It would, perhaps, be remiss of me to not mention Bronson Arroyo’s first outing with the Reds. (Much as it was remiss to not bring up the fact that he was traded! These things happen at the start of the semester O:-)) Cornrows went 1-for-1 with a home run, a walk, and a sac bunt [...]
Whew… a lot to talk about, and I only saw the first and last inning! (Blasted lab…) Let”s get right to it. The thing everyone is buzzing about is the choice of Papelbon to close out the game, but first let’s talk about Beckett. At the start the of the game, he really struggled. He [...]
I unfortunately didn’t get to catch most of today’s game, but I just wanted to point out that Coco went 3-for-5, stole a base, and scored 2 runs today. I think this guy’s going to be very well recieved by Red Sox Nation, and make a real name for himself. Loretta also looks like he’ll [...]
The 5-game opening day losing streak is officially over! The Sox hit the ground running today in a 7-3 victory over the Texas Rangers. Unfortunately, I only got to see the last 3 innings thanks to class. Some obvervations from those innings. Schilling looked pretty good, but not nearly as intense as I’ve seen him [...]
Opening day is finally upon us! Put away the the grapefruits, it’s time to win us some real ball games…
Manny Ramirez will produce at least 50 HR & 150 RBI this year. So let it be written.
ESPN is reporting that the Sox have signed Alex Gonzalez to a 1-year/$3 million contract. Count me among the people who were hoping that they’d take Cora to spring training and be done with it. That being said, I think we can live with him for a year. He won’t be blocking any better options [...]
After much hemming and hawing, the dust has finally settled and 6 players have swapped teams. The Sox traded third base prospect Ande Marte, reliever Guillermo Mota, and catching prospect Kelly Shoppach + some $/PTBNL to the Indians in exchange for center fielder Covelli “Coco” Crisp, relief pitcher David Riske, and catcher Josh Bard. The [...]
Bill Simmons, one of the better writers on ESPN, has an interview with Curt Schilling up where they discuss the Sox, their fans, and their future. A pretty good read.
Nothing to much see here folks, go on about your business…
