BoSox Blotter

It’s actually quite surprising to see the Sox in first place, still. I haven’t written for awhile, and neither has Shawn I knew earlier in the season that it would be hard to just pull away in the AL East, especially since D-Backs and Jays still chip at the ankles of the front runners […]

It was everything far from a pretty game. The Sox suffered two serious injuries; a strained obligue for Trot Nixon, and a ball to the head of Matt Clement. Both players were out of the game before it was half over and the Sox surrendered a 5-1 lead just as quickly. The return status on […]

It’s hard not to talk trades this time of year. The deadline is less than a week away and speculation from every team and every player seems to be status quo. Theo Epstein gets a lot of press about not being afraid to make the big-ricky deals. But, I think people give him too much […]

Let me say this first. Thanks Joe Crede for not using two hands. What kind of example are you setting for the youth of America? Manny showed everyone just what happens when you negate from the basics on a routine play. Chicago has been looking for a reason to dump this guy, so just keep […]

I was just reading this on ESPN.com and felt the same way. I miss last years team, the emotional connection, the community that was built:

Honestly, I would have been fine with bringing back last year’s nucleus, even if that meant four more years of the Derek Lowe Face and “Who’s Your Daddy?” chants. I also […]

We’re going through changes. Hopefully it turns out good for us. Embree has been designated for assignment and I’m sure that a few more will be heading that way. It’s hard to depart with someone who had such a big part in last years success but, this is business. Embree just hasn’t got it done […]

With teams as stacked as the Orioles, Yankees and Redsox, you’re bound to have some flipping and flopping. With the Sox latest win and the Yankees most recent loss, Boston finds itself back in first of the AL East. Schilling picked up his first save of the season, consequently the same day the Sox designated […]

3 for 30, 7 walks, 8 strikeouts and a run. No… not Bellhorn’s stats from last week. That was the production of the Red Sox in a 3-1 loss to the Tampa Bay Cellar Keepers, I mean Devil Rays. I usually write when something bothers me or I’ m frustrated. That is true. I am […]

This day has been coming for sometime, given the recent play by the Red Sox. Kazmir did it to us again, limiting the Sox bats to barely a run. Unfortunately, Wade Miller continues to throw a lot of pitches and give up more than his share of runs. Last night, however, he should have been […]

I can’t sleep, I can’t rest, and neither should the Sox. For two reasons: the play of late has been excruciatingly painful. And, we need to find that change, that little catalyst that motivates this ball club to perform at their potential consistently.

As I watch the Sox bumble around at the top of the AL […]
