The stress of the playoffs is killing me. Everything from Tim McCarver and Joe Buck droning on about the most ridiculous of narratives; Farrell’s insistence on starting Jonny Gomes over Daniel Nava when facing right handed starting pitching (the last two nights...

The Boston Red Sox and St. Louis Cardinals are tied at two games apiece in the 2013 World Series. The first two games of the series were, by our current standards, unremarkable. The Red Sox put a beat down on St. Louis in Game One, then shot themselves in the foot in...

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...

Prior to tonight, the Red Sox have only played in 15 World Series games in my lifetime. I was too young to really have any recollection of the first seven, but those last eight have been something that I will never forget. What will the next four to seven games bring?...
