Wah, wah, wah… That’s the noise you heard coming from the Angels dugout after the Red Sox rallied for a 3rd time to win 9-8 in the 9th inning at Fenway Park.  Gimme a break – don’t put your team in a position to lose, and then you don’t have to bitch about “bad umpiring”. [...]

Daisuke Magical as Red Sox Continue to Roll…

I didn’t see this one coming – 6 scoreless innings from Dasiuke Matsuzaka as he pitched into the 7th inning – – unbelievable!!!  If Matsuzaka is truly healthy and really has his stuff figured out, the Red Sox could be ready to roll right into the Fall Classic in October.  I am giddy! Loved the [...]

Rain Forces Day/Late Afternoon Double-Header on Sunday @ Fenway Park

MLB, the Red Sox &  Rays & the weathermen (what do they know?) all thought that there would be enough of a window to play Friday night’s game at Fenway Park.  They were all wrong, and Jon Lester was not happy about it. Because there is also rain in the forecast for Saturday, the teams [...]
