Aaaand the Pitch!, originally uploaded by TheBusyBrain.
We could talk about Game 4, but why? It’s not as if it would be news to you. You saw Lester do his thing, Varitek tag Willits, and Lowrie single off the same Shields that made him look foolish at the game I attended. And you went nuts just [...]
I’ll admit it: seven hits in 12 innings was not precisely what I had in mind for my first in person postseason appearance at the park this season. After all, I brought a lifetime 5-1 playoff record to Fenway last night. I recognized that the Angels pitching was excellent - and that our offense can [...]
Speaking for each and every one of us, Denton said this:
F#@KING JD DREW WHOM I LOVE LIKE A BROTHER OR PERHAPS A WOMAN OF QUESTIONABLE BACKGROUND AFTER I’VE HAD MANY DRINKS JUST DRIVES A TWO-RUN HOMER OUT OF THE PARK AND THE RED SOX TAKE THE LEAD HOLY SHIT I’VE LOST IT
So let it be [...]
I love being wrong. Truly. Particularly when it results in us taking the first game of what will be a tough series, whoever ends up moving on.
While I focused on his poor showing against the Angels this season in my preview, Lester battled through some early command problems, settled down, and essentially destroyed a [...]

Papelbon Pitches, originally uploaded by waldoj.
Let’s get a couple of things out of the way. Papelbon is absolutely correct: this game is not the end of the world. Red is right that “that shit’s just [...]

In the words of Peter Griffin, “That kill me? Yeah, I was afraid of that.” Instead of a discount surgeon this time, however, it was vacation.
But I’m back now. And badder than before. Hope all you guys are getting this via a feed rather than regular visits.
Anyway, ahl has requested a remaining schedule analysis. [...]

The blues, originally uploaded by jurek d..
We got swept. By the A’s. It sucked. I don’t know about you, but I liked it better when we were sweeping folks, rather than getting swept.
As if [...]
We just got our asses kicked, pal. As previously discussed.
But what profit is it to dwell on our sub.500 record after a mere seven games? Let’s be mature about the situation, and indulge rather in our usual Sunday habit of Sox related news and anecdotes and Cafardo bashing.
Blue Plate Special
We’re old, or so says Major [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]

A great many words have been written regarding Matsuzaka’s transition from Japanese league phenomenon to Boston Red Sox starting pitcher. Way too many, in all probability. So all that I will say regarding said transition was that it was more or less what I expected. A bit less consistent than I might have predicted, and [...]
