- America's Newest Citizen 11:44am Jul 3


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...


See that video up there? I'm not posting it because I like this horsecrap music. I'm posting it as an all points bulletin to you, esteemed members of SG Nation...


SurvivingGrady.com So how are YOU spending this off-day? Facing the buzzkill of no game after yesterday's thriller, I guess I'll just, I dunno... have to talk to people or somethin'.


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...

Has it really gotten so bad that we gawk at Amalie Benjamin? Are the times that dire?!
SurvivingGrady.com at 4:02pm July 1
The gawking gets me through the good times and the bad times, frankly.


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
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."


SurvivingGrady.com Apparently Tito replaced the actual Sox with an army of robot clones around the sixth inning last night. let's hope the real guys are back tonight.


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...


Snapshots of me come in three flavors: goofy, deranged and retarded. The last photo taken of me in which I looked somewhat human was my fifth grade school portrait. That's kinda why I dig me some Jonathan Papelbon...


As seen over the trash can at The Baseball Shop in glorious Orleans, Mass. A magical place where you can get your full baseball card nerd on while watching the Sox game in ass-kicking HD...


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...
SurvivingGrady.com at 4:46pm June 29
I do worry for Teets. The combination of bacon, Full Throttle and some Papelbon ninth-inning hi-jinks may finish the guy off before October.
Aaron at 5:33pm June 29
seriously, do you ever think teh bot is just screwing with him?


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...


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...


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...
SurvivingGrady.com at 5:25am June 27
Denton, always good to have you bring us down.


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...


Why, yes, I am a homer in the finest sense of the word. And I have no problem with begging everyone to do the right thing and vote Youk for the 2009 All Star Game...


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...


This one really had it all: a home run by Jay Pale, two triples from Ellsbury, a 3-for-6 showing from the Elf at the top of the line-up, and 5.2 innings of respectable pill tossing from Brad Penny...


Brad Penny came here under scrutiny as a guy who might not be able to deliver and he's been the subject of tradebait talk for weeks now...
Craig at 5:16am June 24
Gotta love Brad. http://www.4sportboston.co m


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...
Alan at 3:43am June 24
Michael at 7:59am June 24
I love Eck in the booth, not to take anything away from Remy, but I think he is great.
John at 9:42am June 24
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.


My dad took me to my first Sox game when I was eight years old. He bought me a hot dog, a Coke, and a Jim Rice pin. He showed me where he used to sit when he'd wander over after classes at Northeastern...


To paraphrase the tagline from those old Miller Lite commercials, that was everything you always wanted in a Red Sox game... and less.Josh Beckett going the distance and reminding us how he earned the title Commander Kick Ass of the F@#k yeah brigade...


SurvivingGrady.com As I see it, booing Derek Lowe at Fenway is just un-American. Unless he nailed your girlfriend or something.


Amy at 8:48am June 20
Amen! Of course I read that quick and went some place, um dirty. Jeebus. Too much time spent in America's heartland.
Jennifer at 2:49pm June 20
i got a lot of respect for d-lowe!


Yeah, I'm talking to you, weather. Screw your punk ass! This game is being played. You hear that? Throw us your best lightning and thunderclaps and black sheets of rain. Don't matter to me...


The Big Sox Machine keeps rolling, flattening all who dare cross its path. And just like Mongo in Blazing Saddles, when you shoot them, you only make them mad...


Another one bites the dust. The New York Times and ESPN have reported that Sammy Sosa was one of the 104 MLB players to test positive in 2003 for PED's. Sosa is only the second player to be named from the so-called "anonymous" results, A-Rod being the first...


Back in April, I called for 2009 to be the Season of the Lugo, which made me and Josh B from our comments and possibly Lugo's mother the only people on the planet convinced that our much-maligned shortstop was due for great things...


SurvivingGrady.com Red Sox win, Yankees lose. Man, that's the winning combination.


Just re-watching some of last night's game on the ol' DVR and noticing something I hadn't seen last night...
Nick at 9:06am June 13
My guess she had to many hot dogs and pretzels w/ her beer and at that very moment she was in the process of yaking her brains out. Just a thought.
Isaac at 10:40am June 13
She was like that all night long...
Isaac at 10:41am June 13
I like the kid who ran down and started waving at the camera in the fourth and then got chased out by the blue shirts


Props to Felger at the Baseball Show for pointing out this gem of a photo from today's New York Post. From the look on his face, I can only assume two things: surprise prostate exam or Yankees' walk-off victory.


SurvivingGrady.com Red will be on "The Baseball Show" with Felger & Merloni this morning during the WebSox Nation segment at 9:54am. Tune in to Comcast SportsNet and watch the ratings plummet.


I sincerely wanted Jon Lester to get the win tonight, after seeing him master the reigning world champs with 11 Ks and just 2 hits across seven innings. But after suffering through thirteen innings, I reached the point where I didn't give a damn if Creighton Gubanich got the win...

Is there anything, I mean anything, better than seeing Ortiz practically skip out of the dugout for a curtain call? First of all, to see a guy who is listed at 230 pounds (but is probably a coupla Twinkies shy of 260) skip is amazing...


If we win tonight, it's the spirit crusher. I'm talking the straw that breaks the Girardi's back. Sure, the Yanks will leave this series and go off and pound some third-rate teams into submission...
