So the Red Sox are once again off to a great start. They have a pompous asshole as a manager, who people say is a great baseball mind. Well I have not seen it thus far. He left Bard in just a little too long the other night, last night he leaves Franklin…
Yes, actually we did. Unfortunately for us it is not the Cy Young winning starter from Exeter NH, but he is a way better pitcher than Theo. This Chris Carpenter is a 26 year old right handed relief pitcher that recorded some solid stats in the minors and in his 10 appearances in the majors (2.79 ERA)….
In honor of Tiger Woods playing his first round of golf in quite a while I figured I would write an off the subject post about the comparisons between him and Alex Rodriguez. Cheat on their wives- Check Do steroids- Ehhh Questionable but Check (where there’s smoke there’s fire Tiger) High Stakes Gambling- Check (what…
So Boston.com has this on the site today. Basically you answer a bunch of questions and they tell you what Red Sox player you are most like. I’m not really upset with the answer, I love Carl Crawford, but is Boston.com taking a swipe at him here? “Even if it arrives slower than you’d like.”…
Photo Courtesy: nbcsports.com By: Wild Thing Last week, Hall of Fame Red Sox manager Dick Williams pasted away. Now I know some of you out there are scratching your heads wondering, “Who in the hell is Dick Williams?” Dick Williams was known in Red Sox lore as the man with the “Impossible Dream.” In 1967,…
Hypothetical situation that will probably never happen because MLB wants to make the Dodgers as appealing as possible to the highest bidder, but what if the Dodger’s just decided to have a fire sale at the trade deadline? Who would the Red Sox want? Both Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier are free agents at the…
BY: Wild Thing As I was driving to work earlier this week, I was listening to Dennis & Callahan, and Jerry Callahan brought up the question, “Where is Manny Ramirez?” That question made me crack up, and I pondered what Callahan said. Since being out of the game for several moths now, I wondered, could…
So as it stands we have a struggling John Lackey, a hurt Dice K (blessing or curse?) and Clay Buchholz on the 15 day DL, but we also have a soon to be 45 year old knuckleballer who is the Red Sox secret weapon. If you told people before the season that the Red…
(Image from soxnation.net) BY:Wild Thing Although the Sox just ended their season high 9 game winning streak, Jacoby Ellsbury has proved to be Sox offensive catalyst. In his 5th year in the majors, Ellsbury has been on fire. Currently, he is ranked 3rd in Runs and 1st in SB in the American League. Though he…
This is quite the rivalry Alec. By the way I really loved the Mel Gibson impression you left on your daughters voice mail. Seriously I think NewEra needs to rethink this rivalry thing. Here’s an idea, how about the rivalry between ARods forehead and hair?? Boom roasted. The Sox started out 1-6 and we all…
-BY: Wild Thing Is Jonathan Papelbon getting a bad rap because of the media? Now if can recall, many media reports said that the 2011 season would be Papelbon‘s last season in a Red Sox uniform. Why would it be his last, what led to the media and Theo to doubt him on the mound?…
The Prick By: PTL Let me start off by letting you know it would be hard to find a bigger fan of Joshua Patrick Beckett than myself, to the point where I have wondered if asking my girlfriend to toss in a dip and wear like fifteen Phiten necklaces would be out of line. It…
