday the 13th? And it’s a perfect time for a vintage donnybrook to break out and give the Red Sox the kick in the ass they desperately need. Something along the lines of Tek introducing A-Rod to his mitt a few [...]
