Very sweeeeeeeet game last night.  It wasn’t just the fact that they his four homers in a row (7th time that’s happened in the history of baseball) — it was that 3 of them still haven’t come down yet.  Lowell racked up two round-trippers (he’s only has one home run this season so up until last night). Add to that: … Read More

Kansas City 7 – Bosox 1.  Ugh. Well, the bad news is we lost.  The good news is that we’re tied for second in the AL East. Schilling blogs about his performance yesterday on his blog: Not sure where to even start. Two words sum it up best, no command. Can’t remember a game where I couldn’t make adjustments but … Read More

Red Sox fans might be interested to know that Curt Schilling has started a blog, and it’s pretty good.

I don’t even have plans for the weekend, and I usually plan things well in advance according to the broadcast schedule. Not anymore. Stick a fork in me. I’m done. I won’t be watching any baseball … Read More

Ooops.  Did I say "signs of life"?  Maybe not: Ortiz confirmed an Internet report that he … Read More

Over The Monster: Posted Friday 8/18 in the morning, before Game 1: Here we go. Five games. Four days. It’s mid-August, but it sure feels like a lot of the season rides on this series. GO SOX! Posted Friday 8/18 in the early evening, before Game 2: OK, so the first game went less than great. It went the way … Read More

And the hits keep on comin’. UPDATE:  Mom says the record is 15, set back in 1946.

Sorry, Pedro.

I’ve never cared much for interleague play . . . until now.

Damon was Faust. Mirabelli entered deus ex machina. Loretta came through in the clutch (again). Papi parked it despite the wind. Everytime these guys meet, it’s exciting.
