“Surviving Grady is Red Sox Nation’s Mystery Science Theater 3000. Brilliant, irreverrant and merciless.”

Since this blog began in 2004, we’ve been fortunate to have a number of nice things said about us by a number of high-profile media establishments.
Surviving Grady was named Best Overall New England Sports Blogat the 2009 TruFan New England Blog Awards. Votes were submitted by fans, which is cool.
Deadspin named SurvivingGrady.com among the top three Red Sox blogs.
The Boston Globe featured an article about us and the blog back in 2007. You can access a PDF of the story here.
The Boston Phoenix also interviewed us about our book. You can read that interview here.
