The Red Sox Are Closer To The Precipice Than It Seems
As much as Red Sox fans were talking about Indians closer Joe Borowski, how he was obviously going to blow any lead handed to him, he is still a Major League Baseball pitcher. Pretty much every pitcher in baseball is going to throw more innings in which he gives up no runs, than he will in which he ...
Who's Scared Of Joe Borowski? The Red Sox, It Seems
The Red Sox and their fans might have been licking their proverbial chops at the notion of seeing Joe Borowski trying to finish up a close game ... but, then again, we suspect Indians fans weren't exactly quaking in their knickers at having to face J.D. Drew in the ninth either. The Indians have a ...
A 2007 Postseason Baseball Game With Something On The Line
It's an early start for the ALCS tonight, 7 p.m. ET, which the game should be over before midnight. Absolutely. Possibly. Perhaps?...
The Red Sox Have Had Just About Enough Of This Gagne Fellow
So, Red Sox fans, how are you feeling about Eric Gagne these days?...
ALCS Blogdome: Eric Gagne Is In Ur Bullpen ...
A look at what the Boston Red Sox Internets are saying following their 11-6 loss in extra innings to the Cleveland Indians in Game 2 of the American League Championship Series ......
Curse Of The Trotino?
The Curse of the Trotino was said to have begun after the Boston Red Sox let longtime outfielder Trot Nixon, never referred to as The Trotino, go to the Cleveland Indians. Yes? No? Too much? I'll stop....
Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You
We are posting this just to prove to you that we actually stay up and watch all these games. We know it's a weekend. Skeets will be back with you tomorrow. But man: We are so glad we aren't one of those Red Sox fans who stayed up until 1:30 a.m. for that 11th inning. Heavens....
My Socks Are Bloody With Anticipation
I'm with Shanoff on this one: the Red Sox may have beat the snot out of C.C. and the Indians Friday, but, regardless of that outcome, the winner of Game 2 tonight — 8:21 pm EDT, FOX — will win this series. Well, that, and the difficult task of trying to beat God in the World Series....
The Red Sox Look Like They've Been Here Before
So much for that Game 1 pitching duel we were promised. Josh Beckett threw six innings of four-hit ball to outpitch (and outbanjo) C.C. Sabathia as the Sox squashed the Indians 10-3. As Beckett rolled — even after giving up that early "wind-homer" to Hafner — Sabathia struggled from the get-go. The ...
ALCS Pants Party: Red Sox Vs. Indians
It is merely a warped factor of history that we might consider these teams somehow equivalent victims of fate. The Indians are "Major League;" the Red Sox are "Fever Pitch." This is not your fault, Red Sox fans, but the truth, nevertheless....
Jonathan Papelbon Is The Lord Of The Dance!
They've stolen me Lucky Charms! Just to get your ready for tonight's American League Championship Series game, we thought we'd show you this, from, I guess, when the Sox clinched the East. You may have already seen it, but it really cannot be emphasized enough. I can't quite put my finger on why, b...
MLB Slaps Sen. Dodd On The Wrist
The only way just about anyone we know would ever donate money to a Presidential candidate has turned out to be bunk: Major League Baseball says Chris Dodd's Game 6 ALCS tickets promotion is against baseball rules....
Fans Love Their Boston Red Sox
We thought we'd honor each of the four teams left with a roundup of the nicest things each team's best blogs could say about them. See? We're sweet! Right now: The Boston Red Sox....
About The Only Chance You Have At Fenway ALCS Tickets
Back when we were interviewing Presidential candidates about sports, we talked to Chris Dodd, who gleefully touted his Red Sox fandom. Well, now he's putting your money where his mouth is. Or something....
Manny Ramirez And His Jazz Hands
We're pretty pleased that the Yankees won last night, not because we love the Yankees, necessarily, but because we finally have a series with a sense of competitiveness. Not only were the other three series sweeps, they were dominations; the Red Sox-Angels series was the only one that a game with a...
The Los Angeles Angels of Sucktown
Well I was going to wait for this baseball game to end to call it a weekend, but I think it's safe to say that it's over. The Boston Red Sox have exploded with seven runs in the eighth inning to take a 9-0 lead. The only runs that really mattered were the back-to-back solo shots from Big Papi and C...
Please, Anything But A Recount
The "votes" are "in," and the President of Red Sox Nation is ... oh, Jerry Remy. It's almost as if this whole thing was kind of dumb....
The Red Sox Are Feeling Awfully Good About Themselves
SI's Tom Verducci has an excellent rundown of just how dominant Josh Beckett was yesterday, and he was probably the biggest story yesterday: He made the Sox look like they were going to dominate the Angels like they did three years ago. That team has some swagger now. And that's all Red Sox fans ne...
ALDS Game 1 Live Blog: Red Sox Vs. Angels
We close out the day with our second live blog, though we can't imagine there are any Red Sox fans who didn't start working at 5:30 a.m. today to make sure they got out of the office in time for this game. Surely, there are West Coasters stuck. So, to close us out, we pass the mic to Sarah Schorno, ...
Playoff Pants Party: Red Sox Vs. Angels
The Red Sox didn't make the playoffs last year. That seems weird. We had been wondering why last year's playoffs seemed so bereft of histrionic drama!...
