Are The Yankees Doomed?
That was quite a heartfelt mea culpa by WWL columnist Jeff Pearlman on Monday, eh? Basically, Pearlman proferred a sloppy apology to Joe Torre for writing off the Yankees — and calling for Torre's head — in May. You can get in on the fun right here. But here's the thing: What if New York still ends ...
The Orioles Were Who We Thought They Were
And Kevin Millar has left town ... no need to worry about him for awhile. For those who are not Boston fans (and therefore do not have their heads in ovens right now), it was ex-Sox Millar's game-winning home run that gave the Orioles a 6-3 win over the Sox on Sunday; while Jason Giambi was homering...
Chris Cooley's Gonna Have A Hot Wife
And now, boys and girls, it's time for a love story. It may resemble one you yourself have encountered, except this one involves people prettier than you. It's a story we've all heard: boy meets girl, girl is a cheerleader, boy meets another cheerleader, girls lose jobs because of boy, boy wins back...
Today's Story: Coco Crisp And The Very Careless Moose
It's always a sad thing when a moose goes bad. One minute he's delighting children with his playful antics, and the next ... vehicular assault. The victim: Boston's Coco Crisp, who was minding his own business, warming up for Sunday's game in Seattle against the Mariners. The assailant: Mariner Moos...
Pete Rose Wants Your Kids To Know About DiMaggio's Member
Ah, Pete Rose. Where would we be without him? Just having him around is comforting, soothing. Particularly when you invite him to speak to a U.S. Army Reds Legends Baseball Camp....
Kevin Garnett Brings The Heat
The Celtics landing Kevin Garnett was great and all, but I know that ever since the deal was announced, many of you have secretly longed to see Garnett in a Red Sox uniform. And so you shall. Don't get too exited, greater Boston area ... Garnett was at hand at Fenway on Wednesday just to throw out t...
A Big Trading Day, And In Baseball Too
It is perhaps baseball's misfortune to, on the one day a year everyone looks for baseball trades, have its thunder stolen by an NBA trade, but then again, no one's been waiting six years to see where Joel Pineiro would finally be traded....
"If [Saunder] says, 'Clinton I need you to run through that brick wall,' and that brick wall, it's hard to run through a brick wall, I've got to find a way to get as close as I can and dive over the top of this brick wall and tell him, '[Bleep], I made it over.' You know? 'I did it. I didn't do it t...
The Ballad Of Manny And Lefty
Well, it was bound to happen ... a columnist has mentioned "Boston Red Sox" and "Phil Mickelson" in the same sentence. Send all brickbats, white-powdered missives and death curses to Michael Ventre, who went ahead and declared the Red Sox "The Phil Mickelson of baseball." Wow....
Fenway Concessions Now Serving Flaming Moes
The Simpsons Movie is but a few scant hours away, and I must confess that I'm a little excited. And the Boston Globe is celebrating in its own way, employing that wonderful online utility, Simpsonize Me, to render several Red Sox players as they would look if they lived in Springfield and hung out w...
Dice-K And The Red Sox: Part Of This Complete Breakfast
The resignation on Bud Selig's face, and the fact that he's packed his giant swimming trunks, must mean that he's given in and will follow Barry Bonds around for a month or so until Hank's record is broken. So with that crisis solved, we can turn our attention to happier things ... super, terrific f...
Some Inspiring News For A Change, OK?
Forgive me for skipping the lovefest that is Bonds vs. Aaron today (no homers, Giants lose to Braves if you must know). All things being equal, I would have much rather attended Boston's 6-2 win over the Indians at Jacobs Field, because Jon Lester started for the Sox, went six innings and earned the...
The Red Sox Sewing Circle Now Officially Includes Simmons
We don't quite understand all the weird little in-jokes and politics of Boston Red Sox baseball, and, for this, we find ourselves rather fortunate. So maybe a Sox fan can translate this for us, because, apparently, NESN broadcaster Jerry Remy ripped into The Sports Feller on the Boston broadcast las...
You Could Be Rich Garces' BFF
You want a gift that keeps on giving? The Boston Globe is currently running what might be the greatest contest since "Whack J.D. Drew Day."...
Dan Shaughnessy Needs Your Help!
A couple of months ago, everybody's favorite Curly Haired Boyfriend — credit to Simmons: No nasty emails please, Bill! — Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy release a memoir about his son's senior year of high school baseball. Whatever your thoughts on this — and we suspect you have some — the bo...
Bad Day For Neshek
It was a bad day all around for Pat, who suffered his first loss last night. Fortunately, his beautiful designed Web site — not that we should talk — will keep updating, and even putting up these in-no-way-uncomfortable-to-watch videos. Next year, Pat. Next year....
