Wahoo, You're Dead
Boss mentioned this casket- and urn-producing company in a Blogdome over a year ago, so you probably all remember it vividly, which means this post is a repeat. Does your loved one need a Major League Baseball logo emblazoned on their casket or urn? Is your loved one a Cleveland Indians fan? Until r...
Why, I'll Show You Rumormongering, Mr. Reporter Man
In the column inches of metro daily paper on a peaceful Saturday morning, somewhere between the high school box scores and soft news on retired athletes, you wouldn't expect to find a rant about blogs....
One More Time To Kill the Pain
Well here we are, staring at what's likely to be the final game of the 2007 Major League Baseball season. If Leitch were here he'd probably be inconsolable, but I think I'm handling it just fine. After the marathon regular season the post season has been unremarkable at best. I'm ready for next year...
Whose Side Is George Mitchell On?
As Ken Rosenthal related in his column yesterday, one of the first things Paul Byrd asked after being interviewed about that whole HGH business was, "Isn't George Mitchell with the Red Sox?"...
Kenny Lofton Will Make Certain You Lose
In the ninth inning of last night's ALCS Game 7, Fox showed a graphic detailing how Kenny Lofton seems to have some sort of postseason curse. But they only showed a small portion: The truth is far more gruesome....
Cleveland, You Have A Lot Of 'Splainin' To Do
What they're saying in parents' basements everywhere about Boston's 11-2 win over Cleveland in the deciding game of the American League Championship Series ......
Your American League Champion Boston Red Sox
No longer are the Red Sox the team overcoming decades of futility to emerge victorious. Instead, they are a increasingly dominant franchise going to the World Series for the second time in four years. It might not be the rapturous breakthough of 2004 ... and, of course, we're sure Red Sox fans woul...
The Team Wearing Red Should Win Tonight
Since this morning's revelation, Indians' pitcher Paul Byrd has defended his HGH purchases, asserting it was for a tumor on his pituitary gland. Oh sure, Byrdo, that's what all the veteran control pitchers say. Blame it on a tumor. Did Jon Lester blame it on a tumor? Hell no!...
J.D. Is No Longer A Scrub
Despite the NFL's best efforts — and because Roger Goodell has yet to ban it — the blogodecagon is still abuzz over last night's Red Sox 12-2 win in Game 6 of the ALCS. Let's see what all the fuss is about....
In The Words Of Boston's Generation, "UP... YOURS!"
"J.D. Drew hit a grand slam." That line speaks such volumes of how off Fausto Carmona was last night, that it usually saves sports columnists 600 words and gets people home earlier to spend quality time with the family. J.D. Drew had been making beat writers work overtime all season, now he's finall...
The Only Way A Sock Will Factor Into Game 6
As you might hear about 100,000,000 million times on the television tonight, Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS was Schilling's "bloody sock" game. And wouldn't you know, he's starting this year's Game 6 as well tonight, against the Lord of the Flies, Fausto Carmona....
He's Josh Beckett And You're Not
What they're saying this fine morning about Boston's 7-1 win over Cleveland in the American League Championship Series ......
At Least Two More Days Of Life In The ALCS
We find it telling that, the day after Josh Beckett once again saved the proverbial Red Sox hide, everyone was still talking about Manny Ramirez. It's amusing to watch reaction to Manny; people treat him like he's a normal human being rather than, you know, an alien. The trick is not to be mad that...
This Ain't Over
Don't be confused everyone, it's me, Unsilent Majority. I'm filling in tonight because Will was delayed in his travels or he just doesn't love you anymore...the text message wasn't entirely clear on that matter....
It Could Be A Late Night In Cleveland
The Indians might be trying to distract the Red Sox with ghosts of "relationships" past, but tonight, the National Anthem is the last thing on the minds of Indians fans. They're one game from their first World Series in a decade and going for their first title since 1948....
See, Now This Is Just Being Mean
Imagine you're facing one of the most important moments of your career, a moment in which you must be on top of your game and perform at your peak capacity. Everyone is counting on you; the whole world is watching. Concentration is paramount. And then, when the moment of truth comes, and you're read...
That Manny ... What's He Gonna Say Next?!
By now, everybody knows about Manny Ramirez's supposedly "controversial" comments about not "caring" whether or not the Red Sox win the ALCS....
