http://www.survivinggrady.com/index.htm - Red Sox Commiseration Spoken Here
The Man With The Golden Thong is returning to the birthplace of steroids in Major League baseball, where he began his sleazy career 14 years ago. After 7 years in New York, which banked him over $115 million but ZERO championships, Giambino will return to Oakland , and he won't be alone in his ...

If there's one guy I'd like to see come back in 2009 as a bencher, it's Mark Kotsay. Sure, it seemed that everything he hit in the playoffs found its way into someone's glove--I still recall how he came thisclose to driving in the winning run of the 2008 ALDS before Teixeixeif@#khim snared it, ...

I found Cashman's comments after yesterday's press conference for He Whose Name I'm Just Too Damn Tired of Writing to be wildly appropriate--and somewhat headwarmer-esque : Though many in the Yankees camp are thrilled to have bested the Red Sox in the Teixeira sweepstakes, Cashman said the ...

So one of my co-workers comes by my office the other day and, with a sly grin, says, "So... the Sox are looking at third place this year, huh?" First of all, I told him, when you see me at my desk, pouring whiskey into a tall glass, it means stay the f@#k out . Booze is the fuel that sparks my ...

Good music. Ample booze on tap. The chance to see Peter Gammons and Theo Epstein sling an axe and local music gods like Kay Hanley , Bill Janovitz and Stacy Jones get down to bi'ness. Also, a fantastic cause. And the possibility of a Bud-fueled Jonathan Papelbon tearing through some of your ...

In just under an hour, the BBC will be announcing the actor who will be playing the next incarnation of Doctor Who , succeeding the great David Tennant. For nerds such as myself, this is akin to white smoke pouring from the Vatican . Of course, I've already cast my vote of preference .

So far, 2009 has been a blur of Excedrin, Red Bull, bagels and a few glimmering bits of awesome as my memory slowly returns. But even in this subpar state, it seemed appropriate that the first video posting of the new year should be the final out of Jon Lester's 2008 no hitter, to remind us that ...

I hope everyone had a happy and safe New Year's Eve. As Red mentioned, we've got some pretty cool plans for 2009. Stick around for our 6 th year of blogging.

One of the coolest Christmas gifts I received this year--besides the Wii, Guitar Hero World Tour and pair of Heidi Watney's pants filched borrowed through some connections my cousin has with her laundry service--was the DVD set of every episode of Monty Python's Flying Circus . You seriously ...

... Hanley Ramirez, that is . The Red Sox made a play to re-acquire Marlins superstar Hanley Ramirez after losing out to the rival Yankees for star free agent Mark Teixeira, league sources tell SI.com. But while the Marlins listened to Boston's overtures, Florida isn't anxious to trade its ...

As you know, we usually spend our time around here talking about the Red Sox, bashing the Yankees, or just shooting the baseball shit in general. Occaisionally...OK...frequently, we mix in a Star Wars post, a Kiss tribute, a Jennifer Love-Hewitt picture, or some other random pop-culture ...

While I was expecting D-Lowe to come walking
through that door, the Sox up and signed Brad
Penny as a back-of-the-rotation fortifier. Yes, the same Brad Penny who spent most of 2008 on the disabled list, but also the dude who won 16 games in 2007. ...
Rookie of the Year, MVP...and salsa connoisseur? I thought Big Papi was the salsa spokesman for the team? I guess if Manny and Wake can pimp wine, anything is fair game. Is there a hidden joke that it's "medium?"

From the rubble of game seven of the
2003 ALCS, there rose a phoenix. And that phoenix
was... the potential signing of A-Rod. It was all we talked about that winter. Every twist, every turn, every time John Henry excused himself from his favorite ...
I love Christmas, but when it's over, it's over. There are a couple of radio stations in Boston that have been playing Christmas music since November 1st. For those of you keeping score at home, that's the day after Halloween. One night you're trick-or-treating, the next day you're decking the ...

The usual stuff: World peace. Health and happiness for my loved ones. For C.C. Sabathia and Mark Teixeira to be kidnapped by robot Nazis. And to find myself locked in the trunk of a '74 Buick with Freema Agyeman . The very best holiday wishes to our readers. Barring hangover or death by "The ...

If you were one of the ones that wanted to crack open the piggy bank and empty it into Mark Teixeira's lap, you probably didn't have a good day yesterday. It's like seeing that great parking spot at the mall on the Saturday before Christmas, blinker on, and some cock-knocker in a Lexus SVU ...

The happiest guy in the world right now
has gotta be A-Rod . Finally, there's someone who'll
be booed more mercilessly than him at Fenway Park.
Welcome Brad Penny and, Hopefully, Stalker-ish ...
