Good times

Hey, folks. I’m supposed to be covering for Evan today, but I’m currently experiencing massive computer difficulties. All week, I’ve had trouble with booting, trouble with crashing, trouble with freezing, you name it — and it’s getting...

Unheralded Star

Hey there everyone. Here to bother you today is Marc Normandin from Beyond the Boxscore, Sox on Deck, and Baseball Digest Daily. I’ve decided today not to write about the Red Sox themselves, but instead use this series against the Philadelphia Phillies to...

Wakefield (5-6, 4.41) @ Lieber (8-6, 4.63)

Terry Francona returns to his old stomping grounds to face one of the Red Sox’s enemies from last year, Jon Lieber. Do not forget also that this is where Trot Nixon hit a grand slam in 2003. The Red Sox are a half-game out of first at 41-30 while the Phillies...

Bases per Batter, The Spitball

Surprise!!!!!

Alan Embree and Matt Mantei came in with the score 0-0 in the 8th. John Halama started the ninth. Oh my goodness, they gave up runs!?!?!?!?!?! I can’t believe that they pitched in a scoreless game.

The First and Fifteenth

Before we jump into today’s article, check out what Marc Normandin thinks should be done with Mark Bellhorn. Now… You, me, and any other person who is not currently playing for a major league club would pretty much give anything to do so. We’d leave...

What to do with Bellhorn? Plus, Sox sweep Reds

Bellhorn is now 0-4 in tonight’s game with his average down to .235. .235 in the middle of June! Does anyone realistically think that Theo will do anything with Bellhorn? I’m just dissapointed that he and PapaJack have been unable to fix his hitting woes....
