When the Baseball Gods decide to kick you in the nuts, they usually do a pretty good job of it. Case in point: the Red …

Two things should be fairly obvious to even casual readers of this blog. First, I’m a bit of a drunk. Second, I love me some …

No need to get into a lot of detail about last night’s Red Sox game. Another shit start, this time from E-Rod, and a late-inning …

Underneath the harsh, alcohol-soaked exteriors, Denton and I are a couple of true romantics. We are also pretty fucking tight with a dime. Therefore, we …

Look, I’ve been away for a while on my winter sabbatical and there’s a lot of things to talk about. But rather than rattle on …

One of the advantages of living within a 15 minute drive (or one-hour drunken stumble) of Fenway Park is the ability to bask in its …

Besides knocking down a tree and dragging it into your house and “seasonal” rates from the local escorts, the best part of Christmas is the …

I’m old enough to have Red Sox angst in my DNA. I try to suppress it, but it’s there. In the blood. Keeping me grounded …

We are on the precipice of another Red Sox World Series win. Or a trip back to Boston for game six. Either way, here’s a puppet.
