Rocky Mountain High

Finally, they won one in Aria’s lifetime.
Last night, Red Sox Nation enjoyed a collective burst of deja vu as history looped back upon itself and replayed the ending to that euphoric 2004 World Series conclusion; with the 2007 Boston Red Sox matching that fabled team’s complete domination of a vaunted National League squad to grab [...]

Red Storm Rising

Boston Sucks!!! Boston Sucks!!!
Boston. We have arrived.
Just three short years after Theo Epstein began his reclamation project to tear down our beloved Idiots and build a better Bronx Bombers in Beantown, Theo has succeeded in infecting us with the madness of King George.

The Hunt for Red October

Well, that makes two consecutive Boston sports-themed posts where I’ve cribbed from Clancy for the title. Fear not, Bear and Dragon fans. I can’t stand the Bruins.

A day earlier and we wouldn’t be having this conversation, as Buchholz was called up due to the league’s September 1st roster expansion.

Failure to Launch

 
Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Thus, the struggling New York Yankees saw fit to shoehorn an impromptu press release into their Sunday afternoon drubbing of the Seattle Mariners  - announcing the signing of Roger Clemens to the squad.

Gathering Moss

By now, everyone has heard the INCREDIBLY SHOCKING NEWS that the Patriots scored NFL bad boy, Randy Moss, for a 4th Round draft pick this past weekend. ESPN’s Sports Guy, Bill Simmons, has a great piece that touches on the weekend’s festivities and spotlights the five possible explanations for Belichick’s gambit. It’s a great read and [...]

Red Light Redistrict

If you ask me, Boston is officially a two sport town. Baseball and Football. Sox and Pats. They’re the only things that matter.
