Red Sox Win!!!

Twice in my life time, who would have thunk?!  Definitely not me, but I’m totally enjoying it.
Very happy to see Mike Lowell as MVP, though I think the whole team could have been considered.
What a great end to a fantastic season.

Red Sox – Yankees August 30th

After this past weekend I was ecstatic about the Red Sox and seeing how the bats came alive against the White Sox.  On Monday I was asking people, “Are the Sox bats that good or are their pitchers that bad?”
Having watched (and currently listening to the game) I have to believe that the White Sox pitching [...]

Hard to keep up

I know it’s been awhile again.  It’s hard to keep with all the issues going on at work and how it’s running over into family life. 
8/24 – 8/26 Red Sox trounced White Sox – Yeah!!!!  8 games up on Yanks
8/28 -8/29 Red Sox lose 2 to the Yankees – Boo!!!! 6 games up – can’t [...]

Here we go

OK, it’s August 23rd.  The Sox are 5 games up on the Yankees.
Here we go Red Sox.  Here we go.
Here we go Red Sox.  Here we go.
By the way – what the hell happened to Baltimore yesterday!!!!  WOW.  It was nice to see Kason Gabbard get the win, but seriously how bad do you have [...]

Camden Yards

Well on our last vacation we and several thousand other members of Red Sox nation went to Camden Yards to watch the Red Sox take on the Baltimore Orioles.  Great game, too bad we lost 2 of 3 (damn Gagne).  Anyways, for those who haven’t been Camden Yards is a beautiful ballpark.  Great views and [...]

It’s been awhile

Sorry for the delay in posting.  Work has been challenging lately.  We were told we were acquiring a company but it turns out that both companies have actually been acquired by a new holding company so everything is uncertain.
 What gets me is the game of kiss-ass that a lot of people are now playing.  Perhaps [...]

Carl Ripken Jr

Carl Ripken Jr. was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this weekend.  MLB.com did a nice summary of his speech.

Every baseball player today should be forced to watch or read his speech.  For that matter any pro or amateur athlete should too.

Frustrated Nation Member

Finally I think you are seeing the Nation tiring of JD Drew and Wily Mo Pena.  At least Lugo decided to hit, it’s like he knew it was time hopefully he keeps it up.  At this point I think I’d rather see Hinske playing outfield than Pena.  With a 10 game lead over the Yanks [...]

Back again

Went away for a little vacation again.  Nice and relaxing.
Anyways.  Who really thought that the Red Sox would be 12 games up on the Yankees on July 6th?  Any one?  This is turning out to be a great summer.  Now if we can only hold off the yearly post All-Star slide we should be all [...]

While I was out…

Damn.  Lots to mention while I was away on vacation.  Where to start?
Chris Benoit.  I used to follow the WWE, then I found UFC.  Every now and then I check out Vince and crew to see what’s going on.  Most of the story lines are beyond horrible but occassionally the wrestling is entertaining.  I know [...]
