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,…
Reader advisory: These grades are based off how these players have performed based on the expectations I had for them going into the season. Pretty pumped to be on the giving end of some grades as opposed to the receiving. Catcher: B Jarrod Saltamacchia/ Jason Varitek: Despite a slow start Salty has been a pleasant…
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…
The Red Sox have had a little case of the J.D. Drews spreading throughout the clubhouse with with the likes of Crawford, Buchholz, and most recently Lester finding themselves on the the Disabled List. I attended the game Tuesday night and I almost thought I was watching a game from last season with Darnell McDonald…
It has become an extremely apparent problem around The Nation: John Lackey lives up to his last name. The veteran right-hander who had clinched the World Series for his team in 2002 was signed with the Red Sox in 2009 for a whopping 82.5 million dollars. We all knew that was going overboard for someone…
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…
Let me start off by saying I do not envy Tito’s position right now. Ortiz has been one of the best hitters in the American League this year and you obviously can’t sit him for like 6 straight series, the offense has been struggling during this NL tour, and you would have to be deranged…
Let me start off by saying I am not a fan of inter league play, watching the Mariners battle the Marlins just doesn’t do it for me, but that’s an argument for a different day. With that being said, every rule has an exception and the upcoming series between the Sox and Phils at Citizens…
Padres take two out of three from Sox after their 5-1 victory today. Not much to report here, Lackey pitched and there were like 16 rain delays. Lester goes on Friday in Blitzburgh. P.S. Lackey has to be the only pitcher in the bigs who can give up 5 runs in a hurricane
I know I am a couple days late, but deal with it. The Bruins bender continued at Fenway on Sunday, with Lord Stanley and the boys throwing out the first pitch before the Red Sox put a beating on the Brewers. I first want to say that I have never enjoyed a ride or a…
