the red sox cup

turn out the lights, the party's over

2006-08-21T14:28:00.000-07:00

has the glow from 04 worn off already. this weekend was absolutely pathetic. the kids came up with big goose eggs ('cept for Pap), the stopper of the future (Beckett) looked like Samuel Beckett on the mound, and the lineup looked like they couldn't beat the North Shore Spirit. To top it off they got their heads handed to them by the one that got away in CF. I'm starting to lose faith in the wunderkid GM. How bad is it looking now not signing Pedro, Lowe, or Damon? How bad is the Clement signing looking? Wily Mo Pena? Beckett's extension? Has Beckett beaten anybody over 500 since June? No. He's beaten up on KC and the NL, while being slapped around by the Yanks and Tigers. if he's the future of this rotation, we're fucked. I'm sorry, I know they're trying to build for the future, but right now none of the moves they've made look good. Would Roy Oswalt have been better than Jon Lester? Definitely! Does it look like Hanson, Del Carmen, and Van Buren are going to be able to handle the pressure of pitching in a Yanks Sox series at Fenway late in the season? A resounding NO! The only one who should have been off limits tradewise should have been Papelbon. Everyone else should've been fair game. I know it's a tough weekend, but this is not a knee jerk reaction. When you have a line up of Alex Cora, Mike Lowell, Mark Loretta going agains Rodriguez, Jeter, Giambi, Damon, et. al., what do you think the results are going to be??? Man oh man. Thank god the Patriots start in a couple of weeks!

congratulations, shea!

2006-07-21T08:15:00.000-07:00

she may not be as cute as suri or shiloh, but with a dad like you, she's guaranteed to be just as much of a diva!

shit

2006-06-07T06:42:00.000-07:00

how much longer is fran-coma going to rely on that piece of shit seanez? he has done nothing for this team. everytime he comes in it's a guaranteed run being scored, if not more than one. 25 hits, 12 BB, 11 ER, 14R, 4HR in 23IP. his era with runners in scoring position is 6.43. and fran-coma still continues to go to him in clutch situations. jesus h.!

fran-coma has to be one of the worst managers i've seen in terms of handling his staff. he lets people go too long, doesn't get guys up in the bullpen on time, or gets them up and leaves them lingering out there. what the fuck?????

also, is anybody else completely down on varitek? i mean, that fucking error the other night started the whole downward spiral. how fucking stupid is he? has he been playing in this league for almost 9 years or what? he threw the ball around like a little leaguer, then leaves the fucking plate uncovered!? that set the tempo for the whole fucking night.

i'm so sick of this fucking team.

although i'm sure that'll change. lol

look out for the 'bloody sock' fatality...

2006-05-24T13:52:00.000-07:00

oh well, its not like he could pitch or play centerfield anyway...

2005-10-31T17:12:00.000-08:00

but seriously, WHATTHEFUCK?!?!?!?!

it looks like the reason was the fucking curly haired boyfriend's article on sunday or something. can we run that fucker out of town now, please?

"A leading contributing factor, according to sources close to the situation, was a column in Sunday’s Boston Globe in which too much inside information about the relationship between Epstein and his mentor, team president and CEO Larry Lucchino, was revealed -- in a manner slanted too much in Lucchino’s favor. Epstein, according to these sources, had several reasons to believe Lucchino was a primary source behind the column and came to the realization that if this information were leaked hours before Epstein was going to agree to a new long-term deal, it signaled excessive bad faith between him and Lucchino."

Henry shoulda fired lucchino over this to keep theo. bullshit.

here's the CHB's article. what a fucking cunt.
"What is alarming -- for the future of the Sox franchise -- is Theo's sudden need to distance himself from those who helped him rise to his position of power."

i don't understand why they even fucked around with him. just give him what he wants and stay out of his way. i think the nomar trade should have shown them that he would have the balls to walk away from this if he thought it was best for him.

good luck in whatever you do, Theo, and thanks a hell of a lot for the past 3 years. it was the best baseball time of my life.

i'm a little rusty, but i think i remember how this goes...

2005-10-11T12:23:00.000-07:00

wait 'til next year!

much less painful saying that when we know what it actually felt like last year.

francona did a good job with the patchwork pitching he had, starting and the pen.

i think (esp after watching him celebrate with the angels) not signing o-cab and having renteria make 30 errors at shortstop was the difference this year, at least division-wise.
you figure those 30 errors lead to how many unearned runs and extra pitches thrown? say there were three games we would have won without one of those errors.
thats the divison.
you couls also say the same thing about foulke stubbornly playing on a bum knee for the first couple months too. again, 3 games.

and i wouldnt have minded game 1 being played as i took my vows. a game 7, well...

Game over.

2005-10-07T18:59:00.000-07:00

1-2-3
3 and out. Obviously we didn't have "it" this year. Whatever the "it" was we didn't have it this time around. Lousy pitching was the main factor. Anyone else miss Cabrera at shortstop? So disappointing, but part of me is glad it is all over, no dragging on with the inevitable result.

well...

2005-10-06T10:09:00.000-07:00

we've been here before.

and it worked out with oakland and the yankees...
maybe we take the two at home, but then who knows what happens next?

always the bridesmaid...

2005-10-03T08:00:00.000-07:00

but hey, the wildcard worked out pretty well last year.

the playoff picture

2005-09-30T13:14:00.000-07:00

Red Sox swept by Yankees
Indians win 0: Red Sox-Indians playoff 1

Indians win 2: Indians win wild card
Indians win 3: Indians win wild card

Red Sox win 1
Indians win 0: Sox win wild card

Red Sox win 2
Indians win 0: Red Sox win wild card

Red Sox sweep Yankees
Indians win 0: Red Sox win East, Yankees win wild card
Indians win 1: Red Sox win East, Indians-Yankees playoff 4
Indians win 2: Red Sox win East, Indians win wild card
Indians win 3: Red Sox win East, Indians win wild card

1. Red Sox-Indians playoff game would be played Monday in Boston, with (most likely) Bronson Arroyo facing Cliff Lee (just as in 1948, the Red Sox and Indians met in a one-game playoff at Fenway for the American League pennant).
2. In the event that all three contenders finish at 95-67 -- a distinct possibility -- they'll engage in a first-time-ever three-team, two-day playoffs. On Monday, the Yankees would host the Red Sox in a battle for the East title. And immediately after the game, the loser would travel to Cleveland for a one-game playoff for the wild card.

3. Yankees host the Red Sox in a winner-take-all for the East flag. Presumably, Bucky Dent will be in the Stadium to throw out the first pitch.

4. Indians host Yankees in one-game playoff for wild card, Lee against Shawn Chacon (sorry, no precedent for this one; as near as I can tell, these teams have never played a game at the end of the season that meant something to both of them).

its been a while

2005-09-30T13:10:00.000-07:00

and here we go again.

from the globe, just now:

Red Sox give Wakefield extension
Deal will probably keep him in Sox uniform for the rest of his career
By Boston.com Staff

The Red Sox and Tim Wakefield agreed to a contract extension today that will keep the knuckleballer with the Red Sox through at least 2006 and very likely for the rest of his career, the team announced.

The Sox will have the option to extend the contract for 2007 and any season thereafter. The contract will remain in effect as long as the Red Sox continue to exercise their yearly option. Terms were not disclosed.

“For the last 11 years, Tim Wakefield has represented the best of the Boston Red Sox,” general manager Theo Epstein said. “His continuing contributions to the success of the franchise on the field are matched only by his dedication to community service. This agreement virtually guarantees Wake will retire as a Boston Red Sox, which is fitting. In the long, proud history of this franchise, few men have brought greater honor to the uniform.”

The 38-year-old Wakefield is the longest-tenured Red Sox player, having signed with the club in 1995.

i'll put up the pics from the north hollywood fenway opener as soon as i get...less lazy?

Guess who is back in professional baseball? Everyone's best friend, John Rocker. I wondered what had happened to him.

ah ha!

2005-04-07T11:05:00.000-07:00

explained at last:

"Francona has had to remain on blood-thinning medication, which gives him frequent chills and requires him to wear a sweatshirt over his uniform top. "

on the other side?

Question for the new season

2005-03-28T07:22:00.000-08:00

Spring training is winding down and the new season is right around the corner. Can anyone explain why Byung Hyun Kim (AKA Ball long gone) is still playing with the Redsox, any team for that matter? He sucks so bad and he has sucked for a long time now. What is the deal? I just don't understand.

2005-03-19T12:13:00.000-08:00

So with all the shit going on about steroids in baseball. How long do you figure before someone attempts to kill Jose Canseco? Obviously there is a steroid problem in sports in general. I don't feel it was Jose's place to name names. If he wanted to come out and say that he was a user and that there is steroid abuse through out all of baseball. I have no problem with that, he has the right to say those things. Giving out names and pointing fingers, that is wrong.

He may need the money but I bet he makes more enemies so he better spend it quick.

y kant curt spell?

2005-02-16T14:27:00.000-08:00

who cares though, i think it's fucking awesome that a player interacts directly with the fans like he does. i wish some others would join in.

so i'm sure everyone has read about trot talking shit about a-fraud. if not, you can read it here.

a thread started on SOSH, and after a couple pages gehrig38 (that's curt) chimed in:

Re: Trot discusses A-rod
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure about the STFU part. What alot of people miss entirely here, especially in the case of AROD and I, is that quite a bit of the stuff on my end of the discussion was said A LONG time ago. I've done 4 media days in 4 months. I say no unless the people doing the stuff can all fit the stuff into a single day, and then that day I do it all back to back to back to get it over with. I understand it's part of the game, but in the off season it is something I have 100% control of. So how and when you see interviews and comments is entirely up to the media.

FWIW it's ironic to watch the comments about this stuff from my perspective. You guys and gals are reacting to the comments going back and forth with stuff like "STFU" and other things when it's nothing more than what you people do at work everyday. You talk about each other, and most times not when that other person is in the room, this is no different. They are co-employees, and competitors. Nothing I've said or read should be "inspiring" to Alex, since I've said the play was bush league, which it was, and that I didn't like him, alot. So what? That's my opinion. Why should Alex give a rats ass that I dislike him? Better yet why do you think reporters continue to ask the questions? It's space filling grit, and peolpe eat that crap up. I do agree with what alot of NYY fans said late last year after my comments about Alex and what other people had said about him, there was no time and place for that, esp not then, and I have said as much publicly since then, not sure those comments ever made it to print.

Any of you read Jose's book yet? Got through like 6 chapters and just couldn't go on. Oh I think there are things that raise the eyebrows and that you can't stick your head in the sand over, but the whole book, to me anyway, is a finger pointing excersize on why his life went to @#%$. Everyone else is to blame and the game is racist. He was awesome and he really didn't do anything wrong, at least nothing that others didn't do, so why should he be blackballed?

the actual red sox cup!!

true boston sports fan

2005-02-11T16:38:00.000-08:00

it's hilarious, all this week NESN has been replaying the yankees' series. i watched games 6 and 7 ,and even though i knew the outcome of the games, i still had taht pit of angst in my stomach watching them lol one of the professors at school, who's a yankees fan by the way, said to me "man, you're definitely a scarred boston sports fan aren't you?" too f'n funny. of course then i went on to remind him that the yankees pulled the biggest choke job in all of sports history, much to his chagrin. ;) awwww life, sweet life.

you poor bastards

whoo hoo!

Happy Festivus! (for the rest of us)

it's miller time

2004-12-23T10:34:00.000-08:00

now we have to trade millar.

miller, millar, and mueller is just too damn confusing...

anyway, seems like a good deal, sox really can't go wrong with it. if he's good, great, if he's not, oh well. it's not like we sunk kim money into him.

i just hope theo's gift to the nation (well, second gift) is announcing the varitek signing on christmas.

i dont practice renteria...

2004-12-21T11:29:00.000-08:00

but i got a crystal ball.

so goodbye dave "he stole the bag! roberts stole the bag!!" roberts
(okay, so there was no actual quote like that. but there should have been.)

and orlando cabrera.

it was short and very, very, VERY sweet.

now would you PLEASE get rid of that no trade demand, 'tek?

and green, you know you love LA, you love it! so don't go waiving your no trade clause to go to crappy arizona, okay?

pedro

2004-12-14T17:34:00.000-08:00

sad to see you go, amigo.

i'm sorry that you didnt think the sox did everything they could to keep you, but they really did, within reason.

i'm not bitter, you gave the sox your best years (i hope you did... dont get all rocket on us now), and they were some of the best fucking games anyone has ever pitched in a sox uniform. from, was it '99-'01?, almost every start you gave us was phenomenal, and i'll never forget them.

any sox fan that is pissed at management for not giving you that fourth year of respect that you wanted so bad doesnt understand what it takes to put a winning team on the field. we love you, but please...

good luck in new york, you money-grubbing shitbum.
(can you tell i'm conflicted?)

Should be a good read.

2004-11-15T15:27:00.000-08:00

This was posted on Stephen King's Website

Faithful - In Stores November 21st!
Early in 2004, two writers and Red Sox fans, Stewart O'Nan and Stephen King, decided to chronicle the upcoming season, one of the most hotly anticipated in baseball history. They would sit together at Fenway. They would exchange emails. They would write about the games. And, as it happened, they would witness the greatest comeback ever in sports, and the first Red Sox championship in eighty-six years, as the team put '86 behind them and eighty-sixed the Curse.

A-Rod. Schilling. Sheffield. Foulke. The hot stove league was smoking. In April, the Sox took six of seven from New York Yankees. Youkilis was the Greek God of Walks. Local boy Mark Bellhorn found his bat. June was a disaster. Then Nomar went to Chicago, Varitek shoved A-Rod, Billy Mueller proved to be a Yankee killer, and this team never looked back, logging an astounding August and a solid September to claim the wild card. In the playoffs they killed the Angels, then ran into those damn Yankees. Who saved the Pennant race? David Ortiz. Who hit the only grand slam? Johnny Damon. Who's your daddy? Papi is. Down three games to none, down to their last three outs, the Red Sox rose from the dead to make history. Nothing left to do but sweep up. What began as a Sox-filled summer like any other is now a fan's notes for the ages.
Posted 30 October 2004

so....

2004-11-09T17:46:00.000-08:00

just because the season is over nobody wants to post anymore? c'mon ya douches, speak up. there's still so much to discuss. do you care if steinbrenner signs pedro, lowe, and varitek? i say let 'em push his payroll higher and higher until he puts himself into bankruptcy! fuck him. talk to me people.

1918 is eightysixed.

2004-10-28T11:18:00.000-07:00

i watched the same sportscenter twice last night, and then again this morning. (making me late for work)

i haven't done a goddamn thing at work today yet. hey, big papi told me i could take the day off, so they're lucky i came in to keep my seat warm!

i wish i could be there for the parade that is expected to attract 5 million people.
5 million people.

5 million people.

wow.

what else to say?

luckily we have bill simmons and peter gammons, and hell, even the curly-haired boyfriend has been on a poetic roll lately.

they can speak for us.

i hope stephen king knows that he and that other dude have to write a book about the sox EVERY season now.
I know this blogs not going anywhere, and me and angie have to hit fenway at least once a season now.
and that candle her yankee loving uncle gave her for her birthday that was lit at the start of game 4 against the yanks and every game since is going to be packed away for next year.

spend $200 million!!! sign 'em all!!!!

There is joy in Mudville

2004-10-26T18:49:00.000-07:00

Pedro had a chance to help the cause but he strikes out looking. Stick to throwing strikes.

Bottom of the 3rd

2004-10-26T18:36:00.000-07:00

Suppan was supposed to be automatic out. Damn it

Manny was swinging at junk to.
Big Papi leading off next time around

no WAY did bellhorn go around.

you think he's gonna become the first player in a single postseaon to homer off foul poles in three different stadiums?

pedro leading off next inning. interesting.
the 8 spot is even more important than the leadoff spot with NL rules..

QUE NO!

Top 2nd game 3

2004-10-26T18:04:00.000-07:00
