The Morning After: Yes! Finally, a division title. And Marisa Miller

 

Remember a couple of days ago, when we wrote about how sometimes the best help a team can get comes from an enemy? Well, last night it just came from a different enemy, one you usually can’t count on getting help from.

Paps was in the spirit last night. Sox fans will just hope he gets [...]

Dragnet Beantown: Twins at Sox

 

If we’re reading the script right, tonight features a lanky Texan hosting a guy named Boof? Is this a cut-rate porn flick or an AL playoff chase, anyway?

Just in case you thought Josh might not be from Texas, there you go.
Regardless of bad names, Boston game against Minnesota this evening still has surprisingly far-reaching [...]

The Morning After: Two to go

 

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 [...]

The Morning After: Not what we were looking for … again

 

This just in: Tim Wakefield is cooked!

Ahhh, a night with Roseanne Barr. Doesn’t get much worse than that. And think, the blonde variety is about as GOOD as you can get with her. Yuck.
Look, we love the knuckler as much as anyone around. Without Wakefield, the Sox rotation wears down quicker. The bullpen struggles because [...]

The Morning After: Conquest, act one

 

It may not be the whole enchilada, but it’s a hell of an appetizer, isn’t it? It’s a little like waking up next to Tara Connor; it might not have happened under the most holistic conditions, what with the Red Sox ongoing meltdown, but it sure looks good in the morning regardless.

Tara Connor and a [...]

Dragnet Stifling Humidity: Sox at Rays

 

And tonight, the great Boston resurrection continues?

Dice-K’s been in better moods at earlier points in the season.
Good question right? Last night the Sox got through Tampa Bay’s best starter and still escaped with a win, thanks to your future AL Cy Young winner Josh Beckett. Not only that, they also got some keen help [...]

The Morning After: Oh, Thank God!

 

Boy, that win took long enough, didn’t it? Why didn’t the Red Sox just think to pitch Josh Beckett earlier?

Kylie Minogue would constitute a nice change from a slump, no? So would a Josh Beckett win, as last night proved.
That, of course, is a joke. Though two more Red Sox losses, and a preemptive Beckett [...]

Dragnet F’ing Canada: Sox at Jays

 

OK Clay Buchholz, here’s the deal: The Sox need a win. They need one bad. You’re already well on your way to becoming a true Boston hero. If you can come through with another big performance on the hill, you’ll be up at Roger Clemens like levels three starts into your career, and that’s saying [...]
