It's hard to express oneself at certain times.  •  Except for brief moments it was, as portland said on the phone, like watching the Sox play a triple-A team. Bad Colorado managing lead to bringing in the infield unnecessarily, a lack of any innovative response like a bunt or two and a general …

Time to reflect on a great season and enjoy the fruits of your hard work. No, not the Red Sox...I'm talking about A-Rod. But not every one agrees:  •  “"It’s a shame," Hank Steinbrenner, who is now running the Yankees, said late Sunday night. "But we are all in agreement: myself, my dad, my …

Is dull so bad? I mean, the Rockies did get within one at a certain point in the game. And, if it is your team, can winning a championship really be dull? After all, I took a vacation day tomorrow on the hope of a sweep and the need to stay up with my TV pals, have a beer on a Sunday night, that …

We stayed up for the whole game. What the hell is the dea with the 8:25 pm starts? The game ended at 12:45 am. It's a work day for flibbertyjibberty's sake - though there is some question whether Friday is still a work day. After game one, I heard Joe Morgan on ESPN radio say that he didn't care …

...ho-hum...  •  Is it too early to think this feels like 2004? Not that the Sox wins in the end but they make it a little boring. In May I asked if this was the team of destiny. I was right. [Ed.: "...again..." you sigh.] And even purplists Colorado was doing it's bit by beating a bunch of …

Not that things are bad but if it weren't for the Red Sox I wouldn't have met the nice people from Albany attending a wedding at our hotel's bar on Saturday night. I wouldn't have been able to watch them checking the scores inning by inning as they dashed in, a little less stable from their free …

Being woken in the night by a kid, I found myself scanning the radio at 5:30 am to find out what happened in the baseball game and, being displeased woke up further and decided to see how the propagation was and caught Weekend Mornings on 1070 AM Moncton, NB. Better still, I got to hear Jonna …

I seem to recall brother Iain invented big ball when he was editor of his university newspaper. He didn't play it - no one did. Just invented the stats and kept the standings in the corner of the sports section. I could have done with big ball to get me through to the big game tonight, Boston …

A late night at work saw me driving for home at around eleven with 660 AM WFAN and the callers bringing out the Long knives for the Yankees. Who was to blame? Torre? A-Rod? Wang? Even Posada was a target. Apparently one person is not likely waiting around to find out:  •  “A clubhouse attendant …
