I was a little worried that Jake Peavy was going to be traded this week, thus making my post somewhat irrelevant. Thankfully, he wasn’t. I imagine he will be soon, so perhaps this will serve as our “In Memoriam,” so to speak. On to the...

I last saw Jake Peavy pitch, live and in person, nearly seven years ago. Paradoxically, I remember it vividly, yet vaguely. More accurately, there are elements of the game I remember with clarity, but on the whole, it’s mostly a haze in my mind. I remember it being...

I can remember it like it was yesterday.
It was August of 2004. Fresh off the controversial Nomar trade (or the Dave Roberts trade, if you prefer) the Red Sox we’re grinding through another summer as a fan base full of helpless saps who hoped that somehow, someway,...

The good, bad and the ugly from a tough, tough loss last night. My dreams of a perfect 12-0 Red Sox winning streak in the World Series have been shattered. The Highlights: – David Ortiz is in complete postseason beast mode right now. That’s two games and two...

Seriously, MLB? You’ve got to make us wait three days until you can start the World Series? And I thought I was anxious before all this… It’s been an inspirational run to the Fall Classic for the Red Sox. They’ve been a complete unit the entire...

So I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not going to live past my 40s thanks to the playoffs. It’s okay, I’d probably be really bored in retirement anyway. The Red Sox scored four runs! And this time, they didn’t need a single swing from...

I believe in the value of sabermetrics and I also believe in baseball voodoo magic, so take that how you will. — Daniel Poarch (@PoarchDaniel) October 17, 2013 I’m a pretty normal and reasonable guy.

Three straight one-run games. Two with the Red Sox scoring in the 7th inning or later. I’m just withering away from the stress I’m feeling right now. Improbable? Yeah, very. Impossible? Definitely not. The Red Sox, despite creating gale-force winds with...

Below find Andre’s take on attending Game 2 of the ALCS. Later today, you’ll hear from Ben, who was also at one of the best playoff games in Red Sox memory… I really am blessed to call myself one of the luckiest Red Sox fans alive. No, I really am. I...

It’s a good thing I don’t have to work today since I couldn’t get any sleep after what the Red Sox & Patriots did last night. Unbelievably surreal. There are no words. Only emotions that we all still have from what transpired last night. Down,...
