Being a Good Fan

Friday, July 15th, 2005

A good fan doesn’t get front row seats and then steal a ball from the home team! These people should be screened! I heard a long time ago, before Orcillo came on, that if it’s a playable ball let the home team make a play. If it’s the visiting team go for the ball! You […]

What A Schill

Friday, July 15th, 2005

We let it slip away, bottom line. I stand by my opinion that Schilling shouldn’t be back until he’s Schilling. His performance against the Yankees was evident that he’s not himself yet. Why you try him as a closer at this point, in his first appearance back from rehab appearances? Who the hell knows!

The offense […]

2nd Half Approaches

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

I haven’t yet filled out my 2nd half fantasy team roster yet, but I’ll do that before the day’s over. Subsequently I have more important things to ponder, like the upcoming REAL second half of the baseball season.

I’m not sure what’s going to go down for trades. I have heard many speculations, and near confirmations. […]

All - Star Break Good for Fans

Wednesday, July 13th, 2005

The All-Star break is sometimes better for players because it can be a turn around point in stats. It can also turn the other way. For me and probably most of the Nation, it’s a break from the stressful life of being a diehard fan. With the way our season has been riding this roller […]

To Close or Not to Close… That is the Question

Friday, July 8th, 2005

The past few days for Tito must feel like the apocalypse. On the day he makes one of the biggest decisions of the year (Schilling / Bullpen) most of his players turn on him. With not picking Matt Clement for the All-Star game and the final straw with Jay Payton. Of course Johnny Damon ( […]

Foulke Gets Knees Cleaned

Thursday, July 7th, 2005

Well, I don’t need to elaborate on the effectiveness of Matt Clement this year, thank goodness we signed him. Ramon Vasquez has been traded to Cleveland and Foulke had surgery.

Foulke’s surgery is serious on many levels. First, he needed and should have gotten it months ago. Second, the recovery time can be around 6 weeks […]

Foulke To Return For MRIs - Sox Return To Form

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

Manny and Ortiz were loving the number 20. For Manny it was his 20th career grand slam (2nd on all-time list and 4 away from 1st), and for David his 20th home run on the year. I wonder if Foulke’s flight to Boston is going to be with a 20 in it…

The worries are starting […]

Foulke’s Fault?

Tuesday, July 5th, 2005

Yes. Period.

Boomer Booms His Way Out - Foulke, Embree Throw Shutouts

Saturday, July 2nd, 2005

Anyone could see David Wells was shooting his mouth off quite a bit, and although I agree with him on the reasoning, he should have shut it a bit earlier. However, the 2nd base umpire should have never tossed him, especially after he had shut his mouth and turned away from the umps. I […]

Ok, No Time For Predictions Right Now ;)

Saturday, July 2nd, 2005

I am just like anyone, I love thinking about the awards at the end of the season. But I need to focus on the now at this time. The Sox dropping tonight’s game in such horrid fashion is disgusting. Do I think Vlad will get MVP — no idea. Do I think the Sox will […]
