Johnny Damon Loves Excuses
After a recent loss to the Cleveland Indians Johnny Damon gave this quote:
“We’re OK. Nothing has got in our way. With the number of injuries we’ve had and the bounces not going our way, we still have our heads up. When all is said and done, we’re going to get back to normal.”
I’ll skip the [...]
How to Win When Your Middle Relief Sucks
Don’t let them pitch. Jon Lester threw 8 innings of 1 hit ball last night and the Sox offense scratched out a run in the bottom of the ninth to beat Halladay and the Blue Jays.
Over the last 3 games Red Sox starters have pitched 23 of a possible 25 innings (Papelbon and Delcarmen have [...]
Boston Swept by Tampa
A little alarming, huh?
Game one went 11 innings and ended with 42 year old Timlin giving up the winning run while a well rested Papelbon warmed up in the bullpen.
Game two was lost when Francona allowed Buchholz to throw his 110th pitch of the game which was knocked for a 2 run homer. Papelbon [...]
Big Numbers Confuse Bill Madden
WasWatching.com: Yanks Don’t Understand Watson’s Take On Farnsworth
Maybe they should send Bob Watson a clip from Bill Madden’s column today? This part:
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, since 2002 Yankee batters have been hit 69 times by Red Sox pitchers as opposed to 48 Red Sox hit by Yankee hurlers. But the figures are even [...]
Joba Chamberlain Gets First Career Loss
Joba Chamberlain gets first career loss:
Joba Chamberlain’s career had been as close to perfect as possible over his first 26 games, but the hard-throwing phenom suffered his first big-league loss Thursday night, giving up the winning run in the ninth inning in the White Sox’s 7-6 victory.”
In the 8th inning Chamberlain looked unhittable. In the [...]
Still Waiting for Kevin Cash to Swing at Strike Three
After watching Kevin Cash strike out three times in game one of Boston’s three game series with the Angels, twice watching as the third strike floated over the middle of the plate, I’ve decided to complain a little less about Varitek.
While the Red Sox should have won two of three from the Angels, it’s hard [...]
Joe Posnanski: Way more than you wanted on retired numbers
Way more than you wanted on retired numbers:
Whew. I’m not going to lie to you; when I mocked the notion of the Yankees retiring Paul O’Neill’s number, I was not fully aware of just what kind of jersey-retiring fetish they have going there in the Bronx. I mean, hey, I was a huge Ron Guidry [...]
The World’s Scariest Runways
The World’s Scariest Runways | Travel + Leisure:
There’s a sobering saying among pilots: ‘Any landing you can walk away from is a good landing.’ And it’s not until you fly into places like Paro, or Toncontìn Airport in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, that the adage starts to make sense. Both are surrounded by mountains, and Toncontìn has [...]
Joe Posnanski: I’m sorry? This is a joke, right?
Joe Posnanski
I’m just in awe. I am. And then I read that Jeter and others may be trying to get Paul O’Neill’s number RETIRED? Has the world gone mad?Is there some sort of flu going around the Bronx? Will they retire Bernie Williams number since he was a better player? How about Tino’s number? You [...]
