Well, I don’t even know where to start. You’re screwed. You missed 1.) a sweep of Tampa, 2.) a brawl with Tampa, 3.) a brawl between Manny and Youk (not joking), 4.) an injury to Ellsbury, 5.) progress from Schill, 6.) held breath on Papi, 7.) two more good starts from Masterson and so on. [...]

Manny hit his 500th. In a Red Sox uniform. Which given that he was placed on unconditional waivers just a few years back, probably qualifies as mildly surprising. Kudos to Manny for this achievement, it’s a real benchmark.
One that, frankly, makes me appreciate just [...]

I haven’t. Well, actually, that’s not entirely true. I’ve been keeping up, I just haven’t been writing here to keep all of you up to date with [...]

Yes, I’m a couple of days late with this, but did you really want me to post something on Sunday? Trust me, you did not. Besides, I’ve been a little busy preparing for a cross-country move.
Anyway, In Case You Haven’t Been Keeping Up With Current Events, we lost five [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

“We’re not going to forget, as an organization, that he’s the incumbent.” - Terry Francona
Around 8:01 in the above video, Tito reminds us of Crisp’s value. A reminder that would seem to be well aimed, given the propensity of many - yours truly included - to regard the trade of the incumbent as something of [...]

Or, the inaugural edition of a recurring series.
The Beckett Update
Meant to mention this last week but, well, you know how it goes. If you haven’t seen it yet, Peter Gammons spoke with one member of the Red Sox front office who’s of the opinion that after Beckett’s current deal expires in 2010, we’ll be [...]

This is a precursor to the trade of one Covelli Crisp, correct?
Given that Kielty (pronounced “KELL-ty”, I think) said earlier: “I really need to play in the best situation. With Coco not there, it is a very good situation for me in terms of playing time. But with Coco there, it’s not an ideal [...]
