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 …

I understand that the regular season is a gut-wrenching affair; my life-long love of the Sox has helped burn a hole through my stomach and …

No, it’s not the title of some bad ’70s porn flick. It’s the theme of this afternoon’s mash-up between the Red and White Sox. Not …

F@#king Jon Lester. That’s what I said. Yesterday. When the game ended. F@#king Jon Lester. But I said it in the good way. The way …

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 …

Last week, Paul Byrd gave us more power than we could have possibly imagined when he inexplicably out dueled Doc Halladay. Last night, he fell …

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 …

“Hi.” In other news, we got a hell of a lot more out of Paul Byrd in his first 2009 start than I thought we’d …

Andrew over at the White Sox blog 35th Street Review asked me to guest post at his place in advance of tonight’s hot Sox-on-Sox action. …

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 …

Lame. For the umpteenth straight game, Commander Kick Ass went tits up early, giving up two more home runs–a grand total of 14 dingers over …

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 …

I can only hope that, after last night’s win in the Helldome, Hideki Okajima and Paps took Jacoby Ellsbury out on the town for prime …

The numbers say the Red Sox are rendered impotent in the steely haze of Tropicana Field. Amazingly, they’ve won only two games in this hell-hole …

During last weekend’s Jimmy Fund telethon festivities at Fenway, ’70s teen hero David Cassidy was zipped in to sing the National Anthem. Now, I’ve seen …

When yesterday’s game drew to a close, my first thought (delivered via SG Twitter, where all my ridiculously lame first thoughts go these days) was, …

On a night after Beckett struggled with the long-ball, it was nice to see Clay Buchholz shut down the Jays and help us secure our …

Watching Josh Beckett give up a couple more home runs last night–that’s 12 in his last four starts for those not keeping count–I thought two …

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 didn’t think I’d had that much to drink during last night’s SG fundraiser for The Jimmy Fund at Crossroads Ale House. But when someone …

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 …

The thing about cancer is that it doesn’t give a shit who you are or how old you are or who you know or how …

Doesn’t a walk-off home run from Big Papi just feel better? Don’t get me wrong. I’ll take a walk-off from any of our guys on …

Look, I’m a busy guy. I don’t read a lot of Shaughnessy, and have only a fleeting interest in most sports radio (AKA the drive …

A couple ugly plays early on threatened to sink us, especially that one where Okajima–looking as comfortable as a guy waiting to catch a piano …

When I heard that the Sox got Wagner, I was pretty freakin’ excited. I mean, the guy’s baseball card is worth millions. Plus, he’s a …

First things first: Thank you, Jose Contreras. Because if you hadn’t booted that bases-loaded dribbler that Ortiz unceremoniously corked off with two outs in the …

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 …

I’ll be the first to admit: I had about as much confidence in Tazawa beating Burnett as I had in Rob Schneider sustaining a career …

…last night’s game gets a two-word review: shit sandwich. I figgered Brad Penny would rise to the occasion, prove the naysayers wrong and crank out …

I hate going out on a limb and making predictions, especially when Brad Penny, the Steven Seagal of pro baseball, is on the hill against …

Next week, Denton and I will be doing our part for the Jimmy Fund Telethon by holding a Sox game watching thing at Crossroads Ale …

Such are the highs and lows of the 2009 post-All Star Game Sox. Last Friday, after that come-from-behind, ninth inning laser show, I was secretly …

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 …
