Some Good Baseball Reading from ESPN The Magazine
Just read two interesting baseball articles from the latest ESPN the Magazine (1/9/2012 issue; Cam Newton cover), neither of which are about the Dodgers outright, but involve Dodgers players (past and present), and even ownership if you squint your eyes.
The first was a great piece by Peter Keating ("Hall of Justice") in which Keating introduces an upgraded measurement...

Red Sox 5, Oreos 6, Red Sox 18, Oreos 9: Should’ve Won Both…
Caution: Ramping up to be a full-fledged rant in Progress…
I know I shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth, but winning both would have helped open the gap a little bit more than it is now, especially with Tampa Bay being off yesterday.
I guess I should be grateful they won at least one–with the pitiful and uninspired play since the clock struck September (5...

(Caption) Red Sox Fan’s ‘Five Dollar Footlong’ Gesture Ruined By Diving Player
Sure, her form is a bit suspect, but given she was nearly plowed over by Conor Jackson during her impromptu ode to Subway restaurants, I am left quite impressed. That’s dedication, kids. Perhaps the Boston Red Sox could learn a thing or two from this gal. And yes, I am well aware that this entire [...]

Sox Manage One Against Orioles
Was yesterday afternoon’s doubleheader opener the low point for the Red Sox? We can only hope.
The Orioles took the first game 6-5, and the Red Sox hung on through another awful John Lackey start to win the nightcap 18-9. The second game was highlighted by a Jacoby Ellsbury inside-the-park home run, and a grand slam from Conor Jackson, both in the same inning. (Is it just...

Sox WIN BIG in Game 2!
The Sox won the 2nd game of the doubleheader and they won it BIG! It was just the kind of game they needed and let's hope they build on this game and just WIN, WIN, WIN!
The Sox went down early and it looked like this game was heading from bad to worse in the 1st inning. Lackey gave up 3 runs before the Sox bats even got a chance. However, the Sox bats gave him the lead right...

I Was Appreciated!
Left Providence at 4:00 after game 1 ended. Got to Boston a little after 5:00 using my "anti-93" route, and parked at a meter on Beacon Street on that bridge that goes over the Yawkey T Station, steps from Fenway Park. Meter ended at 6, and I went in around then, since I knew there'd be no batting practice between games.First thing I did was get a shot looking right...

Jacoby Ellsbury, Conor Jackson Team Up to Make Red Sox History
BOSTON -- There were plenty of superlatives Monday night for the Red Sox. Their 18 runs tied a team season high, as did their 20 hits (as well as their three errors, but we won’t focus on that). They also did something in the seventh inning that has never been done in the long, slugging history of this franchise. Jacoby Ellsbury led off the seventh with an inside-the-park home...
