Wasn’t that such an excellent pun! Man, I crack myself up! ;-) Anyway, I don’t want to throw around any “I told you so’s”, but that was a good one from Schilling, eh? Aside from a solo home run by his arch-nemesis Frank Catalanotto, Curt held the entire Rangers lineup in perpetual [...]
Both The Boston Globe and Boston Herald were thinking along the same lines in both headlines and photographs. “Dice-KKKKKKKKKK” screamed both papers on their main front pages, posting a ‘K’ for each of his 10 strikeouts.

The Herald’s sports page on the back employed the headline, “The Dice Is Right!”

We’re only 3 games into the Sox season, and there’s already some factiods and sayings that have been regurgitated a few too many times. For example:
Dustin Pedrioa is the first rookie to open the season as a starter since Shea Hillenbrand in 2001.
Dustin Pedrioa is the 12th opening day second baseman in 13 seasons./Julio [...]
The Sox have officially won their first series of the season, mirroring the 7-1 score last night and beating Kansas City 4-1 tonight. Schilling stumbled out of the gate, but Josh Beckett and Daisuke Matsuzaka both jumped out to lead the race for ‘07 staff ace. I’m sure Schill will be fired up [...]
The Sox got their first big stinker out of the way today, in the form of a 7-1 drubbing by the Kansas City Royals (yes, those Kansas City Royals). Gil Meche justified his contract for at least a day, and Schill had pretty much nothing good to throw for hopefully just a day. [...]
“To make a decision solely based on one year is kind of retarded, in my opinion,” he said. “This is something I’d like to do the rest of my career. Forget about starting. Go out (as a closer), chase records and hopefully do for the Red Sox what Mariano Rivera does for the Yankees.”

Starting a new job can take a toll on the blogging, but that doesn’t stop the news from happening! As reported by Curt Schilling and the RedSox, Jonathan Papelbon will resume closing games after all. Supposedly this was all his idea, and I hope that it was at his insistence that this happened [...]
I missed all of the juicy news of the off-season while the site was down. While I can’t really do it all justice right now, I’ll give my quick impressions.
The Starting Rotation: In short, it looks stacked. You can look back and see all of the foolish predictions I made last year, [...]
According to CBS4, the Red Sox have signed Mike Timlin to a one-year deal worth $2.8 million, plus incentives. I’m sure a lot of people will scoff at that decision, but I think it was the right thing to do. While most people will focus on the fact that Timlin will be 41 [...]
The St. Louis Cardinals are the [improbable] World Series Champions. I was rooting for the Tigers (they of the 119 losses in 2003), but you can’t make errors in every game of the World Series and expect go home with some bling. Hats off to the Cardinals, though. It may be true [...]
