After a controversial call in last night’s Red Sox 9-8 comeback win both Angel fans and players were almost universal in their whining.
Halos Heaven took sour grapes to a whole new level:
Umpires Hand Red Sox Victory
Any fan that can cheer that game is a chump.
On the bright side, the Red Sox are really not that [...]
From MLB.com’s recap of Boston’s pathetic loss at Seattle:
Nick Green’s two-out throw in the ninth inning could have been the third out to force overtime. Instead, the ball squirted out of the shortstop’s right hand and sailed over the head of first baseman Jeff Bailey. The batter, Ronny Cedeno, wound up at second base.
Note to [...]
For years Red Sox fans have had the embarrassing habit of chanting “Yankees Suck” even when playing other teams, and Yankee fans have smugly pointed and laughed.
From the Lohud Yankees Blog during a game against the Tampa Bay Rays:
The Bleacher Creatures are chanting “Boston sucks.” That makes sense. The Yankees are 0-5 against Boston [...]
Remember When We Expected the Worst?
Yes, it was an April series, but games in April count the same as they do in August. And while Yankee fans seem to be hanging their hats on A-Rod and Wang being MIA they seem to ignore that the Red Sox are currently playing with a struggling Beckett, a [...]

Featuring Joe Buck as Dumb
While discussing Johnny Damon Joe Buck claimed that while he looked to be declining when he left Boston for New York his statistics over his 4 years with [...]
A great story line in last night’s 4-1 Red Sox victory over the Angels is the young home grown talent that made the difference. All 3 Red Sox pitchers, Jon Lester, Justin Masterson, and Jonathan Papelbon, were drafted and groomed by the team, as well as the night’s offensive star, Jacoby Ellsbury (3 for [...]

The grand slam exploded like a gunshot Wednesday night, tearing out the guts of even the most naïve believers in the 2008 Yankees.
The eighth-inning bullet by Dustin Pedroia was like the opening scene of a documentary, many years from now, capturing the thud of finality to something once so special. The question [...]
Going into their 3 game series I heard talk of Boston burying New York, ending their playoff hopes. I wasn’t as confident. It’s not that I fear the Yankees. I’ve watched them play enough this year to know they’re a brutal team; even worse to watch. But there’s still a ton of talent on their [...]
