Last night, Tim Wakefield and the Red Sox were robbed of a victory by one of their own fans. Leading 2-1 in the fourth, Langerhans hit what should have been the second out of the inning...

Another great start from the Red Sox rotation, another loss. This time Takashi Saito wears the goat horns. Despite helpful members in the Red Sox dugout encouraging Saito with "Throw it over the white thing!" he was unable to find the plate...

Navigating the mean streets of Cape Cod this weekend, so updates may be at a premium as I test this whole "remote blogging" business (and Denton no doubt remains on the run from his parole officer.)But sometime around 7:00, I will be getting my ass in front of a TV to see Our Man Wakefield go for...

Does this mean we can cross Toronto off the list of free agent suitors for Jason Bay? Looking more and more like the guy that checks your tire pressure at the local gas station in his Sunday duds, Jason Bay was sworn in as an official American citizen yesterday...

Apparently, sometime after the rain delay of last night's game, Tito decided to give the lads a rest and replaced the entire team -- particularly the bullpen -- with robot doppelgangers...

I'll make this brief: After a crushing, sledgehammer-to-the-onions loss like last night's, there's no one -- no one -- I'd rather see on the mound today to make the pain go away than Commander Kick Ass himself.Have at them, Sir Josh. Make it so.

Today's performance will be epic. We are not just looking for a stopper, we are looking for a mind eraser. Something very special coming today, mark my words.

Jill (cont.) He then says, "So, you live around here?" I tell him I'm just back visiting friends in O.C. and he says, "Well, stop by if you're around. I'm working in the seafood section now." The dude works at the grocery store. Granted, it's a very, very expensive grocery store (as to be expected in frikkin Newport Beach), but still. I felt a little sad. So I had to share that with you. I googled him and he played for lik 15 years in the major leagues. And now he is working behind the seafood counter. Maybe Manny should give this dude some of his money - he was a lot more amiable than Mr. Manny "I'm a 'tard" Ramirez, that's for sure...So that's all for now boys. Back in the craptastic Northeast, cursing this ridiculous weather. Toodles.

HOLY JEEBUS. A Dennis Lamp sighting? Was it the real mccoy, I wonder, or just some creep trying to make time with you? Either way, this inspires a whole batch of "where are they now?" segments...
Jill

Jill Hey boys, so I'm in a fancypants grocery store in Newport Beach, CA on sunday when a guy comes up to me and says, "So, you a Sox fan?" (I had a bag with the big B on it from when I'd been hiking) and I say, "Yeah, I am." He asks, "You actually from Boston?" and I respond, "Psh, of course. I ain't no bandwagon fan. I grew up just outside Boston." He asks where I grew up, I tell him, and he says, "Cool, I used to live in Cohasset. Actually, I was a pitcher for the Sox." Cut to me, totally thinking he's messing with me, "Oh yeah, when did you play?" "88-91."
Now, I was in 5th grade in 1988 and could have given a shit about the Sox at that point, given that Michael Jackson and Barbie dolls took up most of my time. I admit, it was not until high school that I started to pay attention. So I ask him, "Oh, cool, what's your name?" His reponse, "Dennis Lamp." I have no idea who he is, but I don't want to make him feel bad so I say, "Huh. Yeah, your name sounds familiar."

Sadly - no one can blow a lead like our Red Sox...

Let me say this first: I'm a huge Papelbon fan and I'm thrilled he will be the most prolific closer the Sox have had. But...Last night's save seemed a bit contrived. The Sox had the game firmly in the "W" column with two outs in the ninth...

Going to the Yankees is like pledging allegiance to the Nazis, the Cylons and the Sinister Six. Once you go there, I can't let you back in the good graces, no matter how many roast beef sandwiches or Leighton Meester photos you send me...

Interleague play is like a Jason Mraz concert your girlfriend drags you to; as soon as it starts, you eagerly await its ending. And now that it's finally over for the balance of the regular season, we can turn our attention to other matters. Like, for instance, the teams in our own bloody division...

As if there was any doubt in my mind that Terry Francona is the Greatest Red Sox Manager Ever, this quote from today's Globe cements it: Francona, on his pregame meal: “This morning I’m working on four pieces of bacon and a Full Throttle...

First of all, to respond to the previous post, I can assume, Denton, that you only watched the first inning? Because the Smoltz I saw from innings two through five had a remarkably low suck factor.Of course, he's no Commander Kick Ass...
SurvivingGrady.com
I have to admit: The giddy feeling I used to get before every Pedro Martinez start? I get that now whenever Timmy Wakefield takes the hill. Yes, I know there's nothing more infuriating than those games in which the knuckler won't knuckle, and ol'Timmeh's pissed away 12 runs by the second inning...

Tim Wakefield became just the third 10-game winner in the American League yesterday, shutting out the Braves for six innings in sweltering Atlanta. It was 95 degrees at first pitch but that didn't stop the knuckler from knuckling...

As the great '80s band Go West sang, "first night stage fright always hypnotizes." While it's not nearly as deep or profound as LMFAO's "I've gotta plan, what's your cell, we playing naked Twister back in my hotel," I feel it neatly encapsulates John Smoltz' first outing for the Boston Red Sox...
SurvivingGrady.com
I'm glad that's over. The Smoltz hype around here was like having our own little Brett Favre drama. He pitched, he sucked, let's move on.Tonight is Beckett time. Last trip to the mound he tossed a complete-game, five-hitter against the Braves. And, oh look, he's facing the Braves again...

Yeah, you're damn right I'm quoting Celine Dion*. And I just don't care. Suddenly, Papi is Papi again, swatting home runs, pulling up his team by the bootstraps and stomping like Godzilla, and I couldn't be happier...

In the summer of 1986, the Sox signed Tom Seaver. The guy didn’t have much in the tank at that stage, and we already had young Roger Clemens mowing down batters like his name was John Deere, but it was Tom F@#king Seaver—a living legend, Mr. Mets himself—on the Boston Red Sox...

Red Sox Nation has suffered injuries and substitute players every season. Sometimes, the fill-in player rises to the occasion and out-performs the person he is in for. Not the case in the broadcast booth...

I like Eck, wish he would do road games... He's no Remy, but despite some of his "cheesy" faults, he does have a bit of charisma. While he's not a polished broadcaster he's got a great rapport with Don, and hopefully he'll start losing some of the egocentric comments as he grows as into his "temp" job.
