We all gathered around turkey and declared how thankful we were for family, friends, food, jobs, etc. We are also thankful for a shiny 2013 World Series trophy that can never be taken from us. In a year of unspeakable tragedy in the city, it was nice to be able...

There are times when one must be composed, polite and relatively quiet. The duck boat parade on Saturday was not one of them. Because World Champs, that’s why. How did this team win it all? Every single player on the 25-man roster contributed in some way, shape...

Some random thoughts on the Red Sox as I recover from a champagne haze and try to figure out what to do with my playoff beard.* *Seriously, should I shave it right away? Leave it to frighten small children and provide a home for small forest creatures? When I asked my...

Three titles in ten years. For fans much older than me, that kind of optimism would’ve been scoffed at before 2000. This just doesn’t happen. So enjoy it all. We’ve taken to calling the amazing 1967 season The Impossible Dream. But after the Red Sox...

The 2004 Championship team was a result of a force of will. Backed into a 0-3 corner in the ALCS and decades of spectacular failure, the Idiots fought back and willed the Red Sox to their first championship in 86 years. 2007 Red Sox were a function of might making...

One more. Uno mas. Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. End it here, Boston. Win tonight, and the Red Sox are on top of the world. He witnessed first hand what happened in the 2011 World Series, and Mike Napoli doesn’t wish for a repeat...

Will the guy who bet on Game 3 to end on an obstruction call please come up and claim his millions? Feel lucky, sir. Because that’s something you will never see again. These games just get more and more ridiculous the longer this series goes on. Unlikely heroes,...

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...

I’m still at a loss for words after last night. That was some awful defense and even worse decision-making all around. Just punted away a win there. We loved the Cardinals making error after error on Wednesday night. But Thursday night, it was the Red...

Gino Marcello, of Rochester, NY received plenty of attention for being a part of the jubilant World Series crowd at Fenway Park in Boston on Wednesday night. What made him stand out among the other 38,344 fans? He was the only guy there holding a sign saying “I Quit...
