BoSox Blotter

Many folks have been giving me some grief about the attention I seem to give Foulke and his struggles. But the bottom line is that I think he’s very capable, his consistency has left a great deal to be desired. I think that the last blown save wasn’t necessarily fair, he did go 1 and […]

No, I didn’t expect the winning streak to last forever. But I didn’t think we’d lose the way we just lost either. I was on cloud nine for awhile, and then I forgot that we still have some kinks in the bullpen, noteably Foulke. I can’t blame this lost entirely on him, but I’m growing […]

Well it’s everyone’s favorite time of the year. No not Christmas ( although last Christmas was sweet, because Theo Claus gave us a Captain). It the no-waver trade deadline. Some say don’t fix it if it’s in first place. But everyone knows that we have a real issue in the bullpen and possibly the rotation. […]

It’s only fitting. We went into Cleveland and ended their 9 game winning streak. They come to Boston and blow apart our 6 game streak. From the first AB I felt that this was going to be long night. Arroyo had 7 walks in June, 3 in 6 2/3 last night. His placement was off […]

It feels good to be King. It feels even better to know that Wakefield has been extremely consistent the last 3 starts. With tonight’s win over the Phillies the Sox moved ahead of the Orioles by a 1/2 game. To make things better for the night, Embree had another scoreless inning. Hopefully things can continue […]

Edgar Renteria practically willed the sweep tonight, with a homerun and a late inning RBI double to propel the Sox over the Indians for the sweep and move them within 1 game of the Orioles.

The real highlight might, however, be the performance from Wade Miller. He didn’t get the decision but it’s nice to […]

I was reading a blog at another site and it was about why Kevin Millar gets hit so often. The people came up with the thesis of it is because he is a replacement player from the strike in 94′. I didn’t know that. They were saying that maybe some pitchers/players still hold a grudge. […]

Check out this link. It shows the chance that each team has to make it all the way. The big surprise for me is the team that has the 2nd best chance for a championship.

The Sox stuck it to the Cleveland Indians again, this time 9-2 on the back of David Ortiz who slugged a couple of homers. I’m not sure I enjoy anything more than to watch the Sox win and the Yankees lose. But, I was stunned to see the Yankees throw-up a 13-run 8th inning and […]
