BoSox Blotter

I have no analysis for this weekend. We’ve seen the Sox and Yanks play close to 70 games against each other since 2003. You cannot expect anything. They are the two most unpredictable teams when they play each other. They just teeter totter wins and loses.

All I know is that the season is now. Everyone […]

After last night’s must-have win, virtue of a dramatic comeback, the Sox begin the last series of the season and it’s against those damn Yankees. The bombers are hot, no doubt about it. Many have said they have the advantage with pitching this weekend, and it’s a must win series for both clubs… does it […]

If I had a 90+ MPH fast ball, I’d throw it. Craig Hansen had a pretty good slider last night, his most effective and uneffective pitch of the night. His lack of use of his fastball didn’t cost the game, even though it hasn’t popped the upper 90’s since his debut. I think, again, some […]

The year was 2003, and they were cowboy-ing up. Unfortunately a dismal extra-innings game 7 in the League Championship Series knocked the cowboys off their horses for good that year.

The year was 2004, and they were idiots. Few of them could find their way to a barber to get a decent hair-cut, but a World […]

Essentially it is a best of seven series, starting tonight. We have the home field advantage. Both teams are hot, even though one may be a little cooler than the other. Here’s the test.

Will the Jays play like this is their World Series? They’ve played us way to hard this year and I don’t think […]

Ok, so the team has had its injuries all year long, but I needed to post about this interesting study USA Today published today:

n a letter today in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, the scientists reported that emergency department visits were about 15% lower than expected during the highest-rated games: the seventh and final ALCS […]

Ok, I’m tired of the “protection” clause. I’m not holding back on this one. Seldom do I want to criticize a manager or organization, but I think the numbers, performance and healthy-ness of the Sox pitchers just screams to give the young guys the ball. From John Papelbon, to Craig Hansen and Manny Delcarmen. Their […]

As most of you that read this blog ( 3 maybe?) know, that there are two people that do most of the writing. Mike, who is the creator of the site and a good friend of mine, and myself. While we are not professional writers to any stretch of the imagination, we are avid Sox […]

Last night’s 8th inning melt-down was another disappointment in a recent string of let-downs by the BoSox. With the defeat against Tampa Bay, the Sox are now a 1/2 game back (most likely will be a full game by tonight’s end) in the Division, and a full game back in the Wild Card.

With all the […]

Last night’s lost just plain sucks. Wells’ inability to be effective hurt the team out of the stretch. Damon (yes, that should have been caught) and Renteria’s errors compounded the problems and continue to plague a team that is weak defensively (too late to get Cabrera back). The offense scored enough runs, I mean we […]
