The Detroit Tigers lost this afternoon. They got blown away by the Cleveland Indians, the third time in as many days that happened. As a result, they’re officially cooked in the playoff races. Hope you like game meat, there’s plenty of tiger to go around.
Oh Jim Leyland. We can’t figure out whether to send you [...]
So we’ll be brief. To be honest, we tried to kick our ass into blogging something last night, but we were too distracted by the latest Terry Francona act of incredible flexibility, stabbing himself in the back with his dinner fork, this time by leaving Eric Gagne in after his control took a late flight [...]
Three out of four in Baltimore isn’t bad, right? I mean, when you go on the road, anytime you take three out of four is good, right?
Another strong Josh Beckett start was among the positives the Sox could take away from Maryland.
Normally that’s the case. And to a large extent it’s the case here, [...]
It seems safe to say that Daisuke Matsuzaka’s year has undergone a drastic shift in direction.
Dice-K has struggled the last couple of weeks, and there’s plenty of speculation that his season may be out of sorts.
A month and a half ago, Dice-K was being called a first-year phenom. After an occasionally rocky start, the Japanese [...]
Here comes the inevitable surge, right?
Josh has come up big most of the year, but his performance down the stretch may win or lose him the Cy Young.
With the Yankees embroiled in a sudden minor downslide, 2 straight losses, one of which came in a crucial game against fellow AL Wild Card contender Seattle, the [...]
Well, even Wakefield can’t get a decision every time, right? Maybe Clay Buchholz can.
Tonight the Sox had better hope he can, or else the losers of four straight will become losers of five straight. Rosters couldn’t expand fast enough, and now that they have the young phenom will get his second start of the [...]
There are absolutely no acceptable excuses for sub-par Red Sox stories at this time of year. Think about the tumultuous week just past in Red Sox Nation. There was the ebb and flow of a lead over the Yankees. There was the re-emerging story of Tim Wakefield, suddenly a 15-game winner at 42. There was [...]
It’s just not fair. Jon Lester gets to roll out five innings in which he racks up 100+ pitches and gives up five runs, and he gets a win. Meanwhile, Daisuke Matsuzaka throws a two-run, two-hit gem through seven innings, and he gets the cold shoulder and another loss.
The Dice Man was on last [...]
He just couldn’t help himself.
Curt Schilling was out of the spotlight. His team was finding a way to win for two straight days, pushing across enough runs against the woeful Tampa Bay Devil Rays to cruise after surviving a four-game series against the AL West leading Los Angeles Angels. Of course, Schilling was part [...]
Does anyone else feel comfortable with Tim Wakefield pitching a must win game? Didn’t think so?
Wake tosses tonight. If he wins, it’ll be nine in a row in the Trop. That’s something to talk about, no?
Now consider the fact that Wakefield isn’t even pitching to his usual trusty target, Doug Mirabelli. Instead he gets [...]
