Crunching Numbers

Monday, September 19th, 2005

Well, we’re at a point in the season where I’m a bit surprised by, actually. All season it seems we’ve been waiting. Waiting for the team to click. Waiting for an identity. Waiting for the injuries to stop happening so rampantly. Waiting for a steady run of victories. Waiting, waiting, waiting…

I don’t think now’s the […]

Who’s That Knocking At Our Back Door

Friday, September 16th, 2005

Being in control of the division certainly isn’t something the Red Sox are used to, not since ‘95 anyway. I’m not used of it either. But, with the Yankees winning 4 in a row and sweeping their nemesis, the Devil Rays, we may be hearing a very familiar knock reminiscient of 2002 if we don’t […]

In the Tank

Thursday, September 15th, 2005

You all have got to wonder. How many game winning hits does Big Papi have in the tank? It’s amazing. This guy is the frickin’ Energizer Bunny of the clutch! He just keeps going and going! Just when you think it’s going to be a long night Ortiz steps up gets a big hit, whether […]

Unecessary Losses Must Be Avoided

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

Last night’s lost was not a heart-breaker by any means. But, seeing the Yankees move within 2.5 games is worrisome as I’m hoping that gap will widen considerably ’til the end of the season showdown at Fenway. I guess it does make for some play-off-run baseball excitement, but I’m so used to being on the […]

Needed Bounce Back

Tuesday, September 13th, 2005

Ok, I promise I won’t spend this post second guessing Francona, even though I know I wouldn’t be a lone. I will say, however, that last night’s win, especially against Lilly, was fairly important for the Sox for a number of regions. The next 19 games are number crunching games, how many can we win […]

Weekend Outlook

Friday, September 9th, 2005

This coming weekend will be one of the best weekends this year for sports entertainment. It’s week 2 for NCAA Football, opening weekend for the NFL, NHL tickets go on sale and our beloved Red Sox visit the Bronx for 3 games which will either make it a close division race or race with a […]

Rotation Starting To Deliver

Thursday, September 8th, 2005

The poor Red Sox rotation, and the bull pen for this matter, have taken a brunt of criticism. For their sake, they’ve performed exceptionally well as of late, leading many to believe that, perhaps, they are all starting to find their grooves.

Without jumping to conclusion, and being the superstitious baseball fan that I can be, […]

This Team Can Win It All

Wednesday, September 7th, 2005

There’s been many a-speculation that this team doesn’t have everything clicking enough to win it all. As we all should know by now, things can click as quickly as the next game. The tools (i.e. the players) on this ballclub are exceptional. They are ball players of an elite breed where individuality falls second to […]

Boom’d Past Orioles, Schilled Chicago Experience

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005

It was nice to see David Wells return from his suspension with the performance he had over the Baltimore Orioles, a team that we often struggle with. Now, I’m not anywhere close to being David’s age, but that has to be quite an achievement to go a full game with a victory when you’re over […]

Donate What You Can

Monday, September 5th, 2005

Victims of Hurricane Katrina are attempting to recover from the massive storm. American Red Cross volunteers have been deployed to the hardest hit areas of Katrina’s destruction, supplying hundreds of thousands victims left homeless with critical necessities. By making a financial gift to support Hurricane Katrina Relief efforts, the Red Cross can provide shelter, […]
