Well, that was the first game this October that I’ve really been stressed over. Exciting stuff, but man, my heart was going a mile a minute. A trial by fire. That’s what this Rays series has been to the Red Sox, and even though tougher opponents await, the...

Game 3’s drinking game might have been really nasty for some of you. After that loss, I’m sure plenty of people went to the bars to drink away their sorrows. Without further ado, here’s the Game 4 drinking game. Again, please don’t break the...

The Red Sox are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2009 season. While the games are already suspenseful and you really don’t need any alcohol to heighten the excitement, here’s a great drinking game to play during the ALDS. YOU MUST BE OVER 21 TO...

The Red Sox are up two games to none on the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, and they have yet to use their best starting pitcher. This is something you already know, of course, but it’s incredible enough that it bears repeating. What’s perhaps more notable is that this...

The Red Sox have a shot to end the Rays’ season once and for all today. Wouldn’t that make Monday oh so much better if they did? You bet it will. Boston has looked dominating in the two games so far, and the scariest thing is that they might not even be...

First things first: RED SOX PLAYOFF BASEBALL! How great is this?! As I write this paragraph, the Sox lead the Rays in Game 2, 5-1, following yet another Stephen Drew triple (he does that often). This coming after a 12-2 romp at Fenway yesterday… well, I haven’t felt...

I’m dealing with a bad case of nerves as the Red Sox begin playoff baseball for the first time in 2009. To try to generate some good hitting karma, let’s look at the five longest home runs hit by the Red Sox this season. This list came from the ESPN Home Run Tracker....

The day has arrived. My nerves have already been worn down so much, I can’t feel my left arm. Is this even good for my health? Few thought the Red Sox would go from so bad to so good in just a short amount of time. But here they are, and boy, are they good....
