What a totally satisfying series. What truly made it great, and will indeed define it down the road as memorable, is that there was a moment of absolute despair. Just like the 2004 ALCS, there was a moment where I couldn’t think of a way out. That was in game...

Don’t mean to bump Dan’s and Shawn’s reaction, but I wanted to get my thoughts in…… The year 2007 for J.D. Drew was exemplified perfectly by my body language following a near squander in the bottom of the first inning. With the bases...

Coming into Saturday night’s game, I had zero confidence in Curt Schilling’s ability to tame the Tribe’s offense. I wouldn’t have bet a counterfeit penny on Big Schill. That’s how sure I was that Game 6 would spell demise for the Sox. I...

At least for now. J.D. Drew hit a grand slam in the bottom of the first inning giving Boston an early 4-0 lead and Curt Schilling was masterful in post season play yet again improving his record to 10-2 in the 12-2 win over the Cleveland Indians. Schilling carried the...

Man, another game for the ages from Josh Beckett. His performance has been truly astounding. Last night’s eight innings pitched, eleven strikeouts, one walk and one earned run on five hits simply added to what was already an impressive postseason resume. If the...

Game 1: Wednesday, October 3rd. One of the great things about playoff baseball is that it brings old friends together. Especially for fans that have left their home team

Here we stand, on the date of October 10, two days before the first pitch of the 2007 American League Championship Series. Here we stood, on the date of March 31, two days before the first pitch of the 2007 baseball season. On March 31, we had no way of knowing...

Greetings from the Big Apple. I’m on vacation right now but I was happy to set time aside for an article here at my old stomping grounds. Much has changed since I last wrote an article at Fire Brand. There’s plenty to be excited about with the Red Sox up...

Manny Ramirez made the Los Angeles Angels pay the second time around. Intentionally walking David Ortiz to get to Ramirez for the second time on the night, Ramirez, tagged a Mass Pike shot over the Green Monster on a 1-0 fastball with two outs from Francisco...
