This One’s For Shawn — Sveum Is Gone

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

Unfortunately, my good friend Shawn has now lossed three of his favorite members of the Red Sox this past season. First, it was Embree and Bellhorn that left to go to the Evil Empire. I know Shawn took a few good weeks to get over those departures. But, this may be the tale that tells […]

Pedro’s Act, Or Is He Happier

Wednesday, October 19th, 2005

It goes without saying that Pedro Martinez was very missed this past season on the Red Sox roster. His 217 regular season innings matched his previous year’s total, and he didn’t pitch the last two starts he would’ve been scheduled for had he not calle dit a season early since the Mets weren’t contenders. But, […]

Well, should Giambi, Bonds, and others be scheduling conjugal visits?

As Shawn wrote in many posts earlier, when there was a Red Sox season, steroids […]

Trot Nixon Undergoes Surgery

Tuesday, October 18th, 2005

I guess nearly everyone on the Boston Red Sox 2005 roster is going to be undergoing surgery at some point, if they haven’t already. The latter is the case with Trot Nixon, who had a little knee cleaning up recently. Apparently, there are many medical documentations thus far of how beat-up the Sox were through-out […]

Choices

Monday, October 17th, 2005

If you were the GM what would you do concerning our free agents?

Johnny Damon It’s been a great time with you in Boston, but if you don’t take a 3 year, 10 mil deal with a 1 year player/team option……we’ll have to let you go. You are getting older and have been injured lately. We […]

For Those Wondering About White Sox Post-Season Series Wins

Monday, October 17th, 2005

As many folks have heard, the White Sox, until this year, hadn’t won a post-season series since something like 1917. Then, many often ask, how did they get to the World Series in the late 50’s?

Answer: The LCS started in 1969 (correct me if I’m wrong)

A-Rod’s Mommy To His Rescue

Monday, October 17th, 2005

I got a kick, a hoot, and jolly good laugh from this one, and I bet you do to. Read the Fox Sports article about what A-Rod’s mommy says of his play.

No Papi At First

Friday, October 14th, 2005

You’ve must have heard the saying: if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. David Ortiz is the game’s most feared hitter right now. He has redefined the value of a DH. Move him to first base? Are you crazy? It’s not worth the risk. Just watch the guy run or slide, and tell me you […]

How Much Is He Worth?

Friday, October 14th, 2005

Theo and the brass are rumoured to be way apart in their negotiations on the next contract. Honestly, I think any GM making $2mm a year is making too much. Even with his missed opportunities, he’s one of the top GM’s in the league. He’s kept the farm system intact, and continues to make nice […]

A Time To Reflect

Friday, October 14th, 2005

It’s been a while since I’ve wrote. It has not been because we got swept. Or because I am a sore loser or bandwagoneer. I just wanted to take the time to reflect on 05′ and write without ( or less) anger. As everyone of you know, us Sox fans have had high expectations for […]
