Lost Chances, Cost Sox — Yankees Continue To Roll

Tuesday, May 17th, 2005

Perhaps I’m a bit preoccupied with the Yankees and their seemingly endless winning streak, but I hate seeing so many runners left on base in what otherwise was a game we should have won. Millar gets a much needed day off, and he’s definitely one of the better hitters with runners on, the team can’t […]

And The Sox Came Back, The Very Next Day

Sunday, May 15th, 2005

After losing big time yesterday to the Mariners, the Sox returned with a strong pitching performance (nothing spectacular) from Wade Miller to defeat the Mariners 6-3. With the exception of the last 2 runs, which happened to be back to back homers by Richie Sexson and Raul Ibanez , Miller threw well through 5 and […]

Yankees Could’ve Used Vazquez This Year

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

I love to watch the Yankees struggle. I enjoy having to strain my eyes down the standings list to find them just above Tampa Bay. In fact, I’m not sure what I enjoy more, the Sox being only a game and a half back, or the utter frustration the Evil Empire must be experiencing with […]

Clement Still Unbeaten

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

Matt Clement had another successful performance for the Red Sox, this time getting his first victory against the Athletics. In his appearance, Clement went 7 innings, scattered 5 hits, and only gave up 1 run. His ERA is now 3.06.

I don’t know if I can say Clement is now accustom to pitching at Fenway, because […]

Red Sox Roll It In The 9th

Thursday, May 12th, 2005

After gaining a 3 run lead, Keith Foulke entered to save the game in the ninth inning and quickly blew the save, giving up 4 runs. Fortunately our captain stepped up to hit a game winning, walk-off home run in the ninth.

With the highest ERA of any closer, my worries about Foulke are growing with […]

So Good, So Good!

Wednesday, May 11th, 2005

That’s the song, and Millar now has 2 home runs in back-to-back games. What makes his last blast special is that it was in the nineth inning when the Sox were about to lose the game. With Millar’s 2nd home run on the season, the Red Sox were able to win the ball game 3-2.

Unlike […]

Manny Mishap, but Kevin Millar Gets First Homer En-route To Topping Athletics

Tuesday, May 10th, 2005

Manny Rameriz was struck by an 81 mph pitch in the side of the head in the first game of the series with the A’s. Although there are no symptoms of a concussion, the Sox will be monitoring Manny Rameriz.

On the brighter side of things, the Sox picked up a 13-5 victory and Kevin Millar […]

Miller’s Debut, Not Enough To Please

Monday, May 9th, 2005

Wade Miller’s return to Major League Baseball was more than decent, he threw 5 good innings. Unfortunately, the Sox ended up losing the game 6-4 after 21 year old Cla Meredith gave up a grand slam to Sexson. The Red Sox were not able to come back from that deficit, despite scoring a couple of […]

Clement Improves To 4-0, Yankees Lose

Saturday, May 7th, 2005

I’m torn right now. I’m not sure if I want to write more about Clement throwing a gem and the Sox coming alive to blast 7 runs, or to harp on the Yankees a bit for losing 8 of their last 10 and having the worst start in franchise histroy since 1966. The Sox pounded […]

The Proposed New Fenway

Friday, May 6th, 2005

I’m not sure if many people knew that before Henry and the boys bought the Sox there was a lot of talk of a new Fenway park. A friend of mine sent me this link with some sketches of what it would’ve looked like, along with its specs.

I don’t know, I like Fenway. I like […]
