500

And of course, the day I write all that, it’s already out of date. Frank Thomas today became the 21st player in history to join the 500 HR club, doing so against Carlos Silva of the Minnesota Twins.

All of this has caused me to geek out in a major way, in order to answer […]

Who Wants To See Me Hit Some DINGERS?

Recalling an earlier post, I want to make sure that readers are aware of the magnitude of the historical circumstances of the 2007 season, in terms of the home run milestones it offers. Here are the highlights:

Sammy Sosa, only a short time ago, became just the 5th player in history [...]

And Speaking of Chicago Pitchers…

I’m going to reserve most of my thoughts on the potential Mark Buerhle trade until it comes down (if it comes down), but I’ll just say this: I will not be happy if any of the names associated with the trade are Ellsbury, Buchholz, or Bowden. Anyone else - including, I think, Jon Lester […]

Another Voice in the Crowd

So, I guess I don’t have anything to say about Rod Beck that hasn’t been said. He was a classic ballplayer of a type you really don’t see as much of anymore - the fat, smoking, beer-chugging dude that looked like he’d be home in a pool hall more than on a Major League […]

Quick Quiz:

Name the Sox pitcher with the lowest ERA in the last 30 calendar days.

I’ll give you a second.

Nope, not him.

Or him.

Think uglier.

If that last clue allowed you to successfully select this man:

You win something.

Yes, Julian Tavarez leads all Sox starters with a 3.41 ERA since May 21st. The full list in that span:

Julian Tavarez, […]

2007 Amateur Draft

Today was the first round of the 2007 amateur draft, which I’ve covered in a lot more detail in past years. This year I didn’t as much, both because of general laziness and because, unlike in 2005 and 2006, the Sox had a very limited number of high draft picks. In 2007, the […]

Why Does Joe Torre Hate Scott Proctor?

Does anyone have a better explanation for what just happened? Proctor pitched to probably five hitters that he shouldn’t have. Hell, it’s possible the Yankees as a whole just hate the man, because they played some incredibly sloppy ball behind him. That 7th was an incredibly ugly inning, and it turned what […]

June Predictions

I know, I just posted yesterday. Don’t expect me to make it a habit.

In any case, after the best month of Sox baseball since August of 2004 (21-7), this team stands a full 10 games ahead of the rest of the AL East, with the best record in baseball, the best run differential in […]
