The rest was history as they would go on to reverse the curse and win the 2004 Championship! read more

Sox Reach 80-Win Plateau and it’s Only Early August

August 9, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Considering that baseball teams play a 162 game season (the longest schedule in sports), when a team crosses the 80 win plateau they essentially assure themselves of a successful season.

At the very least they have won half of their games and are guaranteed of finishing with a .500 winning percentage or better. read more

mookie betts MVP

Betts is the Bet for MVP in 2018

June 12, 2018 / / 0 Comments

We all knew Mookie Betts was good.  But did we know he was this good?

Through 48 games (not quite a third of the season), Betts is batting .359, with 17 HR, 37 RBI, and an earth shattering OPS of 1.187.

Extrapolate those numbers over a full season, and Mookie is on pace to put up a tremendous season–if he continues even close to this pace, he could be looking at a 50 HR, 120 RBI type season.  Oh, and we don’t even care if he participates in the home run derby. read more

May 24, 2018 / / 2 Comments

Bummer.  Mookie Betts won’t participate in the Home Run Derby.  It would have been fun to see him out there but it sounds like he doesn’t want any part of it.

Plus, word now that JD Martinez has also said he doesn’t want in on the derby. read more

Red Sox are Fantasy Gold Jerry…Gold

May 24, 2018 / / 1 Comment

If you grew up watching Seinfeld, you might remember this one

gold-jerry-gold

And well, that’s what some key members of the Sox have been this year in Fantasy baseball lineups–GOLD.

As this article from Sports Illustrated notes:

Betts and Martinez are hitting a ridiculous .354/.417/.719 with 30 home runs. Both would have to be included on the short list of AL MVP candidates through the first two months of the season, along with Mike Trout, Aaron Judge and, of course, Ramirez and Lindor. It’s hard enough for pitchers to deal with one player like Betts or Martinez. When they have to see two, it’s nearly impossible to navigate the top half of a lineup. read more
