They both have an Uncle Rico. But where Napoleon’s Unc trafficked in tupperware sets and “breast augmentation,” Manny’s is peddling something far more valuable–a hamstring-repairing …

Much like you, Denton and I are unabashed Remy loyalists. If the Dawg wants to come to my house, break a few bottles over my …
A couple months ago, Bartolo Colon was the punchline to at least a half-dozen jokes–many involving pork chops. But after watching him turn in a …
Let’s consider last night’s loss to the Orioles an aberration. Same for Bartolo’s last start, in which the poor guy got knocked around like a …
I’ve never been shy about my unrelenting manlove for Kevin Millar, and I cling tenaciously to my dream that the guy will eventually return to …
One of my great passions–after the Red Sox and, of course, antiquing for vintage deli slicers–is music. And as long-time readers of this blog will …
Our Man Allan over at Joy of Sox pointed out a piece at FOX Sports that has a logical explanation for the rash of injuries …

This afternoon, the Sox have a chance to snag their fortieth win of the season as Justin Masterson takes on Erik Bedard, who looks kinda …
I’m a big fan of irony (with “chicanery” and “feel-uppery” running neck-in-neck for second place). So I found this bit of Jonny Gomes ephemera, from …
First things first, NESN’s SportsDesk brilliantly opened its Red Sox recap this morning with this gorgeous bit, a rollickin’ montage of some past Sox-Rays donnybrooks: …
Dude, did David Lynch script that f@#king Sox game? Because that was one of the weirdest things I’ve seen in a long, long time. First …
Yesterday, on Boston Mag’s Boston Daily blog, our pal Derjue asked the million dollar question: Who will NESN tap to replace the soon-to-be-but-a-memory-called-upon-for-late-night-self-satisfaction Hazel Mae? …
Further proof that this guy needs to be mic’ed 24/7, so we don’t miss a single minute of the awesome: The Sox closer, in his …

I honestly can’t recall any ballplayer I’ve enjoyed watching more than Craig Grebeck. But since Manny just clocked his 500th home run, we’ll put the …
I have it on fairly good authority–the case of Pabst I’ve been consuming since 11:00am this morning–that Manny’s hitting 500 tonight. So I may need …
First things first: We lied. No, not about what we were really doing with those sorority girls from UNLV, but about our contest. We asked …
