... The always-entertaining (and massively prolific) team at Surviving Grady posted their AL East season preview this morning. Good stuff, as usual, from Red and Denton, but I mention it mostly because of the fantastic picture of Jonathan Papelbon and NESN's sideline babe Tina Cervasio. Papelbon, like any normal red-blooded American in his early 20s, is getting a serious eye workout examines the rear-facing curves of the comely Ms. Cervasio. His expression is, as they say, priceless. Add one more to the long and growing list of reasons to love young Paps.

... and bad blogs. The good ones are offering what the mainstream cannot do or will not do. I go to SonsofSamHorn.net for all Red Sox news, first and foremost. I've been a member since 2001 and there is no better place in the world for Sox news and opinion. And the writing quality at Redsox.com and the Globe is often quite good. Red Sox Monster: There are literally dozens of Red Sox-related blogs out there, something you don't see for every team, and certainly something you don't see in every sport (By way of comparison, there is still less than 12 well-known blogs on the New England Patriots). In your own estimation, what makes yours stand out? Joy of Sox: I think it's well-written and it's very clean looking -- no ads. I come from a reporter's background and I think you can see that in my posts. There are so many Sox blogs out there that I'm happy for any steady readers -- and my regular commenters. But there are also many different types of blogs. There are humorous ones like

Thanks to Whit for his brief post from yesterday - captured my sentiments precisely. A day's perspective, aided by a lot of quality beer, very little sleep, and a thorough Yankee ass-kicking is a much-needed thing. I was borderline psychotic after Friday's loss - one of the worst I can remember in this long rivalry. I won't belabor it, because the Sox righted the ship and stabilized the neuroses of millions of New Englanders yesterday, but Terry Francona completely managed his team out of the game on Friday night, brutally butchering the pitching staff and backing himself into a very unnecessary corner. I say this as a great admirer of Tito, the best Sox manager in my lifetime. Josh Beckett was long-ago labeled Commander Kickass of the Fuck Yeah Brigade by the proprietors of the stellar ...

American League Championship Series - Games 3 & 4 Indians 4, Red Sox 2 Indians 7, Red Sox 3 Indians lead, 3-1 I'm trying, really trying to work up some righteous indignation, or some fire and brimstone rallying cry for this segment of the fanbase (Red and Denton at the sublime Surviving Grady have done a nice job on the latter), but my irritation is measured in thimbles and my outrage more embers than a conflagration. And much like the aforementioned 2005 ALDS, it's the way the Sox have lost that's prompting this measured reaction. After Game 3 of the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees, my vim was vigorous as I sputtered out the following: I simply am not smart enough, or talented enough to put adequate words to my utter disappointment with these Red Sox. It would be one thing if they'd played the Yankees close and lost heartbreakers because of bad luck or quirky bounces. But they have simply not deserved to win any of the first 3 games of the se ...

Going into the ALCS, he had Red Sox Nation afraid they might have to reconsider the focus of their home town blog. But in the end, the guy just didn't get it done in the series, folding like origami when it really mattered. His one home run, two RBI and .222 batting average weren't quite enough to get the Indians to the World Series. Tribe Time is no more in 2007. But the ladies still love him... ...

... Youk's performance at first also helped out the rest of the infield. He certainly eased rookie Dustin Pedroia into the second-base slot, and also allowed Julio Lugo to reduce his errors at short. There is speculation on whether or not Youk will return to first, or move back to his natural position at third. Much, if not all, of the decision depends on Mike Lowell and the Red Sox coming to an agreement. At either corner, Youk will give 100%, and do it with that beard. ...

... or Surviving Grady? I’m a member of the MSM (I guess), and I can handle rejection (and your unwillingness to respond to e-mails and interview requests about your new book, which I enjoyed). But dammit, throw the Nation a bone. I mean, I can understand five Yankee blogs, since we need a full accounting of all their excuses these days. But two Padres blogs? Really? Is there that much happening in that hotbed of baseball known as San Diego? I don’t know if you realized this, but your 18 blogs have something interesting ...

BLS Big Ballpark Review: Boston's Fenway Park

... My favorite places to scope for these treasured spots are Evans Way (behind the Isabella Gardner Museum; roughly a 12 minute walk to the park) and the Newbury Street extension that runs between Charlesgate West and Brookline Ave. (five minutes from the Fenway gates). As most meters in Boston run til 6:00pm, it's absolutely free parking, freeing up more cash for things like beer, Mike Timlin bobbleheads and beer.

Karma gonna getcha
Published 7/14/2008 by Cormac (noreply@blogger.com) at BOSTON IRISH
I love the concept of sporting Karma I also love the Sox blog 'Surviving Grady' To my unkempt joy the two recently came together in the blogs analysis of the Tampa sweep over the Red Sox. They pointed out, beautifully, that perhaps it wasn't absolute genius on the Rays part to mock the reigning MLB Champions after a mid season sweep by playing 'Sweet Caroline' on the PA after the final out was made. 'Surving Grady' wrote at the time; That's a play right out of Smug Upstart Wannabes 101--the mark of ...

Can we stop the babying of pitchers?
Published 8/26/2008 by Sully (info@sullybaseball.com) at SULLY BASEBALL
... had better be sure talented pitchers are throwing the 7 and 8th innings... because if they blow the lead, you only have 2 or 3 chances to get it back. Granted that point became moot when Wang got injured and Joba HAD to start. But still, all the babying in the world for a big guy like Joba... and he's hurt when the Yankees need him And the tyranny of the pitch count makes no sense. Sure a pitch count works when you have a guy who tends to wear down (something that Grady Little had a hard time grasping.) But not every pitcher is built the same and not ...

ProJo's Kevin McNamara has a little bit about the pressure situation Justin Masterson faced last night in the 8th inning. Joy of Sox writes the play of the game had to be Kevin Youkilis gunning down Vladimir Guerrero at third base. Surviving Grady states the obvious: everyone loves Jon Lester.

OK, another show of hands
Published 41 hours ago by Sully (info@sullybaseball.com) at SULLY BASEBALL
When Dice-K went out to pitch the 8th inning, how many of you thought "Um... where's Masterson?" When he let up two hits to start of the 8th inning, how many of you had a Grady Little flashback? I expect to see a lot of hands up. Now how can I get them down? Oh, I know... When Dice-K walked three batters in the first inning, how many of you thought "I bet he's going to have no hit stuff and be still pitching in the 8th inning"? Anyone with their hand up now is a f---ing liar!

... night: Carl Crawford broke up the no-no to lead off the inning and Cliff Floyd lined a single into left that put Crawford at third and the go-ahead run at the plate with no outs... But did Dice-K crumble under the pressure? Nope. He simply willed Navarro to pop out to left, then made Gross look... well, gross... on a strikeout and then left Crawford at third with a puzzled look on his face when Bartlett grounded out to end the inning. Poof! Rally over. Sorry Tampa... not this time. [image] This was Dice-K's night, but you can't win without a little offense, right? Enter Kevin ...
