Damon Deserves To Start All-Stat Game

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

Some might think that I’m posting an unreasonable number of articles about Johnny Damon lately, but the guy is having a killer year. He is currently in Fourth on the All Star ballot for starting outfielders. For some strange reason, Manny seems to be in the lead of the lineup. Now, I like Manny and […]

Medical Steroids

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

A couple of years ago while I was stationed in Japan with the USMC, I was fortunate enough to play baseball with a AA Japanese Business league club. While playing for the Iwakuni JMSDF team I injured my shoulder. I spent 1 year and 4 or 5 months in physical therapy (PT) pre and post […]

Sox Bats Save Foulke — Manny Is Still Manny

Tuesday, June 21st, 2005

The Sox took on the Cleveland Indians like true World Champs - they completely ignored the fact that the Indians were riding a 9 game winning streak into the ball park with C.C. Sabathia on the mound. They racked up double digit hits and runs, and sneaked away with a 10-9 victory. David Wells was […]

Is Damon Working For More Doe???

Monday, June 20th, 2005

Johnny Damon appears to be having a career year. He’s delivering on all fronts — field, running, at the plate, on the TV, in commercials… am I forgetting anything. Unfortunately I don’t know if he’ll return to the Sox next year. Despite putting up career numbers, I don’t see the Sox management offering him a […]

For All Those Who Doubt & Those Who Side With Me

Friday, June 17th, 2005

Now I’m not a Bellhorn fan perse, but I think he gets a tough wrap because he strikes out so much. But I really agree with this repsonse from Ian Browne on RedSox.com .

Sox Continue To Win

Friday, June 17th, 2005

The Red Sox now have a 4 game winning streak heading into the opener with the Pirates. Wade Miller will look to extend the streak, and as it is now the Sox are up 4-3 in the 4th inning.

The offense appears to have some things clicking for them, mainly Kevin Millar and Manny Rameriz are […]

My First Game At Fenway

Friday, June 17th, 2005

It’s taken me awhile to get around to write this, but I wanted to make sure my thoughts were clear. I was fortunate enough to attend the gem of a game the Sox had against the Reds on Tuesday the 14th at Fenway. Besides the great pitching performance from David Wells (the 1-hitter), and the […]

Lady Luck is with the Sox

Monday, June 13th, 2005

As bad as this season feels it could be a whole lot worst. The Sox are only about 3 - 5 games off last years pace. Right now we should be about 10 games behind. Lady Luck has granted bad fortune on the Yanks and the O’s caught a little whiff of bad luck […]

How The Sox Starters Continue To Blow Games

Friday, June 10th, 2005

With the exception of David Wells last outing, the starting rotation for the Sox has been pitiful. Bronson Arroyo’s start today against the Cubs was sickening. This guy has not gotten it back together since he served his suspension, and he was the ace of the staff for a little while. Clement finally had his […]

How the Networks Can Ruin a Classic Game

Friday, June 10th, 2005

Game one is being done the right way. A day game. The way it is meant to be in Wrigley Field. Friday marks the first time the Sox and Cubs have played in 87 years. That alone makes this a game for the ages. It wasn’t until 1988 that Chicago put lights in the second […]
