Afternoon Delight: Why winning the division, and the best record, matters

 

It’s an easy equation really. Win two games, and the Red Sox get the Angels in the first round. Lose out, or drop three of four to Minninniesota, watch the Yankees take three of four, and play Cleveland.

The ability to use Dice-K more than once in a five-game series would be a big advantage [...]

Ever been in a situation where you’re really proud of one accomplishment, but know that there’s an even bigger step on the immediate horizon? Welcome to the world of fellow Red Sox fans.
Make no mistake, the team’s last couple wins have been huge accomplishments. Two nights ago the Sox needed to get a win [...]

Dragnet prep city: A’s at Sox

 

And then there were three.

Jon Lester has looked good in his past two outings. If he can keep it up for a third, he may warrant serious postseason consideration.
After last night’s Boston victory and simultaneous extra-inning Yankees loss in Tampa Bay, the Red Sox are within three game - be they wins or New York [...]

Dragnet Fens: A’s at Sox

 

Home sweet home. We hope.

Things went swimmingly the last time Schill faced the A’s. The first time in the Fens? Not so much. Here’s hoping he goes 2 for 3 with O-town this year.
Let’s face it, there’s no place the Sox would rather be right now than at Fenway Park. Even Tampa Bay, where [...]

Owwww

 

That one hurt.

If it had only been this SSS (Schilling Solo Shot), the Sox would have been alright. If only.
Ok, so it would have been one thing for the Sox to lose. But to lose for the second time in three days, in uber-dramatic fashion? They really could have cut their fans a little [...]

What are we supposed to watch!?!

 

There have been plenty of heated TV dilemmas for Boston fans in the past but, perhaps, never one more divisive than tonight’s.

Guess what? He’s baaaack. But so are the Pats. So who you gonna watch?
That’s because both the Red Sox and Patriots find themselves in pivotal games. Both are at home. And both are [...]

Dragnet Beantown, Rays at Sox

 

How do you improve upon a matchup between the baseball team with the AL’s best record and one of the hottest teams in the game? You add two of the game’s best pitchers!

The Big Schill should have his hands full tonight at the Fens.
That’s what you’re getting at Fenway tonight, folks. Curt Schilling and Scott [...]

Dateline Fens: Jays at Sox

 

As we prepare for the latest incursion by the senior blowhard of the Red Sox staff (cough, cough Curt Schilling, cough), with the latest Baseball-Reference preview, it’s hard not to turn the spotlight to one of his younger - much younger - teammates.

So far, Jacoby Ellsbury has been a hit with teammates and fans.

Oh man, that was a bad afternoon

 

So, what do you do when you get swept by your deepest enemies? You go out and sleep with a total rebound, no matter how horrid they may be, of course. It’s an extension of self-loathing. An extension of the depression.

Ummm, if the Sox can rebound like Nick Lachey, let’s just say things will [...]
