Well, that was easy.

That is all.

Lol: Injuries include three scratched cornea, two punctured eardrums and fourteen badly bruised psyches. NEW YORK, NY (Sportsman’s Daily Wire Service) — No one knew precisely what triggered it, but suddenly the morgue-like locker room transformed into a furious martial arts flick, as fingers came flying from all directions. They came fast and they came hard and when it was … Read More

Which is why I display a rather embarrassing Papelbon and Youk danceoff: The post-season fun begins tonight, with the Angels at Fenway.  The Angels may pose a bigger obstacle to the Pennant than the Yankees.  The Red Sox and Angels are pretty evenly matched, but our pitching bench is healed and well-rested, and the Manny-Ortiz-Lowell gauntlet is in full force.  … Read More

Noted.

So says Fox Sports: Repeat after me, Red Sox Nation: It’s not 1978. In 1978 — hello — there was no wild card. After the Red Sox blew their 14-game lead to Bucky Bleepin’ Dent and Co., they had no chance to win the World Series. Now, the Sox are taking steps to enhance their chances of winning the Series, … Read More

Seriously, you guys are killing me. RELATED: Serious debate at Over The Monster as to whether or not the Red Sox should even try to win the division, as opposed to "getting the house in order for October".

…and only 2.5 games in front of the Yankees.  I guess I shouldn’t mind — a wild card spot is a virtual guarantee.  And I suppose it is more important to have a healthy, well-rested team for the playoffs than it is to force players to play hurt or pushing pitchers (starters, closer) too hard in an all-out attempt to … Read More

…as I write this.  Red Sox have gotten only two hits. Sadly, No, predominately a political humor blog, just posted this: My Undying Hatred Posted at 21:12 by The Hon. Dr. St. Rev. Bradley S. Rocket, Esq, PhD, MD All you had to do was not get swept by the Yankees this week. That’s all you had to do. And … Read More

It will be 40 years ago today that Red Sox slugger and Boston legend Tony Conigliaro was hit below the left eye by a pitch from the California Angels’ Jack Hamilton, shattering his cheekbone, severely damaging his vision, and derailing a career that seemed destined to end in the Baseball Hall of Fame. At the time, he was only 22, … Read More

C’mon guys: Just two weeks ago, Boston was cruising with a 12-game lead in the division. But after the Kansas City Royals beat the Red Sox 6-5 on Wednesday, and the Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 6-1, the lead is down to seven — the closest it’s been since after games of May 12. "Are the Yankees back in … Read More

Why not? "With two outs I was sure I had it," the 40-year-old Schilling said. "I shook off [Red Sox catcher Jason Varitek] and now I’ll have to deal with a ‘what-if’ the rest of my life." Why not? Pedro Martinez once lost a no-hitter late in a game in 2004 for the same reason — shaking off Varitek.

I’m loathe to write about the Red Sox, because I have a feeling that the second I do, they’ll start sucking. But I gotta say… I’m liking what’s happening.  Mother’s Day?  Down 5-0 in the bottom of the ninth …and they come back to win?  Yesterday?  Dice-K becomes the first Bosox rookie since 1994 to throw a complete game, trouncing … Read More
