Keep Manny Ramirez

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

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, [...]

Philly Columnist Full of Crap

Wednesday, June 25th, 2008

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 - Super Fan Reading

Friday, April 4th, 2008

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 [...]

Yes, You Can Get Red Sox Tickets

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

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 [...]

Juiced, Pumped, Whatever. The 1995 Red Sox

Sunday, March 9th, 2008

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 [...]

Dan Duquette Was Right!

Monday, December 17th, 2007

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 [...]

World Series Champions

Monday, October 29th, 2007

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 [...]

Full Moon Victory!

Friday, October 26th, 2007

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 [...]

My World Series Ticket Story

Friday, October 26th, 2007

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 [...]

The Excitement of Attending a World Series Game

Thursday, October 25th, 2007

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. [...]
