The debate, if you really want to call it that, over whether the Red Sox should pick up Manny Ramirez’s options for the next two seasons, seems to have heated up recently. Manny has been in the press for all kinds of “problems” and “issues” lately, from the spat with Youkilis in the dugout, [...]

After reading Daniel Rubin’s column entitled Enough Already! A fan defects, the only thing I could really think is how much of an idiot this guy is and after reading the comments section of other Philly fans agreeing with and defending him, there is only 1 conclusion I can come to. Philly fans just [...]

The Greatest Game is not just a book about the 163rd game of the 1978 season played between the Red Sox and the Yankees, but a book about both teams as a whole, and more importantly, about the players themselves who made that pennant race one of the most exciting, and ultimately, most disappointing (at [...]

Everyone always asks me how it is that I manage to get tickets to go to so many Red Sox games. “I thought they were all sold out” they always ask. Well, yes, they are sold out once the game starts, but that doesn’t mean that they aren’t sold out today. You [...]

After recently moving and searching through old Sox programs and yearbooks, I came across the 1995 Official Yearbook. It featured Jose Canseco and Mo Vaughn on the cover, looking, well, huge. Do I even need to mention steroids here?
Of course, they are not just on the cover. They was also [...]

Think back. Try to think, all the way back to before the Red Sox were the best franchise in major league baseball. Think back to when Dan Shaughnessy was actually a popular figure because of his theory of the Curse of the Bambino, rather than being viewed as the sensationalist wanna-be that Curt [...]

It feels great to write that. After a long season (and a short World Series… again) the Sox are the best. Missing the playoffs last year (the famous 1 step back to take 2 steps forward) proved true. J.D. Drew came through, and we weren’t JD Screwed after all. Even Julio [...]

That was the greatest baseball game I have ever seen.
By far. Better than any walk offs during the regular season. Better than beating the Yankees in the ALCS (after all, that wasn’t the WORLD SERIES!). How can you argue about one of the best pitched games in baseball history? My [...]

Everyone has a story. And when it comes to the World Series, pretty much everyone who goes has a really good story. There aren’t many people who just say “I walked up to the box office and bought one.” No, you usually have to jump through a lot more hoops than that [...]

Yes, I am going to the game tonight. And I am very excited! As I was on vacation last week, I could not use my ALCS game 2 tickets. So I traded them to a friend for one of his World Series tickets. This was a smart move by me. [...]
