6/7/07 vs. Oakland and shaking off ‘Tek…… « 38 Pitches

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Curt has posted on his no hitter on his blog - its a pretty interesting read.
6/7/07 vs. Oakland and shaking off ‘Tek…… « 38 Pitches
I think Eric Hinske summed it up best when he said “Man, we just stopped a four game losing streak, our starter just won 1-0, threw a one hitter [...]

Must Win?

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

Terry Francona was ejected in the 8th inning last night, and by my count, dropped the F-bomb approximately 9 times. It must have been one time for each player in the lineup. Maybe this will get the bats swinging.
I know we have trouble with lefties, but this is just rediculous - not to [...]

Kevin Youkilis - Speed Demon

Tuesday, May 29th, 2007

Another great game for Youk last night, though just saying it was a great game doesn’t quite do him justice. A day after stealing his first base of the year, he “slugged” an inside the park home run. Grady Sizemore had the ball sized up, but couldn’t quite get to it as the [...]

Schilling Does His Job, Even in a Loss

Thursday, May 24th, 2007

I am a huge fan of Curt Schilling. Granted, I’ve gotten a little sick of hearing him talk in the past year or so, but lets be honest - as a baseball player and especially in his role as a team leader, there are none like him. He is as dedicated as anyone [...]

Welcome to Conigliaro’s Corner. For $30, This View Could Be Yours!

Wednesday, May 16th, 2007

With your $30 ticket you’ll get a spacious 6in x 12in section of beautiful aluminum bench that’s aligned perfectly with right-center field - optimal for viewing….well, right-center field. You can see the plate, but only if you maneuver your view between patrons (in my case the guy with the goofy blue hat), around the speaker [...]

Dice-5K (and no Walks)

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Before the Red Sox game today, on very little sleep (after being blown out last night), Jim Leyland, the manager of the Tigers made a comment on Daisuke Matsuzaka. I am thinking that now, he would like to take it back. His exact words were:
“I don’t give a shit about him. I’m [...]

7 Game Lead, 7 out of the Last 8, and 30 Runs in the last 4 games

Friday, May 11th, 2007

I don’t think anyone realistically expected that all 3 of things would be true of the Red Sox on May 11. It looks real good on paper, and they’ve looked even better if you have been watching. Granted, Toronto helped them out throughout the series with a series of bonehead mistakes and close [...]

Apparently, Clemens is Swahili for, “Desperate” PART 2

Thursday, May 10th, 2007

Part 2 today. Read Part 1, Clemens is Swahili for Desperate to get caught up.

Here are the pros and cons of Clemens signing with the Sox.
Pros:
1. Public Relations: As we all know by the spam emails we get in our inboxes every morning, the Red Sox have become [...]

Papelbon, not Perfectabon

Wednesday, May 2nd, 2007

Yes, Papelbon blew the save last night. He was very upset with himself over it, as evidenced by Jim Davis’ picture from the Globe today (click-thru for their article).
Strangely enough, this isn’t the first time it has happened either. In fact, its the 9th. Papelbon blew 8 saves last year, including [...]

Drawing Walks - The ‘Money’ Way to Do It

Friday, April 27th, 2007

So I’m hooked. Moneyball. What a book. I mean, it just makes sense. To most focused baseball fans anyways. It’s a totally different way to think about baseball by the numbers. To try and sum up the entire book in one sentence: Do your best not to make an out. In the long run, regardless [...]
