Hughes Who?
The most impressive fact about Boston’s 8-5 victory over New York in the rubber game of their three game series at Fenway is that they won without Ortiz, Lowell, Papelbon, or Okajima.
Other thoughts:
Dice-K returned to his 2007 form of nibbling at the edges of the plate and hurting himself more than the opposing offense. [...]
Papelbon Vs. A-Rod
A two hour and eleven minute wait for three pitches. It was worth it. Thoughts:
While scoring enough runs to win, the Red Sox offense is still sputtering. I don’t care how crafty the ghost of Mike Mussina is; he has nothing left. A talented and veteran offense should do much more damage.
The only reason to [...]
Wang Dominates Red Sox
And with that wonderful headline thoughts on Boston’s 4-1 loss to New York:
You simply have to tip your hat to Wang. He’s been dominant in the regular season for several years now. Combine tough pitching with a sox lineup that certainly hasn’t hit its stride and the outcome isn’t surprising.
That said, Wang wasn’t blowing anyone [...]
Pedroia: No Excuses
No doubt about it. From top to bottom the Red Sox looked terrible while being swept 3 games by the Blue Jays. After 19 days on the road, much of it in Japan, a few days at home couldn’t come at a better time. Still, excuses are lame, and if left up to Dustin Pedroia [...]
I Won’t Have Snyder to Kick Around Any Longer
Kyle Snyder was recently designated for assignment to make room for Josh Beckett. Barring something unforeseen the move closes his career in Boston. I’ve taken several swipes at Snyder recently.
After the season opener I wrote:
I like Kyle Snyder. His comeback from arm trouble is a great story. That said the less I see of him [...]
Safari 3.0.4
Macworld recently reviewed Safari 3.0.4 and awarded it 4 and a half mice out of a possible 5:
Safari has all of the features that most Web surfers will ever need, it’s extremely fast, and it integrates seamlessly with other Mac applications.
Jon Gruber recently returned to Safari from Firefox. His comparison of the two browsers is [...]
Gene Watson at Farmers’ Opry
I took my mother to see Gene Watson at the Farmers’ Opry last night. I’m a fan of any musical genre done well. Country music is no exception, though I prefer traditional over the newer pop country (basically top-40 music with a slight twang). Watson, similar in style to George Jones or Merle Haggard, brought [...]
The 2008 Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox come into 2008 with almost the identical team that ended 2007 with a World Series victory. Though favored by many to return to the World Series, this year, like any other, has its share of questions:
Offense:
Was last year a blip in the career of Manny Ramirez or has he begun a [...]
Just Explain it to Them Joba
Both Jonathan Papelbon and Joba Chamberlain are young, talented, and very excitable relief pitchers. You will find one an annoying showboat and the other refreshingly intense, depending on your rooting interest. At least, that has always been my theory. Until now…
Sliced Bread, in a comment at Bronx Banter, opened up another possibility:
He’ll (Joba) probably be [...]
