And Starring John Lackey as the Guy Trying to Keep Us from Losing a Series to the Twins

May 9, 2013

So this has what it’s come to. One week ago we were all swilling drinks on the Love Boat, sizing up potential World Series adversaries. Tonight, we’re praying to God that John Lackey–yes, that John Lackey–can keep us from losing our sixth of seven games and the whole bloody series to the Twins. Oh, and [...]

That Was Then, This Is Now

May 8, 2013

The other day, while watching the Sox cough one up to the Twinkies, I started wondering aloud if this team was heading for a June swoon in May. But then I realized that April was an absolute f#$king embarrassment of riches. If anything, the Sox over-performed throughout the first month of the season, and it [...]

“I’ll Take Jap Anus Relations For 200″

May 7, 2013

        For the time being, the eighth and ninth innings belong to the Land of the Rising Sun. Bailey and Hanrahan out, Tazawa and Uehara in. Now we’ll see what the team is made of. The Sox bounced back after a brutal series in Texas to win an extra-innings game. Now they [...]

A No Win Situation

May 7, 2013

When you think about it, was there any chance that Buchholz was going to pitch well last night? After the “doctoring the ball” mind-f**k that was played on him, last night’s performance was about what I expected. I’m guessing everytime he went to the mound, he was thinking about not touching his forearm or the [...]

The Power of Home

May 6, 2013

C’mon, admit it. Ever since the Sox took off out of the gate like a rocket’s red glare, you were thinking of last weekend’s series in Texas. You had the dates memorized, already selling it to yourself as a contest of champions and a battle of the best records in baseball. As the first real [...]

Again, We Turn to Lester

May 5, 2013

The only thing standing between us and a sweep at the hands of Texas is Jon Lester. Even against Yu Darvish and that line-up, I like our chances. Like ‘em a lot. So there.

They Might Be (American League) Giants

May 4, 2013

As loses go, last night’s hosing by the Rangers was only a flesh wound. The Red Sox still have the best record in baseball, and if we can snag at least one of the games in this series, we’ll leave town with it. Of course, winning two games wouldn’t suck either.

Terrible in Texas

May 3, 2013

  Not even the dazzling red, short-sleeve shirts that Remy and DO were sporting could brighten up this night in Texas. Derek “Vote for Pedro” Holland shut down the Red Sox, holding them to six hits, all singles. Meanwhile, the Rangers were all over Felix Doubrant, sending him to the showers in the fourth. We [...]

May Day

May 2, 2013

Clay Buchholz has the most wins of all MLB starting pitchers, on the team with the best record in baseball, and he gets to go home to that. It does not suck to be Clay, but it doesn’t suck to be a Red Sox fan, either. I love watching these guys play.  After a brutal [...]
