September 2011

Was last night’s thumping of the Orioles the beginning of the turnaround that’s gonna drive us into the postseason? Or just a law-of-averages blip on the radar before we slide back to our under-performing ways? All I know is we’re in “one game at a time” mode. And Erik Bedard’s on the hill tonight. Drink [...]

As much as it pains me to say it, the Red Sox are done. I will root for them as tirelessly as I have all season, but today’s game tells the tale. This team is missing whatever it is; heart, guts, mental toughness…that makes a championship team. Carl Crawford bowing out of the game with [...]

This is the post in which I tell you that I’ve stopped tearing what’s left of my hair out over the 2011 Red Sox. Because they’re going to make the playoffs. Yes, Tampa Bay is scrappy. Tenacious, even. Making things interesting as the guys on morning radio like to say. But they’re not taking our [...]

Hey, 2004 Red Sox. WTF?! First Manny Ramirez gets arrested for allegedly tossing the missus, now Curt Leskanic, cult hero and player of the role of “wacky neighbor” in various episodes of Ellsbury & Elf, gets DUI after drinking his weight in cheap brew and then deciding to take the car [and daughter] out for [...]
