The Real Story Behind the Manny Ramirez Trade

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

This story has been confirmed by nobody. It was reported nowhere. It is officially off the record - so far off that all it really is is my own pure speculation. But I’d bet on it. This is how these things work. You weigh decisions and pull the trigger once [...]

Jason Bay in the Back Bay

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Yes, yes, we all know he’s no Manny Ramirez. But all that means is that he’ll actually run to first, play when he can, and hit nearly as well. This deal is by far not a good deal for the Red Sox - clearly they are giving up the most to make this [...]

Forget it, Get Rid of Manny

Thursday, July 31st, 2008

Here is what may be the last picture of Manny Ramirez taking left field in Fenway Park (with a Sox uniform on at least)

Keep Manny Ramirez

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

The Bleacher Bar at Fenway

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

I got a chance to check out the new, nearly 100% unadvertised bar in center field called the Bleacher Bar. And let me tell you, its pretty awesome! The bar is actually in Fenway Park though you enter it from Landsdowne St. As you can see from the picture, it actually does [...]

Is It 7:05 Yet?

Friday, July 11th, 2008

I don’t know about anyone else, but the last 2 nights have been pretty boring. With a day game on Wednesday that I had to listen to at work, and then NO game yesterday, I’ve been stuck watching reruns of Dog the Bounty Hunter and South Park the last couple nights.
It was then that [...]

Day of Game Tickets - The Easy Way

Monday, July 7th, 2008

It’s currently 4:34 on game day. You want a ticket to the Sox game so you are about to head down to Fenway and wait in line. Today is a nice day, so you should probably wait in the Box Office line instead of scalp free, because as we all know, there won’t [...]
