Yaz Hospitalized in Boston

ddumont ddumont posted 8/19/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Carl Yastrzemski, one of the best ballplayers to ever grace a Major League uniform, and last player to win the triple-crown award, was hospitalized today at Mass General for what his spokesman described as chest pains. The following comes from the Boston Herald: [...]

Alicia Sacramone: Beantown Forgives You
Alicia Sacramone: Beantown Forgives You

ddumont ddumont posted 8/19/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Last week, millions of households witnessed the Winchester, MA native and Olympian gymnast, Alicia Sacramone, and her struggles in Beijing. After a horrific fall on the balance beam (which might have cost the U.S. a gold medal), she was inevitably robbed of a medal by the Olympic judges during the vault competition. Sacramone completed two clean attempts while China’s Cheng Fei made a ...

Varitek & Heidi Watney in Cahoots, If You Know What I Mean
Varitek & Heidi Watney in Cahoots, If You Know What I Mean

ddumont ddumont posted 8/18/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Is Jason Varitek’s personal life affecting his performance on the field? The answer is no. If you haven’t heard by now, ‘Tek and his wife, Karen, recently split-up after 12 years of marriage. We’re hearing the news now, but Varitek filed for divorce about 3 weeks ago. One can make a case that Varitek’s struggles at the plate may pertain to his off-the-field issues. It’s surely a ...

Middle Relief’s Day Off
Middle Relief’s Day Off

ddumont ddumont posted 8/13/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Any type of baseball game’s outcome in which the final tally compares to that of an NFL score is a thrilling game to watch — last night’s Red Sox/Rangers game lived up to it as the Sox edged the Texas bombers, 19-17. The Red Sox exploded with a 10-run first inning, capped off by David Ortiz’ 2 HR’s and 6 RBI’s. I started to see remnants of the Red Sox/Marlins game back in ‘03 in Fenway. The ...

Another case of “Nancy” Drew
Another case of “Nancy” Drew

ddumont ddumont posted 8/12/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Normally I wouldn’t ponder about the performance of Drew, especially one day after he hammered a go-ahead double in last night’s 5-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox, but his comments after the game sent a friendly reminder of the type of player he’s been — soft. “It’s almost like an off day, but it’s not,” Drew said. “It’s a nice break for the legs, the stress of going after balls in the..

Zink to Boston? And “Taylor” Buchholz struggles continue..

ddumont ddumont posted 8/11/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Michael Silverman of the Boston Herald reported this morning: “Wakefield was supposed to start tomorrow’s homestand opener against the Texas Rangers, but instead will go on the disabled list. A replacement has yet to be named, but Michael Bowden, today’s scheduled starter for Triple-A Pawtucket, is a top candidate with Devern Hansack a possibility as well.” The reports have apparently...

Brian Giles is a Meathead - Nixes trade to Boston
Brian Giles is a Meathead - Nixes trade to Boston

ddumont ddumont posted 8/8/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

If you haven’t heard the recent news by now, the Red Sox claimed Brian Giles off waivers yesterday and have 48 hours to work out a possible trade to bring the veteran outfielder to Boston. The real question we have to ask ourselves is, why? Rumor has it that Theo placed in the claim simply to deny the Angles or Rays a shot at picking up the 37-year-old. In that case, this ordeal indeed makes...

Schwarzenegger to Ellsbury: "Milk is for babies"
Schwarzenegger to Ellsbury: "Milk is for babies"

ddumont ddumont posted 8/7/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

After last night's preponderance over the Kansas City Royals, you can bet Jacoby Ellsbury was flexing his muscles in the clubhouse mirror, aspiring to look like Arnold before his 6th run at Mr. Olympia in South Africa. It was Ellsbury's towering 3-run blast that helped spur the 8-2 Red Sox victory. For the past couple months, Ellsbury has been sleeping with the fishes. During the hiatus, ...

Joba’s Injury is a Lesson Learned.
Joba’s Injury is a Lesson Learned.

ddumont ddumont posted 8/7/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Maybe it’s just a coincidence that Joba Chamberlain was recently placed on the DL due to right shoulder tendinitis — maybe this was simply a foregone conclusion. The fact of the matter is the Yankees ownership wanted the fire-baller to be a starting pitcher, so they quickly tried to groom the reliever to try to handle a starting pitchers workload. The Steinbrenners raised eyebrows as many...

Red Sox Love Playing Wall Ball
Red Sox Love Playing Wall Ball

ddumont ddumont posted 8/6/2008 from www.lansdowne9.com

Apparently the Boston Red Sox have an affinity for tinkering with road teams parks, more specifically, the walls. It all started back in New York and it involved Kevin Youkilis and Johnny Damon. During a series against the Yankees, Youkilis smashed a deep fly to left. Johnny Damon went backed and the ball deflected off his glove and literally sat on top of the wall. It was a wacky night ...

Terry Francona: You a right, Joe (Maddon)…I don’t…have…spades. (flips cards over) Terry Francona: Aces…Full. As of today, the team with the most momentum heading into this week’s All Star break is none other than the Boston Red Sox. After a dreaded road trip in which the Sox dropped 7 of 10 games, the team was 5 and a half games from the then first ...

The Struggles of “All Star” Jason Varitek.

ddumont ddumont posted 7/7/2008 from www.ondeckfantasy.com

We at On Deck Sports are not prone to downing a home town player, more importantly, the captain of the Boston Red Sox, Jason Varitek. Varitek has been in the most brutal slump of his career, and being in Boston it’s become much chronicled news. Major league players and managers have voted in Varitek as a reserve in this year’s All Star game at Yankee Stadium. His selection has raised plenty ...

Earlier this year my girlfriend’s father decided to take a trip to Canada to catch the Red Sox play in Toronto. The night before game 2 of the series, he was at a club and decided to go upstairs to check out the VIP section. Who was there? None other than Sox pitcher Manny Delcarmen. He witnessed Delcarmen consume a fair amount of alcohol during this time. The night happened to be an omen ...

ddumont ddumont posted 6/18/2008 from www.ondeckfantasy.com

As many of you now know, I am a big fan of guys that play the game the right way. Guys who respect the game. Guys who truly enjoy playing, and would play the game even if they weren’t getting paid. Sure, there are many of these guys in the NBA today, but one guy exemplifies ‘class’ and how the game should be played. That guy is Walter Ray Allen, you may also know him as Jesus ...

Violent Swings Lead to Stiff Backs

ddumont ddumont posted 6/17/2008 from www.ondeckfantasy.com

This was Bartolo Colon’s big time to shine, a time to show the world what he can do at the plate, an opportunity to transfer his 245lbs frame(that’s what he’s listed as…I’ll take the over) into a home run hitting machine. At least that’s what Colon was out to try to do last night but failed miserably. Maybe he was trying to make up for his lackluster performance on the mound which included 4 ...
