Yankee Hangover

Monday, May 30th, 2005

I guess I’ve been on a bit of a Yankee hangover. I loved watching the Sox pound the Bombers so much that I haven’t written in awhile. Unfortunately, I can’t really gloat too much, seeing that the Sox dropped the series opener with the Orioles in a dismal fashion tonight, losing 8-1. Bronson Arroyo just […]

Congress: The Evil Empire?

Friday, May 27th, 2005

I’m a little puzzled about all of this. I guest the saying is ” good intentions, bad idea”. Doesn’t congress know that if they impose a 2 year suspension for first offense steroid use, it will cause a massive strike, not only for baseball but all the sports. Let’s just talk baseball. Do they think […]

Arroyo Finally Loses, Sox Offense Continues To Lack

Thursday, May 26th, 2005

It was only a matter of time before Bronson Arroyo would lose a game, after all, he did go 18 games without a loss. I’m sure the extra day of rest due to his suspension allowed him to be a bit rusty out of the gate. The lack of offensive production and continually leaving runners […]

Pix From DoubleDay Field in Cooperstown

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Here are some pictures captured from the Hall of Fame Game between the Detroit Tigers and the Boston Red Sox at DoubleDay field in Cooperstown, New York. The Sox lost 6-4, but it was an entertaining game. The regulars on both teams were excellent for the fans, crowd pleasing to everyone’s delight. The minor leaguers […]

Sox Drop It In The 9th

Wednesday, May 25th, 2005

Wells still needs to show up, big time. Unfortunately I don’t think he will for quite some time. Giving up 5 runs over 7 innings is pitiful for a big-game pitcher, who has yet to have a big game. I’m optimistic that when warm weather comes this team is going to start tearing it up. […]

Miller Gets First Win

Friday, May 20th, 2005

After having two strong outings previous to this one, Wade Miller throws well again to earn his first win of the season. He gave up only 3 hits over 6 1/3 innings. He allowed only 1 run while picking up 5 k’s. The way Miller’s been throwing, if he continues to build strength, the […]

Wells Return Not So Well

Thursday, May 19th, 2005

This game can go without saying, the Sox continue to be pitiful, one way or another, while on this road trip. David Wells’ return to the starting rotation was anything but decent. Unfortunately, his performace but the game out of reach of any offense within the first couple of innings.

Wells ended the day after surrendering […]

Arroyo Will Serve Suspension

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

Ok, I’m late to talking about this, but only because most people knew this was going to go down. Bronson Arroyo has dropped his appeal in regards to a suspension dealt him after he hit a Tampa Bay Devils Ray batter late in the game after warnings had been issued to both teams.

It’s assumed that […]

Wells Returns To Finish A’s

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

It appears everything is on schedule with pitcher David Wells. At the time of his injury, doctors said he could miss 3-6 weeks, and he’s back at the end of 3 weeks. The last time Wells was on the DL he returned to pitch 2 gems in his first 2 appearances. I’ll be looking for […]

Sox Win By Way Of Walks

Wednesday, May 18th, 2005

What do you do when the team’s not hitting? Well, you take the abundance of walks that you’re given and you make the most of ‘em. That’s what the Sox did to the A’s and it’s a good thing because the offense has kind of fallen silent lately.

A game that seemed to take forever, at […]
