Why this video? Because now that the meaningless games are officially out the way, that’s what I want: an Encore.
And yes, I know this is two weekly features back to back. So sue me.
Anyway, this week’s edition of In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up With Current Events, such as it is, comes to [...]
As assumptions go, the one that says that everyone reading this knows we’re 1-1 for the season seems pretty unlikely to make an ass out of either you or me. It also seems reasonable to guess that you’re all aware that this week has yet to see a In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up [...]

The Fallback Plan, originally uploaded by sogrady.
Yes, I got gang probed this morning just like you did. Worse, I’m betting.
First, I overslept for an inning and a half. My bad. But when I finally did [...]

I’ll apologize for the delay in this week’s In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up With Current Events later. For now, you and I both have something better thing to do: namely, prepare for tomorrow’s season opener against the A’s.
For those of you bitching about the 6:05 AM start time, I hear you, but [...]
Every so often, Buster Olney - who is otherwise one of my favorite non-statistically focused baseball writers - careens off the rails into the type of mawkish story typical of the more traditional beat writers. So it was Thursday, I’d argue, when the headline to Olney’s blog read “Red Sox protest hurtful to fans.”
Huh.
At [...]
Those of you that have visited the SOG compound in Maine are already aware that I take wiffleball more seriously than the average bear (I’m already on a throwing program). Those of you who haven’t, well, the above video is for you. If they’re crazy, they’re crazy just like me.
Discovered via andWhammy, it’s an [...]

Jed Lowrie, SS, Hitting Third, originally uploaded by sogrady.
Bowing to the inevitable, I’ve basically accepted that this recurring feature is to become my own half-assed version of the Sunday Notes column pioneered by the inestimable [...]

Look, I don’t like them any more than you do, generally. But in all seriousness, would you wish their new owner on anyone? Even your worst enemy?
I’m not sure.
What’s he said now? Oh, just that the Rays have no justification for retaliating against his Yankees because they’re the beneficiaries of [...]

Best Catching Tandem in the Majors, originally uploaded by sogrady.
Let me get the first question out of the way: no, I have no idea what prompted this morning’s shocking-for-Sox-fans release of Dougie Parm. If you [...]

Beckett, originally uploaded by culhanen.
But you remember that Beckett news I had for you yesterday? The good news that he was better than anticipated the day after tweaking his back? Well, that’s over.
If I’d had [...]
Maybe it’ll become a Sunday tradition, this current events bit, but in the meantime, my apologies for the radio silence the past few days. First I was ambushed by some sort of evil cold/flu hybrid, and then I was up in the mountains where Atingular has decided against providing even basic connectivity.
Hopefully you haven’t [...]

Shot of the Back of the Park, originally uploaded by sogrady.
According to Evan Brunell, the ringleader over at Fire Brand of the American League, we’re about to lose the not-really-iconic Coke bottles from behind the [...]

Red Sox vanity, originally uploaded by sixes & sevens.
So Papelbon wants to get paid. And the club is reluctant to pay him more than they have to. Both of these things I know. What I [...]

Warmup, originally uploaded by Plutor.
If you’re craving reassurance with respect to the rough outings today from first Buchholz and then Hansen, well, you shouldn’t.
Repeat after me: it’s. their. first. outing. Against the pros, anyway.
But [...]
So I walked two miles through the freezing, blowing snow for a thin meal of gruel to bring you today’s entry. That, or I walked a hundred yards for Eggs Mazatlan.
At least the snow was real. Promise.
Anyway, we’ve got a full slate for this week’s In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up With [...]
