It’s come to the point that even John Lackey starts — which I once approached with a two-gallon jug of Maalox and high-grade anti-depressants — don’t unsettle me. Because even when the Lackster struggles early on and gives up, say, four runs over the first three innings, I just know his teammates are gonna pick [...]
While everyone has been watching the Bruins make their championship run, the Red Sox have been busy going from 0-and-six to first place in the AL East and the second best record in baseball. For most of the Sox the added attention is no big deal since most of the hitters are tearing the cover [...]
We’re the foot. Every other AL east team is the ass. Thank you.
I think everybody who has been reading this blog for a while knows I’m not a hockey fan. My fondest hockey memories are of watching Bobby Orr and the Bruins teams of the early seventies, courtesy of channel 38, on a fuzzy TV. Years later, I watched a bunch of young kids shock the world [...]
Yes, it does. And that sound is “winning.” Last night, while all eyes and ears and beer mugs were on the hockey game, Commander Kickass went out and threw one of the best games of his career, one-hitting the Rays and halting our losing streak at one game. The fact that the one hit he [...]
I have to be honest: seeing the Sox’ win streak end at the hands of Small Game James and the Cowbell Rays bothered me more than perhaps it should have. So I’m hoping that tonight the Sox can right the ship and put a little more space between them and the rest of the AL [...]
There is some speculation on whether or not Carl Crawford will hear cheers or jeers in his first appearance at the Trop since becoming a member of the Red Sox. My guess is there won’t be enough Rays fans to make a difference. If you hear cheers, it will likely be from the Sox fans [...]
Next up on the AL East Tour of Mayhem and Destruction: Tampa. The Red Sox have been dismantling the “competition” during their winning streak, why would anyone think the Rays can stop them? After the now-infamous 0-and-6 start, the Sox now have the second-best record in baseball, and they are doing it with authority. I [...]
I don’t want to take anything away from a great Mavericks championship team by saying the Heat choked. Dallas flat-out took it to the so-called big three and taught them a little something about class and professionalism on their way to the title. And it only made it sweeter to see D-Bag and Queen James [...]
How much can we really say about today’s smackdown? Seventeen more hits, 14 more runs, and an eight-inning two-hitter from Lester. So I turn my attention to the roundball game this evening. Lebron and Wade really lower the bar and once again prove they will never be the class of the NBA like Bird, Magic [...]
