And another walk off...

Are you kidding me? If you would have told me that Sox would score 3 runs in last 2 games and would win BOTH, I would think you were crazy. Especially with Lester and Dick-K going...both need solid run support. But, it happened and it happened again in exciting fashion. This time of the bat of the Captain. It is great to see Varitek come through in the clutch for the send time this season. Earlier this year he hit a 9th inning pinch homerun to give the Sox the lead in Cleveland. Then tonight with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th, Tek ripped a single up the middle and with the beautiful hook slide by Manny, the Sox picked up another big win. Congrats Captain.

Dear Bob Costas,

When I was younger I had a desire to be a world famous sports broadcaster. I watched all of your broadcasts and did everything that I could to study you and what you do. When I received my Eagle Award, I was presented with a picture signed by YOU, congratulating me on this great day. It was a highlight of that day. So, thank you for that.
BUT, after last night, I am done with you. Last night on your HBO show, Costas Now, you had a round table discussion about blogs. The members of this discussion were Buzz Bissinger, author of Friday Night Lights and an award winning writer, Will Leitch, founder of deadspin.com and Braylon Edwards, WR for the Browns. In the past you have, like many other members of the media, have been highly critical of blogs. So, tonight you invited a moron, Buzz LightYear, to verbally attack Leitch and all other bloggers. Not only did you not stop him, but you helped him and even planned in this occurring. Buzz LightYear, who spent most of the time yelling about how disgusting and profane blogs are, was the most disgusting and profane person at the "discussion". And you did not say a word. Bob, you are not better that Bill O'Rielly, who often attacks Jon Stewart for reporting the "fake" news.
This is for all sports media, especially you Bob and Buzz LightYear, get over yourselves.

Sincerely,

Sam

That's the Lester we want to see...

I am positive that we will not see Lester go 8 innings and only allow 1 hit very often, but he does posses the talent to be a great pitcher. It was great to see him have such a great game tonight and to end the miserable losing streak. Now lets get the bats going!

My Red Sox frustration is quite high right now....

So, watch this instead of reading another one of angry rants...



That pitch was thrown 96 MPH! Wow, that is the very definition of pain.

What do you think?

This weekend 5 people told Amy that she looked like Brooke White from American Idol. Amy and I have not really watched the show, so we had to look her up. What do you all think? Does she look like "that Mormon girl from American Idol"?

Big Papi!!!

When Big Papi came up with 2 outs and the bases loaded for the Red Sox, I was just hoping to see him come up big so he could snap out of it. You see, Papi is one of the most loved athletes in Boston Sports history. He is always smiling and he always puts on a show. Seeing him struggle has been painful for every Red Sox fan. You knew he would break out of it, but when? And you knew you could not be angry with him or ever even think of Booing him. He means too much to the 2 World Series titles in the last 4 year. So, when the ball cleared the Green Monster last night and Papi finally got to circle the bases last night, it was a sight for sore eyes. Good to see you back Papi!

The other fantastic thing about last night was the fact that 4 of the starters for the Sox last night were drafted by Boston. Youk at 3rd, Lowrie at SS, Peds at 2B and Ellsbury in CF. And they all contributed. The picture up top shows three of them, (Ellsbury, Lowrie and Peds) when they scored on the Papi Slam. Fantastic!

So much for being positive...

But I absolutely cannot stand the type of game the Sox and the Yankees are playing right now. It is messy, long and not even worth it to stay up and watch.
And on top of that... what the Tavarez???? How long until you are going to take him out?
Actually, I think all things considered, I am relatively positive right now. WOOHOO!

Baseball!

I am sure that people are wondering why I have not blogged a lot about the baseball season so far. There have been times when I have wanted to rant about the Red Sox already, but I have held myself back. Why? Because they just won their second World Series in Four years! How angry am I supposed to be? Does that mean that I no longer get angry and yell at the TV? Nope, I still get pretty worked up. But I am going to try and blog more about the good things this year...although I am a much better angry writer than a happy one.
So, with the new blogging me...HOW ABOUT THE LAST 2 GAMES!! Those poor Indians can't catch a break against my Sox. Two nights in a row the Red Sox has dramatic 9th inning Homeruns. One by MANNY, MANNY, MANNY!!! And the other by the Captain, Jason Varitek. The last few games have been fantastic. I am not sure how good this team will be, but they are putting a great show right now.

A Beautiful Day for Baseball...

This is how EVERY season should start....

YOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUK!!!!

On of my favorite players in all of baseball set a fantastic record today. Kevin Youkilis, the very definition of a Dirt Dog, has now gone 194 straight games without an Error at first base. This breaks Steve Garvey's Major League record. Congrats YOUK! You deserve it!

Why everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, loves A-Rod

This article is amazing. It is a good thing that Yankees were able to make such a "sweet heart deal" with AROD. As Bill Walton would say, "UnbeLIEVable!!!
