Free Bee

Friday, August 19th, 2005

Matt Clement’s last start will go in the books as, well, not being a start at all. He is probably thankful for that as he was on his way to be routed by the ChiSox. His location was bad and his strikes caught too much white on the plate. Clement has been fairly good in […]

New Episode, Manny Returns To Being… Manny?

Friday, August 19th, 2005

First off, I’m not blaming Manny for the last last night (despite a very costly error and some strike outs). I don’t hold it against Wakefield either. I don’t even hold Millar accountable, despite the fact that he is struggling tremendously (he did get a hit and a RBI). The Sox as a team had […]

Boiling Away

Thursday, August 18th, 2005

Wells just didn’t have it. Frankly, he needs to have it. I don’t remember the last time there was a first place team without an ace in their rotation. I’m not expecting Wells to be the ace, but yesterday’s first inning was as far from where we need him to be this time of year […]

Boiling Hay-Makers

Monday, August 15th, 2005

Half-way through August and the Sox have been winning consistently. The play has not been superb, but perhaps that little myth about chemistry does actually work since they have been winning.

This year’s squad still has a mix of characters, an entire host of idiots. In addition, there is an assortment of veteran players that have […]

Right Where We Want Em’

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

As the dog days of summer are almost half over we got a 5 1/2 game lead in the division and the Yankees are sinking faster than the ball in times square on New Year’s Eve. All though we have been winning, it’s been pretty ugly. But the key word is winning. The unearned runs […]

Our Test Begins

Thursday, August 11th, 2005

It’s been looking for awhile like the ChiSox would be the team to go through this year. We split the series with them earlier in the season, but tomorrow night we get Mark Buehrle (13-4, 2.79 ERA), and on Saturday we get Jon Garland (16-5, 3.29 ERA). Two top-notch pitchers having career seasons. I think […]

This Year’s Cabrera

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

Last year Orlando Cabrera brought something special to Boston. It took maybe a week and he became a fan favorite. With his outstanding defense and electric personality, he helped deliver the Red Sox to the promise land. The same is now holding true now with Tony Graffanino. While not as dramatic as Cabrera, Graffanino […]

How Good Are Things Going?

Tuesday, August 9th, 2005

We’ve won something like 11 of the last 14 games, not bad… When you consider how the Sox don’t have a dominant ace, you might start to wonder how long can we keep going like this. Unfortunately, our starting rotation has been anything but spectacular on a consistent basis. Clement, who happens to lead the […]

Bellhorn is 0 - 12 with 5 Ks and .077 OBP in AAA Pawtucket. The guy still sucks. Go Tony G!

Juice

Friday, August 5th, 2005

I read allot of post sites and I submit allot of comments. One subject that gets me worked up a bit is ” Which Sox are on the Juice.” For one, the steroid topic isn’t a real big deal to me. I don’t approve of it, but it doesn’t make me want to stricken every […]
