Flame Out

Published 8 hours ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

What's with the Hot Stove League talk? Let it go. I don't want to talk about pitching roles, trades and free agency, or retirements during the ALCS. Is A-Rod dictating the discussion? Last night's game certainly had both a dramatic and artistic success. Daisuke Matsuzaka carried a no-no into the ...

BS = Balfour S&^%

Published 28 hours ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

Don Drysdale used to take a shortcut to an intentional walk...hit the batter. Grant Balfour comes in to face J.D. Drew with men on second and third and nearly beans him. Ron Darling says, "we know Balfour's not trying to hit him." I'm not saying he threw at his head, just that he wasn't ...

"There's No Crying in Baseball"

Published 4 days ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

The Red Sox lost eight of nine to the Angels during the regular season. So what? When it has counted, the Sox have dominated the Halos winning twelve of thirteen postseason contests. What have you done for us lately? Just win, baby! The Angels botched the squeeze play, had regular defensive ...

No Sideshows, Just Baseball

Published 6 days ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

The Sox returned home to "America's Most Beloved Ballpark" (or something like that) amidst a tidal wave of political advertisements on TBS. God forbid. Josh Beckett had good stuff, but lacking command, yielded a pair of homers to the Angels' Mike Napoli. So the Angels have 100 percent of their ...

Stepping Up

Published 10 days ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

The last time the Sox faced the Angels, they were in the last throes of the Ramirez era, with Manny quitting on the team. Manny's migration improved two teams, illustrated today. Jon Lester affirmed Terry Francona's faith with seven strong innings (one earned run), and superior eighth inning ...

Here and There

I saw a great pitching effort today. But it wasn't at Fenway. Tim Lincecum above (Cy Dwarf) won his eighteenth game, and had strikeouts for the first nine outs of the game, the first time that has been done since 1986. Amidst chants of "Beat LA" the Giants' ace fanned thirteen as the 24 year ...

Soxcapades

Published 21 days ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

The Red Sox version 2008.1 are on the cusp of making the playoffs. When you have the kind of talent and payroll the Sox have, you're supposed to qualify. In fact, the Yankees have convenient excuses (Wang, Posada, Hughes) for their showing, but what has that got to do with the Melk-man not ...

Pleasantly Reprised

Published 27 days ago by TBA (noreply@blogger.com) at Red Sox Reality Check

The Red Sox had a problem at Fenway Park. It wasn't managerial incompetence or a lack of talent on the field. The problem was Fenway Park and the ballpark experience. Adding seats contributed revenue, as did more signage, and aggressive merchandising. But more than renovating the ballpark, they ...
