Pedro’s Return

Pedro Martinez is returning to the mound today for the first time since September 27th of last year. Out all season following shoulder surgery, he returns to a Mets team that desperately needs pitching, but has no idea what it will get from Pedro’s right arm.

I’ve already written everything I need to about the […]

Say Goodnight, Wily Mo.

“Good night Wily Mo.”

Listen, I liked the trade when it happened, and I’ll still defend it as a smart move; we gave away a declining pitcher for a legitimate young player with significant power potential. It didn’t work, and that happens. I honestly don’t believe that makes it a bad move; sometimes good […]

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 […]

Rajah

Here’s a shocker: I don’t care.

Actually, I do. I care that the Yankees, who have been throwing guys that have only marginally more pitching talent than I have out to the mound all year, have added a veteran pitcher who will likely provide them with somewhat above-average performance for the rest of the year, […]

A Final Word on Wells

I’ve had an odd relationship with David Wells over the last couple of years - one that’s now come to an end with his trade to the Padres (see below). I just wanted to take a moment and give some respect to this guy, who takes a lot of shit (some of it deserved) […]

7/24

It almost slipped past me, but then I remembered why today’s date sounded familiar: today is the two year anniversary of one of the very best games of the Sox’ 2004 run. Two year ago tonight, after a long rain delay and near cancellation, the Sox stepped it up against the Yankees, beating them […]

45

Tonight, we come to bury Caesar. Today, though, we come to praise him.

Some time not long after 7:05 pm tonight, Pedro Martinez will do something he’s never done before: stride to the mound at Fenway Park in the bottom half of the inning. For 7 years, we watched him open ballgames, baffling hitters with a […]

Tomorrow Night

I’m going to have a lot more to say about Pedro’s return to Fenway later tonight, both at Fire Brand and here, but:

In a stunning development, my friend Jeremy just happened to have an extra standing room ticket to tomorrow night’s game, which I’ve now procured. So I’ll be there, screaming my head off […]

Panic Mode

The Red Sox just traded Josh Bard and Cla Meredith for Doug Mirabelli, and I’m pretty pissed off about it.

Listen. Sure, it was rough seeing Bard try to catch the knuckler. a couple runs even scored because of it. I’ve pointed out before that Doug Mirabelli wasn’t exactly great shakes with the […]

2005 In Review

2005 is about to officially become history (and, in some places, it already has). With that in mind, I wanted to take a quick look back at the past 365 days, from a Sox point of view, pointing out the major events of the last year in Red Sox Nation.

January

The Sox lose three additional […]
