Pedroia Power (part 2)
Poetry from Tyler Kepner:
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 [...]
Pedroia Power
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 [...]
What Will Hank Blame Now?
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, [...]
Jim Palmer: “Ed Rapuano Embarrassing”
After watching the Red Sox win in 11 innings at Toronto I turned my attention to the Yankee - Orioles game. Down by a run but with a runner on first and Jay Payton at the plate New York brought in Rivera to get the third out.
Payton would eventually look at a third strike [...]
Joe Girardi: Hypocrite
After Joba Chamberlain threw at Kevin Youkilis’ head for the 4th time in the past 2 seasons Terry Francona commented:
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 [...]
Red Sox Avoid Sweep
The Red Sox managed to take game 3 against the Yankees to avoid a sweep. Baseball is a funny game. Your team loses one night and all you see are problems; a win the next day and everything seems brighter. So here’s 4 positive thoughts*:
The Yankees are on a role. The Red Sox have been [...]
Red Sox Offense AWOL
Yesterday’s 10-3 loss to the Yankees was more of the same for the Red Sox. A bullpen that threw fuel on the fire and a lineup that managed only 3 runs. The bullpen is less of a worry for me. One new arm, one old arm deciding to step up, and the problem vanishes. But [...]
Yankees on Deck, Big Papi is Back
The Yankees come to Boston for a 3 game series starting tonight. The Red Sox are tied for first with the Rays with the Yankees a few games back. Despite the hype, the series won’t make or break either club’s season, but it certainly makes for good drama.
We’re a little over half way done with [...]
Mike Mussina vs. Tim Wakefield
I’m still reading rants calling for Mike Mussina to start for the American League in the 2008 Major League All-Star game (previously). After all, Mussina is 10-5; halfway to a twenty win season.
Tim Wakefield is only 5-5 so far in 2008. The two pitchers make an interesting comparison, however, when you move beyond the misleading [...]
