I thought this was pretty cool, the fans coming off the T on Kenmore Square on their way to Fenway Park for opening day.  Little did I know as I was shooting this video, would a man in the background play "Take me out to the ballgame" on the clarinet.    It was the perfect setting, for a perfect day.   I hope you enjoy it the way that I did.

Tavarez in the rotation is a bad idea
Hype Story Up Hype Story Down
SoxisSickies wrote this 7 months ago on
Putting Julian Tavarez in the 5th spot in the starting rotation makes me nervous.  Almost terrified.  He is at best, decent,  against a lineup one time around.  What kind of purpose is he going to serve our team facing a lineup 2-3 times a game as a starter?  I would much rather see one of the young kid's in that role.  Leave Tavarez in the long relief role, as that truly is his only consistent area of contribution.  Give me a rotation of Becks, Dice,...

Outside of Fenway Park, in Kenmore Square, Boston is home to the CITGO sign. While many are familiar with most of the details...

I know everyone isn't going to like this blog one bit.  However, I have been thinking long and hard since the start of this whole Johan Santana talk has begun.  Jacoby Ellsbury is a fine young player, and could be a mainstay in centerfield at Fenway for years to come.  He posseses 4 of the 5 tools needed (i doubt he'll ever be able to hit for power), has the good looks and the charisma that would be a huge hit with the Fenway faitful (especially the female...

When looking at a pitcher's success there are many factors that come into play.  Pure stuff, command, poise come to mind.  However, the most important factor in a pitcher making a name for himself is how he performs when the lights are on.  When the stage is the largest and everyone is watching, this is when a pitcher truly builds his reputation. For Daisuke Matsuzaka this has been his bread and butter.  More then his mid 90's fastball and the myth of his...

mlb.com - On Sept. 22, the Red Sox secured a spot in the postseason for the 18th time in franchise history. Only the Yankees (45) and A's (23), among American League teams, have appeared more times in the playoffs. Not until Sept. 28, however, did the Red Sox break out the champagne, after clinching their first AL East title since 1995. Boston has finished the regular season in first place 14 times, eight before the dawn of the divisional era (1903, '04, '12, '15, '16,...

WOW, I happened to look up the pitching matchups for the upcoming series between the Sox and Yanks and that is the only word I could come up with. Friday night it's Andy Pettite vs Daisuke Matsuzaka. Pettite has been phenomenal the 2nd half of the season as he's really rounding into his usual late/post season form that us Sox fans have come to hate. Meanwhile, Dice-K has needed an L screen in front of the mound his past few starts. Getting ripped around the park would be an...

SoxisSickies wrote this 1 year ago on
first and foremost, you can see the difference in our lineup sans Manny Ramirez. They just don't have the same fear factor that they pose when he is in the lineup. Not only do you lose his production, but you also lose alot of pitches to Ortiz. Not many pitchers are going to give Ortiz anything to hit at all without Manny hitting behind him. So, because of of that we need a great outing from Schilling today. It's about time that he goes back to the Schilling we can count on, and if his...

Two pitchers, two teams, one state, one pitch. Josh Beckett grew up in a rural town in the dry heat of Texas idolizing Roger Clemens. Watching the Rocket blow fastballs by his counterparts was something he found fun and that was what he wanted to do. For the first time in his young but illustrious career, Beckett will get the chance to toe the same rubber in the same game as his boyhood idol Clemens. This is the marquee matchup of this week's series with the Yanks. There isn't...
