Things sure change quickly, don’t they? New York was riding high: the J-E-T-S Jets were in first place, the Giants were undefeated, the Yankees had …

As many of you are aware, Red and I hosted a fairly succesful fundraiser for the Jimmy Fund back in August. We were both thrilled …

I was beginning to wonder what was going through the minds of the TBS folks during the ALDS. Did they think all male baseball fans …

No live blogging. No predictions. This game is too important for me to put the mush on it. Same line-up as last night with Beckett …

Opening day of the 2009 post-season went pretty much as expected. Cliff Lee shut down the Rockies (the team, not the mountains), the Dodgers beat …

It took extra innings in an extra game on the schedule but the Twins finally won the right to face the Yankees in the ALDS. …

The Red Sox still don’t know when Game 1 of the ALDS will be, so we not-so-patiently wait with them. Technically the playoffs start tomorrow …

At this point, what is there to say that matters? The next few days are nothing more than a waiting game. Sure, I would have …

Doubt. It has to be in the minds of the Yankees fans and players. Just a small, nagging feeling at first. But growing. Just as …

And this is how it goes, friends. The calendar flips to October and the Sox flip the switch to the “Full Ass Kicking” setting. It’s …

It’s very possible, very probable, that last night was Tim Wakefield’s final start. Given his age and physical ailments, it’s doubtful Tim will be back …

Forget everything you saw this past weekend in the Bronx. Forget the sweep, forget Lester limping off the mound, forget the 16-7 mini-massacre: it was …

And sometimes on a line-up card. Last night’s start by Josh Beckett featuring Victor Martinez behind the plate should set every one’s expectations for the …

Terry Francona couldn’t have scripted the weekend series with Baltimore any better himself. Strong starts by Buchholz, Lester and Dice-K, solid outings from the bullpen, …

Somebody, anybody, give me one good reason this guy is in the line-up? If I were at the game last night I would have charged …

I often wonder how different things would have been if those sick f@%ks hadn’t altered the course of history eight years ago today. From that …

It really sucks to have to go into a series at home against Baltimore and wonder what the outcome will be. Will the power-hitting Red …

After taking two-out-of-three in the hellhole that is Tropicana Field, I thought the Sox would be able to win anywhere. Then they traveled to Chicago …

Yeah, that’s Paul Byrd, not Carl Spackler. Although watching him pitch last night, I think the groundskeeper would have been an upgrade. Ten hits and …

The Magical Mystery Beard has done it again: 3 more hits (bringing his average to a lofty .316) including his 34th double, an RBI and …

It happened again. One minute I’m scraping ice off my windshield and praying for the arrival of spring…and baseball. The next thing I know, the …

So, Red has already regaled you with his slightly embellished memories of our first annual Surviving Grady “F%ck Cancer” event. The truth isn’t very flattering: …

I can’t say anything that Red didn’t say in his post, and I couldn’t have said it better anyway. But I will share some personal …

So I missed the game last night, instead deciding to see Springsteen at the Comcast Center (forever “Great Woods” to me, much like the Blue …

This season’s Red Sox – Yankee series has been a see-saw battle of one-sided events. Eight in a row by the good guys to start …

Yes, that is Joe Maddon. No, it is not an old photo of him before his hair turned gray. Maddon dyed his hair black in …

Journey with us, friends, as we venture inside the mind of J.D. Drew Friday’s ninth inning comeback win in Texas. Okay. It’s the top of …

Guys, we’re all aware of the struggles we’ve been having putting runs up and winning games. We’ve wasted a lot of good pitching performances with …

The Red Sox have thrown out eight baserunners trying to steal this season, 103 have made it safely. Last night the Rangers swiped eight bases …

I’m back! You need a glove to show some love up the middle? I’m your man.

The Sox and Tigers had been trading beanballs since last night’s game. When Rick Porcello plunked Youk with the first pitch of the second inning, …

Yesterday morning, in offices all across New England, belts and ties were being confiscated and all letter openers, scissors and hole-punchers were securely locked away. …

On August 17, 2006 the Sox were a game-and-a-half out of first in the AL East. The next day, a 5-game showdown with the first-place …

The Beard has no beginning, the Beard has no end, it just is. The Beard is everywhere, yet nowhere, it is the ultimate paradox. The …
