I dig me some Terry Francona. Best manager the Red Sox ever had. Seemingly really good guy. Kept his mouth shut when he left Boston even though by all rights he could have (and some think he SHOULD have) just let loose and rip apart the team as put Boston in his rear view....
Sam Fuld wrote a first-person account for Grantland about how wonderful it was to beat the Yankees in that last game of the regular season. Whatever. Good for him. (Bitter? Me? NO!) Here’s what he says happened when the game was over: Someone asked Johnny Damon if this was as good as winning a...
I watched NESN’s live Spring Training coverage last night. Basically it consisted of a tour of the new park, interviews with Bobby Valentine and Daniel Bard and a segment where we got to watch Bard shoot baskets. Some fun stuff, actually, and I’m looking forward to more. But that was only on for an...
I know how (a lot of) you feel. You want to be excited. Pitchers and catchers report today! This is out day to be full of joy and happy and merry anticipation! But you have concerns or, worse yet, you don’t seem to care at all. You want to care, you do, but there...
This entry ends with the video of Mike Timlin talking about how selfless Tim Wakefield was a player…I’ve probably watched it twenty times today. It’s a wonderful testament to the type of person he is. I missed the Tim Wakefield press conference live. Had to run out so I hit record on the DVR....
Not blogging…heck in July I’ll have seven years of blogging under my belt. But today is a baseball-related anniversary just the same: Today will be the fifth time I actually make it into Fenway for Truck Day! I thought my fifth anniversary would be a good day to share some photos I’ve taken from...
I feel like I should at least make mention of the Patriots since I know many of you aren’t just Red Sox fans but Pats fans as well. While definitely a fan of them, football is not that sport that grips me and owns my heart. I remember when they lost to the Giants...
I’m going to write about Josh Hamilton. I promised myself I wouldn’t. Told myself to just shut up about it because everyone has an opinion and mine will probably offend a good portion of society and what purpose will it serve anyway? So I decided the safe way to go would be to just...
Once again, this year my friend Amy Blue has organized the Project Cupid Charity Date Auction to benefit the Jimmy Fund and Dana Farber. I’ve written before about Amy and the reason this cause is so dear to her. No one likes to talk about cancer, heck no one likes to think about it,...
I’m in the process of turning my brain back on to baseball full-time. I’ve been working on a project that has me going through photos of Red Sox games from 2005 up to last season and it’s getting me excited for the 2012 season. With this frame of mind, I decided to sit down...
Along with my passion for writing I have a true love for reading. So when I’m fortunate enough to be offered free books, I jump at the opportunity! The blog has brought me many good things, including friends, and the occasionally freebie thrown my way is more exciting when it’s a book. Recently, I...
I wish I had more to say about meeting Pedro at the New Stars for Young Stars Jimmy Fund event on Saturday. I was taken by surprise when my friend Kelly O’Connor told me she wanted to bring me with her to meet Pedro; I mean he’s probably the one Boston-related sports figure...
