Sox Recap - game from August 30th, 2009

Boston gives the Blue Jays the ByrdI start today's post with a shout out and a "Thank You" to Joe Castiglione - Red Sox radio announcer. I was in my car at the start of the game yesterday listening to the broadcast when I heard something to the effect of.... "Opposing scouts say that the Fenway (speed) gun runs a "bit" fast".....NOOOOOO, I will NOT break my arm patting myself on the back (shoulder surgery and arthritis prohibits self back-patting). I type slow enough as it is... never mind with...

Sox Recap - game from August 29th, 2009

OR... WHAT THE BUCH !!!!!If you look at last night's score, you might think it was a pitcher's duel at the Fens.... If you watched last night's game, you know the opposite is true... and you watched.... waiting for the Blue Jays to make the Sox pay for their inability to score runs....But THAT opportunity NEVER came as Sox young gun, Clay Buchholz, continued his total dominance over Toronto going 8-1/3 (OBVIOUSLY, you should have left Clay in there Tito)...

OR... Bay's Blast saves Beckett's [Butt]{{{shaking head}}} I listened to a John Farrell interview prior to last night's game.... obviously he's been reading this blog !!!... ok, I can dream... anyway, Farrelll stated that there is nothing physically wrong with Josh Beckett and that they worked on a couple of mechanical issues - he was "getting under the ball"... obviously it's been opposing batters getting under his balls... UHHHHH, PITCHES !!!! .... and...

Sox Thawts - 28 August, 2009 (barely)

OR..... "Angels" in the outfield ????I start with a BRIEF recap of last night's contest.. The highlight of the night for me was Lenny Clark and Dennis Leary in the booth...Taz was out of wind from the get-go.... giving up 9 runs overs 4 innings.... JD, Gonzo and Papi did their best to break out the brooms... Nick Green ???? pitched 2 scoreless innings... Jacoby tweaks an ankle sliding into home....NUF CEDSox lead in the wild card??? 1-1/2 games as the Rangers were roughing up AJ Burnett... "WHY,...

Wait til your Papi gets HOME !!!OR... Going Once, Going TWICE, Going for a Walk(OFF) in the Park !!!!Now THAT is the Papi of old... photo from NESN.COMIt was a scene so familiar to citizens of the Nation... A scene we'd come accustomed to... mmmm, almost EXPECTED, from the BEST CLUTCH HITTER in Red Sox history. Perhaps we had become spoiled by the 10 or so walk-off homers that Big Papi had treated us to - ESPECIALLY, the playoff "shots"......perhaps not...If...

Take Me (uh Tom Brady) To The River(s)

I nearly [crapped] myself when I heard of the contract extension that Philip Rivers signed with the Chargers. - $92 million for 6 years!!!!! Although it shouldn't have surprised me after Eli (the OTHER) Manning signed a 6 year $97 million extension and Ben Roethlisberger signed an 8 year $102 million deal.... WTF ?!?!?!?!?With all due respect to these 3 "amigos" (and I MAY be a bit partial here) but none of you can lace up Tom Terrific's (Patriots QB Tom...

Or.... The Error of the (White) Sox Ways !!!I'll start this post with an apology to Clay Buchholz... isn't it always the way?... give a guy "props" and totally jinx the [crap] out of them.... So... sorry Buchy, if I had anything to do with your less than "normal" performance last night.... but maybe Tito SHOULD continue to toss you against aces of the league.... no worries, you're still a diamond in the rough, kid....NOW....

Sox Thawts - 24 August, 2009

AND....A bit of Shameless Self PromotionCLAY BUCHHOLZ.... As the Sox were preparing for tonight's contest against the White Sox, I listened to Boston media personalities discuss tonight's Sox starter , Clay "Buchy" Buchholz.... In a nutshell, they were tauting Buchy as a critical piece to the puzzled rotation and possibly (probably) the 3rd starter...I dare anyone to read my posts back in July and challenge whether I said the same exact things last month or not.... SOMETIMES, I actually know what...
