Walking down Boylston Street today around 5:45, you would have been hard pressed to notice any signs that there’d been a parade there today. The barriers were gone, as were the throngs of fans. Street sweepers and the Back Bay’s prodigious winds had already carried away most of the confetti, and traffic had […]

I’ll have much much more later, but for now… congratulations to the 2007 Boston Red Sox, champions of baseball. It was a long season, occasionally a difficult season, and in the end a remarkable season. They’ve earned every measure of this, and every single player - from Josh Beckett to Mike Lowell to […]

Because I am an idiot, I managed to turn off the site for a few hours this afternoon while screwing around with coding. Thanks to not being a completely hopeless idiot, however, I’ve managed to un-break it. No need to thank me.

Hey look, a baseball game.

Let’s get one thing straight before I dive in: emotionally, I want the Sox to win tonight. I want then to crush this Rockies team like no team has been crushed before. I want this team to be known as the best in baseball, with a huge freakin’ exclamation point after it. […]

…it feels good to be wrong.

The Boston Red Sox are one win away from their seventh World Series title, and second in 4 years. They’ve outscored the Rockies 25-7 over these three games, gotten huge contributions from everyone on the roster, and have absolutely and completely asserted that they are the best team in […]

Just a few random things to keep an eye on tonight as the Sox make their first trip to Denver in a few years:

Matsuzaka’s breaking pitches: probably more than any other Sox pitcher, Matsuzaka relies on a steady diet of breaking balls when he’s on.  The issue, though, is the [...]

Was I the first one to make that joke? Was I? Please?

So, the Sox have won both of the opening home games - the first a trouncing at the hands of a clearly rusty and off Jeff Francis and the second a very tight battle that honestly could have gone either way. […]

More tomorrow, but… wow. The Sox just put a serious hurting on the Rockies, and made this blog look bad in the process. Not that I mind.

Not only did we win this game in highly convincing fashion, but we seriously damaged their bullpen, ate their ace for dinner, held their vaunted offense to […]

I’m worried I didn’t give quite enough credit to the Rockies in the middle of that analysis. So let me say this: what that team has done is extraordinary. In the end, they were the strongest team in the NL, certainly, but that’s not always a guarantee of anything. To go out […]

God damn, that was a fun post title to write.

We’re here, folks. after approximately 9,000 “They’re done! They suck!” moments over the course of the regular season and the ALCS, the Boston Red Sox await the arrival of the Colorado Rockies, and Josh Beckett will throw the first pitch of the 2007 World […]
