Awesome

I’m back from vacation, and goodness, there’s a lot to talk about. A lot has happened since I’ve been gone, ranging from Jeremi Gonzalez and Wade Miller turning in quality outings to Kevin Millar finding his power stroke to a little bullpen shuffling...

Something on my mind

Yes, Evan is still away. Yes, I’m still here A little housekeeping first. In the doubleheader yesterday, Wade Miller pitched well yesterday, Cla Meredith didn’t. For his second straight start Jeremi Gonzalez also pitched well, which gives him temporary...

I was there

Hey, this entry begins with italics. Which must mean Evan is away again. Is that what you were thinking? If so, then, yup, you were exactly right. Which must also mean that other guy is writing for him again. Boy, you’re right on top of things. Good call. Of all...

We Win.

That says it all. We win! Keith Foulke gets his sixth save in a quiet ninth inning and Wakefield improves to 3-1, going 7 innings, 10 H 3 ER 1 BB 5 K. He outpitched Nate Robertson, who actually pitched better but got in a spot of trouble that Kyle Farnsworth...

What an Idiot

Bring Up Cla Meredith!

Rotoworld said it all tonight. After entering a tie game, Blaine Neal gave up two runs in two-thirds of an inning to take the loss for the Red Sox tonight. Neal could be facing a demotion. His 9.00 ERA makes it unlikely that he’ll be claimed off waivers. If he...

End of April Showers

John Olerud is joining the Red Sox on a minor league deal, and I am thrilled with this deal. It’s always important to include depth, and Olerud gives us that depth – especially left-handed depth. Quick, who on the bench is lefthanded? Ramon Vazquez! Quick,...

Quick Hits

Quite a bit happening in Sox land today, so let’s just get down to the nitty gritty, eh!? – Wade Miller is slated to start May 8th against Seattle. (Drat! Only one more day, and I could have been there!) He started in Pawtucket yesterday, when he tossed...

Fenway Park, Boston, MA – Ever since the Boston Red Sox reversed

Depth Saves Us

So you’ve probably heard the news by now – Curt Schilling is going on the DL with a bone bruise – near the ankle in which he was hurt with all postseason long last year. Color me skeptical – this sounds like some saving grace by the...
