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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

My family went to a Red Sox, A’s game in 2006 at Fenway. It was unbelievably hot and the ushers were passing out free sunscreen. We were sitting in the center field bleachers. There was no [...]
Josh Beckett was suppose to start last night against the Yankees. Instead the Red Sox sent 42 year old Tim Wakefield, just coming off the disabled list, to the rubber. The Red Sox played the game without their starting shortstop, third baseman, right fielder, and catcher. Sean Casey, normally the first player off the bench, [...]

He has great command until Youk gets in there.
Joe Girardi understood why Youkilis was upset but claimed no intent and that it was unfortunate that the umpire warned both teams. Girardi contributed the fact that it [...]
