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 [...]

The Greatest Game - A Conversation with author Richard Bradley

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

Richard Bradley, author of The Greatest Game - The Yankees, the Red Sox and hte Playoff of ‘78, was kind enough to chat with me, regarding his work, his new book, and the rivalry of the Red Sox and Yankees in general. As the 2008 installment of this commences this weekend, the greatest game [...]

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 [...]

What Is Salary Abritration

Thursday, January 17th, 2008

Kevin Youkilis, Javier Lopez and Kyle Snyder have all filed for salary arbitration. So what exactly does that mean? And should we care? The short answer is that, as a fan, it really doesn’t matter at all. They will still be on the team next year so you don’t have to [...]

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 [...]

List of Steroid Users and George Mitchell’s Roid Rage

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

As we all know, George Mitchell, a Director in the Boston Red Sox front office, and objective third party (how is this not a conflict of interest?) will be releasing a report today on the steroid probe that has been going on since March of 2006. The report will be online at 2:00 with [...]

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 [...]

The Jose Offerman Situation

Thursday, August 23rd, 2007

There is no actual video, but The Connecticut Post had a photographer there that capture most of what happened and is displayed in this video, along with some interesting sound effects.

Here is a local news story outlining many of the aftermath details

And hear from the pitcher who was attached, Matt Beech

Sure sounds like some kind [...]

What Happened to Matt Clement

Wednesday, August 22nd, 2007

We all know how the story started out - the Red Sox tried to get Matt Clement from the Cubs all season in 2004. When it was announced that Nomar was heading to Chicago, I, along with many other Sox fans I’m sure, expected Clement to be coming here for the stretch run in [...]

Wakefield Dominant - Kazmir Not

Tuesday, August 21st, 2007

Keep Smiling Tim! Yes, after all the preaching about how the Red Sox can’t hit lefties and Scott Kazmir is their kryptonite, of course, the Sox put up some runs on him early last night. This is something I am very happy to be wrong about! Apparently Mike Lowell did not read [...]
