It’s a marathon, not a sprint. You’ve got to stay in for the long haul. Everything will regress to the mean. Water seeks its own level. The cream will rise to the top. You get my point…All is right with the world this week coming off a series sweep against Baltimore.

Paul and I welcome back our longest standing guest of Fireside Chats, Cranky Frankie the Yankee in advance of this weekends renewal of “the rivalry”.

We close the show discussing the greatest moments in Red Sox Nation history. Our vote, cast for Dave Roberts and the steal. How about you?

All that and more on Episode #42 of Fireside Chats on MVN!

Lugo speaks to Fire Brand about injury

Written on April 21st, 2009 by Mike Edelman42671 Commenthttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/21/lugo-speaks-to-fire-brand-about-injury.htmlLugo+speaks+to+Fire+Brand+about+injury2009-04-22+00%3A30%3A23Mike+Edelman

“Right now I’m close to 80 percent,” he said. “I’m feeling good. Day by day it’s feeling better. I think it was the right thing for me to do (i.e. operation). I even feel better with my right knee right now than when I was playing.”

4/21: Can Wake get a no-no this time?

Written on April 21st, 2009 by Evan Brunell42660 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/21/421-can-wake-get-a-no-no-this-time.html4%2F21%3A+Can+Wake+get+a+no-no+this+time%3F2009-04-21+21%3A03%3A22Evan+Brunell

The Twins come to town in advance of the accursed Yankees. Without Joe Mauer, this is a shell of the team they could be, but they’ve been resilient so far.

Poll: “Short” handed Red Sox

Written on April 21st, 2009 by Tim Daloisio42652 Commentshttp://firebrandal.com/2009/04/21/poll-short-handed-red-sox.htmlPoll%3A+%22Short%22+handed+Red+Sox2009-04-21+19%3A09%3A29Tim+Daloisio
New Poll Question:
What to do with the Sox caught “Short” handed?
With Jed Lowrie out until at least the All Star break and possibly longer, what should the Red Sox do at SS this season?
- Nick Green all the way to October
- It’s Julio Lugo’s job to lose for 2009
- Lugo/Green split time until Lowrie gets back
- Bring in Bobby Crosby, or someone else from the outside
- Maybe Hanley’s still available (for laughs only please don’t vote for this unless your baseball IQ is < 1)
As always, new poll is up to the right…vote away and argue it out in the comments.
