Manny Wants Meeting With Theo and Execs

Thursday, October 13th, 2005

Perhaps there may or may not be any truth to the abundent number of rumors floating around about Manny Rameriz. It seems the future Hall of Fame slugger has asked for a meeting with Theo and the big boys to get an understanding of the clubs intentions for the future. I don’t know if they’ll […]

Wells For Roberts Trade

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Many rumors are out that if David Wells does not retire, he’d like to go back west and pitch. I believe, maybe, even for the Padres.

The Sox may be losing 1 or 2 everyday outfielders. Who likes the idea of a trade for Dave Roberts?

Hmmm… possibly.

And Who’s Not A Star Wars Fan?

Wednesday, October 12th, 2005

Jim Caple, of ESPN.com, said, ‘’I'm just happy and relieved we don’t have to go through it again with the Red Sox and Yankees. I enjoyed the first two, but this would be like ‘Star Wars III’ with the little bears in it. It was good, it was fun, but it played itself out. I […]

A Changing of The Guard

Tuesday, October 11th, 2005

So it happened. The two powerhouses of the AL East were eliminated in the Division Series. Last night the Angels took it to the Yankees and advanced to the ALCS. At least of the top 3 payrolls in MLB will have a shot at the League Pennant.

Everyone knows how much money the Yankees […]

The Sox Are Out of The Post Season, Who’s In Next Season?

Monday, October 10th, 2005

I hate to admit it, but the season is over. No longer are the Red Sox defending world champs. Instead, they are a team that was beaten down, and beaten out of the playoffs by the Chicago White Sox.

Now the questions really come: Who moves up from the minor league next year? Youk? Papalbon (starter/reliever)? […]

Win It In Boston, And You’re A God

Friday, October 7th, 2005

That certainly is true of last years World Championship team. But did anyone ever imagine being part of a team that could make history twice in Bean-town? Imagine the situation of coming from behind year after year, after never being able to be counted out, and posting 2 World Series Championships in back-to-back years. Many […]

Lesson Revisited

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

We hear it all the time, pitching & defense wins playoff games. Tonight we had the pitching. David Wells threw more than well enough for the victory. A very costly error by Tony Graffinino gave the game away to the White Sox.

Another big contributor for post season wins is luck, and the Red Sox haven’t […]

Big Game Pitcher? Meet Your Big Game

Wednesday, October 5th, 2005

After yesterday’s loss, the Red Sox are certainly looking to at least split the games at Chicago before heading back to Fenway. Yesterday’s loss was more than discouraging, but something that a team can bounce back from. I think if Clement hadn’t lost “it” the way he has since the all-star break, yesterday’s game is […]
