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 [...]

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 [...]

This is no longer funny. At all.

 

Let’s face it. As Red Sox fans, we walk through life half expecting for things to fall apart. It’s hard not to after ‘76, ‘86, ‘90, ‘03, well, you get the idea.
Nonetheless, there’s no way we could have seen this collapse coming. Sure, it hasn’t happened. Yet. But would anyone be surprised if the [...]

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 [...]

The Morning After: Like a nasty dominatrix

 

Admit it. In the fourth inning last night, you were thinking: “You know, the Sox are going to pull this one out! And when they do, it’ll feel even more rewarding because they will have had to rally to do it!”

Guess who was playing the role of the Yankees last night? Yeah, she’s the one [...]

The Morning After: Even Sarah Silverman flinched

 

How do you start to recapture the frustration that was last night’s loss. Here’s the rundown of everything that was lost:

Sure, she’s funny and borderline cute, but is anyone truly comfortable with Sarah Silverman? Or a late lead in Baltimore after last night?
1) A furious rally that would have earned Dice-K a well-earned 14th [...]

The Morning After: The highs and Lo-hans

 

Thank God that West coast trip is over. You know that’s what the entire Red Sox roster was thinking on the flight back home last night.

There’s nothing low about Lohan on the beach.
While the sox are taking the afternoon off today, fans had a chance to ponder three sloppy games, two of which ended [...]

The Morning After: What a nightmare

 

Mimi Craven. Remember the name.

Mimi Craven: what’s in a name? Maybe less than in a role.
It’s not an easy one to remember. After all, what the hell would a Mimi Craven, an actress in horror flicks, have to do with the Red Sox? What could anyone possibly crave from a horrendous game like last night? [...]

The Morning After: A Smart win

 

Need to start today’s TMA with an admission: I’m a huge Amy Smart fan. Huge.

If Amy Smart doesn’t make you excited, you should check your pulse.
That being said, how can last night’s win be called anything but smart? Dice-K tossed a solid, stingy game; one run through six, solo shot in the seventh. And with [...]

The Morning After: Screw wingmen

 

That was a debacle.
The Sox take an early lead. They build on it, but fail to bust the game open. They leave the Mariners slinking around, then sure enough, an infield error leads to three runs and a tie game.

How bad was last night? If the Sox had been hitting on members of the [...]
