| I had gone to get sneakers. I was working at Wal-Mart and my days off were Tuesday and Wednesday every week. So on Tues Sept. 11th my old lady at the time and I jumped on my bike and rode out to New York city so I can get some sneakers and her something shiny. We had done it so many times before that our only worry was getting everything home on my bike. No one likes to park in Manhattan so...

| I wasn't happy when JD drew replaced good old Trot Nixon. He sucked last year until it really counted and then this year he has been phenomonal now I am loving JD. I know what some may say "typical Sox fan". And I'd say they are right. I expect a lot out of those men who wear a Sox jersey. I don't take this lightly. So anyway the...

| Nothing would make me happier than watching my boys beat on the enemy one last time at home...how sweet would it be if we swept these bums at home for the last time? I mean...I'm sure we'll do it plenty in their new stadium but this is Yankee stadium. As much as I dislike them I still repect them. 26 is a big number for anything, and they've have had some of the greats play in that park. I'm saddened that I never...

| I previously mentioned how I don't get to see many games because of my work schedule.....but the Tuesday night came and I couldn't have been a happier man. If I would've been at work and missed this game I probably would've shorted out like Ben Wrightman. I couldn't believe Papi hit 2-3 run homers in the first inning! And then to see them squander it and lose the lead only to have YOUK hit the game winning...

| I haven't been able to watch a game in over a week. This is no one's fault, not even my own. I've just been working like a dog trying to pay the creditors their due. I have been getting the updates on my phone. I am now a text junkie. I get all the MLB alerts and that somehow carries me through. I have yet to actually see Jason Bay in action but I have seen the recaps and the highlights but is it the same? While having a...

| I remember when Manny came to Boston. I had no idea who he was and I had my doubts. Then he hit the first pitch to him straight out of the park, and I was a fan. I soon read all I could on him and looked forward to games he was playing. I wasn't a fan of the dreads but hey, the man was good and that forgives a lot. I was known for saying "Manny being Manny" and for unashamedly defending...

convictedfan wrote this 4 months ago on |
| I've said this many times but I'll say it again. I LOVE THIS TEAM. I either listen or watch or get updates on every game, I haven't missed one in years. When I can't watch a game I'll catch "Breakfast with the Sox" the next morning then read all I can. This team has carried me through some rough times and for that I will always be a loyal, die hard fan. But last night disgusted me.

| When I was younger I had this girlfriend that at the time seemed to be just perfect. Everything went like buttered toast and she even sat through games and learned most of the players' names! She bought me Sox gear and everything seemed peachy F***ing keen. But then the end came crashing down. Towards the end we had some good times but we both felt it just wasn't what it used to be. Neither one of us wanted to cut the...

| As anyone knows who has read anything I have ever written, I'm not a fan of Lugo. I don't like to see anyone injured but this has been a blessing. Lugo hasn't been at the top of his game in a long while. Last year during the playoffs when he came to bat we pretty much had no hope, and this year hasn't been much different. There has been a lot of talk of getting rid of him and many fans have even posted...

| A couple days ago when I was fiending for a game I wasn't interested in watching my boys get swept by a podunk team in a mediocre league. Nor was I looking forward to hearing those two idiots constantly rant about our on-the-road record or to hear them state the obvious time and again. How many times does one man have to expound on a pitch that was just nationally broad casted ? How many times do we have to...

The other day the old lady was flipping through and said "look honey, a game"...it was on YES. I thought I deleted that channel......I told her we don't watch games on the YES network just like the Yankee "fans" won't watch a game on our...

| So Last year when JD Drew was in his slump and batting like his name was Lugo I was among many who called him Nancy Drew. Am i proud? Kind of..isn't that what we do to those who don't seem to earn the money that our team has given them? And to clarify something else, if you've ever been to a game, bought a cap or a t-shirt this is your team. We say "we" when...

It was about 6am when I got up to tune in to Joe Costiglione and listen to what I had waited for since the previous October. I had been fiedndng for something to do with the Sox. All winter the Pats fans had been calling in to WEEI with their "what if's" so the station hadn't talked much about the Sox....

So in walks this guy with a briefcase and dirty shoes. He walks into the living room and says "Hi, I'm Neil from Primerica...oh look...who's winning?" I'm trying to watch a game and here is this tool who can't even find the score to the game on the screen! So he...

Pitcher's hitting inability..

convictedfan wrote this 4 months ago on |
| Ok, so I asked this question yesterday in a reply but I'm asking here it anyway. Why can't pitchers hit? Aren't they ball players? Didn't they play little league like the rest of us? On my little league team the pitcher had to hit, if not we beat him up! So why can't pitchers hit? Dice-K did an alright job a while back, got himself on base. Albeit while wearing his warm-up jacket... But just recently Bartolo Colon (BC) threw...

| So last night the old lady was ragging me about watching the game all the way to the end, again. I get this from everyone who isn't a fan. Why watch a game all the way to the end when the score is so lopsided? Well when it's the Sox beating the pi** outta someone I love to see that, but when they're getting beating I still have hope that they'll come back... Remember in September '04 when the Sox were losing 7-0 and then...

So how about that? Everyone keeps asking what's going on with Manny and is he filling in for Ortiz and are his options and general Manny being Manny worth it all...any questions now? And did you see how happy he was when he hit that homer in the top of the 8th? How great was that to see him smack one out the park and laugh all the way home, and the chest bump with tiny little Pedroia was just awesome. You gotta love this team,...
