Wow, that’s harsh

Apparently the whole team agreed… Theo’s initial comments – Extra Bases – Red Sox blog Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein is addressing the media concerning yesterday’s trade of Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers. “I think it puts us in a good position going forward from [...]

Not really. The “other guy” was a baseball… which looks pretty much the same now.  If you look closely you can read “rawlings” on my lip.

A Great Sell, Sox Opening Letter to Schilling in 2003

November 7, 2007

It's pretty cool to have someone as outspoken and transparent as Curt Schilling blogging about his baseball accomplishments. For me his blog has been inspirational and educational when it comes to my hobby of playing baseball.  The post I'm linking to here is a repost of the letter the Sox sent to him in 2003 [...]

May 20, 2007
Tags: ,

We lost on opening day and split our next two games.  In these three games I've had some observations. After finishing 2nd last season the opposing teams have more respect for us. Last year we got off to a quick start by facing 3rd or 4th string pitchers.  This year every team told us they had [...]

Today's game is iether going to be a classic or a big let down.  Doesn't look to be building up as anything in between. Dice-K versus Ichiro AND Dice-K versus the phenom Felix AND the first home start for Boston's 103 million dollar man.  I'd tape the game and watch it when I get home, but [...]

Dice-K more fastball than I expected

April 5, 2007

Watching the highlights from Dice-K's debut was reminiscent of Pedro in his prime. Lot more of his swings and misses where on fastballs than I expected.  But it was also clear that his change-up was also in top form.  He also seemed to keep the ball down very well.  Can't wait to watch a game [...]
